Caroline Werner (January 22, 1984- January 4, 1979) was born in Rochester, New York,
on January 22, 1894, the daughter of Lillie Boller Werner and New York State Court
of Appeals Judge William E. Werner. She attended public schools in Rochester until
the 8th grade, completing her education in various private schools. She also spent
a year at "Pension Glucker," a girls school in Munich, and traveled throughout Europe
during her teens. On March 25, 1920, Miss Werner married Frank E. Gannett, who had
moved to Rochester two years earlier when he and two business associates purchased
the ROCHESTER TIMES-UNION. A strong supporter of her husband's business and political
careers, Mrs. Gannett campaigned actively for her husband when he sought the Republican
nomination for the presidency in 1940. She also served as a board member of the Gannett
Company, as Vice President and Director of the Gannett Foundation, and was involved
in the Frank E. Gannett Nespaperboy Scholarships and the Gannett Youth Center. Remaining
active in politics after Frank Gannett's death in 1957, she served as co-chairwoman
of the Senior Americans for Nixon-Lodge Committee in 1960.
Caroline Gannett's social and civic works were numerous. She served as a member of
the Board of the Convalescent Hospital for Crippled Children, member of the War Council
of New York (working in centers caring for children of war plant workers during World
War II), vice-chairwoman of the First Aid Department of the Rochester Chapter of the
American Red Cross (1941-1944), member of the Honorary Board of Partrons of Hartwick
College (1944), honorary chairwoman of the Lights-on-for-the-Blind Drive of the Rochester
Eye Bank (1958), and as a member of many other organizations. In 1947 she was appointed
to the New York State Board of Regents, a position she held until 1963. Mrs. Gannett
was also affiliated with the Syracuse University Youth Development Center (1958-1961)
and the 1960 White House Conference on Children and Youth. She died on January 4,
1979.

The White House Conference on Children and Youth has been held every ten years since
it was first originated by James E. West and sponsored by President Theodore Roosevelt
in 1909. The purpose of the conference is to assess the needs and conditions of children,

shortages of programs for assisting the juvenile offender, substandard housing and
slums in rural areas and inner cities, health problems in children such as blindness,
birth defects, mental illness, immunization, carcinomas, and poor nutrition. Proposals
for changes in legislation, education, government funding, and medical care were discussed,
as well as future trends in these areas. Honorary Chairman was president Dwight D.
