Death of Mrs. Alice Ganung

Mrs. Alice E. Ganung, a Livonia resident for many years in her earlier life, died in the Eastern Star Home in Oriskany, N. Y., about 3 o'clock last Friday afternoon. Nov. 20, 1953.

Death came following a stroke two days earlier, at lunch time. She had been around as usual Wednesday morning, in excellent health and spirits, and was ready for lunch, but when the hour arrived she was missed from the group going to the dining room. Investigation revealed that she had suffered a stroke in her room.

But she went just as she had wanted to, quickly, quietly, serenely, without fuss or confusion, in possession of all her facilities. During a long lifetime she has passed through many deep waters. It was fitting that the end of the journey should come in peace.

Mrs. Ganung was one of four children (three girls and a boy) of the late William and Emeline Gould Trimmer, and was born in the town of Richmond on May 12, 1865. She attended Genesee Wesleyan Seminary at Lima and then taught school in South Lima. It was there that she met George Westlake, Erie station agent. They married in 1883, and started housekeeping in South Lima. Subsequently Mr. Westlake was transferred to Springwater, Avoca, and finally to Livonia. Six children, all girls, were born to them: Lera, Madge, Ethel, Kathleen, Ruth, and Edna. Of the six, only the oldest, now Mrs. Fulton Darrow of Conesus Lake, survives her mother. Mr. Westlake died in 1899. His wife was a widow at 34, with a large and young family.

In 1912 Mrs. Westlake married A. C. Ganung of Livonia, who died some 13 years later. For the next several years she lived with her daughter. Mrs. Darrow in Avon, the last 10 years had been spent at the Eastern Star Home in Oriskany.

Mrs. Ganung was a member of and active worker in the Livonia Baptist Church before its affiliation with the Congregational denomination and transferred her membership to the latter. She was also very active in Eastern Star circles and was past matron of Livonia Chapter, before the local Sons of Veterans Auxiliary dissolved, her active interest was manifested there also. Her helpfulness was extended in varied directions, her competence, composure and self-confidence, largely born of personal suffering, were as source of strength in many times of individual stress.

Funeral services were held at 2 o'clock Tuesday afternoon at the Reed & Reed Funeral Home, with burial in Union Cemetery. The Rev. Sterling Wetherell, Livonia Congregational Church pastor, officiated.

Surviving, besides Mrs. Darrow are two grandsons, George K. Darrow of Concord, Calif. and Reginald Darrow of Rochester, N. Y.
