Ingersoll, Editor (1893) MRS. ANNA GALLANAR, editor and proprietor of The Pacific Grove Review, is a native of New Franklin, Howard county, Mo.; a daughter of Adam Lohry. He was a native of Germany, and by occupation a merchant. He was married at Louisville, Kentucky, to Miss Susanna Deering, and emigrated to California in 1853, locating at Lotus, El Dorado county, where he for the remainder of his life engaged in merchandising. He died in 1880. Of the ten children of his family, Mrs. Gallanar was the fifth. She enjoyed the blessings of a happy home circle and received a thorough schooling, and at the age of twenty-tour married Geo. W. Gallanar. After marriage they made their home in San Francisco, where they resided until 1888, when they came to Pacific Grove. In 1889 Mr. Gallanar commenced the publication of the Pacific Grove Review and conducted the same until Mrs. Gallanar assumed control in 1890. The following year she became sole owner and editor of the Review, and now conducts its publication. Mrs. Gallanar's management of the paper has proven a marked success. She is by instinct and inclination a journalist, admirably fitted to edit end publish a journal such as the cultured and ethical people of Pacific Grove demand. Mrs. Gallanar is a lady of irrepressible determination and force of character. She also possesses a hopeful, sunny nature, these notable traits of character giving a strength and luster to her writings that constitute a valued and happy feature of the Pacific Grove Review, mention of which will be found elsewhere in this volume.
