Death of Dr. W. S. Trimmer
Livonia lost a citizen and professional man of over four decades residence here in the death Sunday evening of Dr. Will S. Trimmer at his home on South Spring street. Climaxing poor health of more than a year. Dr. Trimmer was taken worse last Friday and failed rapidly. The funeral was held Wednesday afternoon at the residence at 2 o'clock, the officiating clergyman being the Rev. L A. Davin, pastor of the Livonia Methodist church. Bearers were Gustav Graf,Lee Richardson, Bert Fitch, Theo. Prottojohn, Byron Sherwood and Dr. Frank Smarzo. The remains were taken to the crematory in Rochester whero a committal service was held, and further services will be at Union comotory, Livonia, at the option of the family.
Dr. Trimmer was born in the town of Richmond on the 6th of June 1861, the son of Wm. H. and Emeline Gould Trimmer. His early education he received in Lima and after deciding on medicine as a career he went the University of Cincinnati, from which institution he received his medical degree in 1880. He began practicing Bloods (now Atlanta), remaining there one year, coming then to Livonia, where he remained until his death.
On the 28th of Otcobor of 1891 Dr. Trimmer wns married to Miss Hattie Knapp of Penn Yan, who survives him. He leaves also one daughter, Mrs. Frank Locke, of Livonia, and three grandchildren; one sister, Mrs. Alice Ganung of Avon, and two nieces, Mrs. Fulton Darrow of Avon, and Miss Kathleen Westlake of Rochester.
During his earlier years, Dr. Trimmer was very active in civic and political affairs, having served as president of the school board, president of the board of health, supervisor and in other capacities. He was a singer of ability and was one of a male quartet which was prominent in this section during many of the exciting political campaigns of some years ago. Fraternally, Dr. Trimmer's keenest interest was in Free Masonry: An enthusiastic member of the Livonia Blue lodge, as well as a past master; one of the organizers in 1916, and the first high priest, of the local Royal Arch chapter, member of the Cyrene Commondery of Rochester and of the Shrine.
Dr. Trimmer's period of marked failing health dates, it seems, from the time of the fire of 1930, in the business section, when his office and all of its contents were destroyed. He saved only his day book and this loss of everything tangible which linked him to his long years of professional life, plus the break in association of location and folks, had a physical reaction on him which he found it impossible to overcome.
Dr. Trimmer assisted in the first and last rites of the members of scores of families in and around Livonia during his forty year practice here, and the death of this widely known man as a member of the medical profession will touch more homes directly, perhaps, than the passing of the representative of any other group, unless it be that of the clergy.
