Gideon Ganoe was born in Warriorsmark valley, March 29, 1825, and died March 6, 
1904, aged 78 years, 11 months and 7 days.  All the years of his life were spent 
in the valley in which he was born, with the exception of three and one-half 
years he served in the war of the rebellion.  Deceased was one of a family of 
eleven children, all of whom preceded him to the grave, as did his wife, also, 
over twenty-two years ago.  Three of his own children have passed to the other 
side.  Five children survive to mourn their loss: Andrew, of Barnesboro; Dorsey, 
of Mahaffey; Mrs. Irwin Switzer, of Sinking Valley; Mrs. John Gill, of 
Philipsburg, and Miss Ella, at home.  With his wife, Mr. Ganoe united with the 
Presbyterian church in Warriorsmark about thirty-five years ago, and both 
continued in that relation until their death.  Mr. Ganoe was stricken with 
paralysis three years ago last June, and remained a helpless invalid until 
released from his suffering.  The funeral services were held from his late home 
in Warriorsmark, Tuesday, March 8, at 1 o'clock, the Rev. E. M. Aller, pastor of 
the Methodist Episcopal church, officiating.  Interment in Warriorsmark 
cemetery.
