Margaret K. Vestner
Margaret K. Vestner died at SunBridge Healthcare in Wolfeboro on Feb. 9, 2001.
The youngest child of Dr. Victor A. and Mabel L. Kowalewski, she was born on May 28, 1913, in Orange, Conn. She attended public schools and graduated from Sarah Lawrence College. After completing her education, Molly, as she was affectionately called, was employed at Filene's in its advertising department. Subsequently, in pre-World War II, Margaret Vestner moved to an independent advertising agency in New York City. Later she became an editor for Vogue magazine until meeting her first husband, F. Graham Cunningham, to whom she married on Aug. 9, 1952. Together, in Westport, Conn., they raised Mr. Cunningham's two young children, Nancy Cunningham Kelly now of Freemont, and Cynthia Jean Barnaby now of Pompano Beach, Fla. The couple moved to Freedom on the retirement of F. Graham Cunningham in the early 1960s.
Mrs. Vestner was one of the original group of volunteers who sponsored and raised funds for the establishment of the Freedom Public Library, which later in life became her neighbor. After her first husband's death in 1973, Margaret Vestner moved into the village of Freedom from its outskirts until her marriage to Col. Eliot N. Vestner, also of Freedom, on June 5, 1974. The couple continued to reside in Freedom at Col. Vestner's home until his death in 1983. Margaret Vestner then returned to her home in the village of Freedom, beside the library, and became an avid collector of glass and antiques.
Margaret Vestner held a long career in advertising until her first marriage in 1952. Her advertising career was an ideal of today's professional women. She has always remained active in civic affairs in Westport and later in Freedom with particular interest in the Freedom Public Library and its growth.
Margaret Vestner is survived by three step-children, Nancy Kelly, Cynthia Barnaby and Eliot Vestner Jr., of Boston, Mass.; a nephew, Frederick Sandback of New York City; five grandchildren; a grand-niece and two grand nephews.
There will be no funeral services. Those who wish to make a memorial gift may do so to the Freedom Public Library, Freedom. A spring celebration in memory of Margaret Vestner will be held by her family and friends in Freedom at the convenience of the family. The Furber and White Funeral Home of North Conway is in charge of arrangements.
