LifeWestlake was born in Ingersoll, Ontario.[1] The family moved to London, Ontario where her father succeeded in business. One of her first published works was a serial western story titled "Stranger Than Fiction," published magazine. She became a sub-editor of the newly formed St. Thomas "Journal," replacing her brother who died in 1881 at the age of 27. She was given the editorship of the " Fireside Weekly," a family story paper published in Toronto. She sometimes signed her work "Aunt Polly Wogg." She was a Baptist and a Liberal. In 1891 a very successful book "Sitting Bull's White Ward" was published exploiting the death of Sitting Bull the year before. Westlake is believed to be its anonymous author.[2] She wrote for Canadian Magazine.[3] In 1906 she published A Specimen Spinster[4] which was her only book in her name. The book was about the views on life of Aunt Polly Wolly.[2] Westlake died in London, Ontario in 1906.
