John Warrick, an old bachelor who lived on a farm about four miles southeast of Herman, died suddenly last Wednesday afternoon of heart failure. He was trying to take a pump out of the well, but could not manage it alone and called to a neighbor boy, Frank Bailey, to help him. They got the pump out and laid it down, but the lift was too much for the old man, he staggered and fell dead of heart failure. Coroner Pierce was notified and the body brought to his morgue and held until Saturday when interment was made, nothing being heard from any relatives. In fact nothing is known of Mr. Warrick’s people aside from a letter found in his pocket from a sister in Scotland. He had a 240 acre farm, but it was heavily encumbered so he leaves practically nothing for anyone to fight over.

Gravesite Details

Blair Library Cemetery records list this man, with his death date and plot number, but there is NO STONE VISIBLE for any Warrick in this plot. Many empty spaces here in Block 14, but no tombstones for any Warricks. Perhaps there was a wooden marker
