13 and 14 January 1902
Family member Ellen Warner (Johnson) quotes William Channing Gannett in her entry.
Interestingly Gannett has ties to other research I have done for different projects.
He was a Unitarian minister, named after the American Unitarianism founder, William Ellery Channing.
Gannett was even baptized by Channing.
My other research that ties to Unitarianism is for Mattie Shipley Culver.
Her husband, Ellery Channing Culver, was from the same New England area.,
and obviously named for Channing.
William Ellery Channing had his first parish in Milwaukee, my home town.
His background as an abolitionist and supporter of women's right to vote makes me like the quote that Ellen Warner.
