A Good Man Gone
On yesterday morning at 2 o'clock Wm. Warner, after a short illness, passed away as though going to sleep. he was taken down with nervous prostration, which later developed into what seemed to be an attack of pneumonia, and he suffered, but not intensely, even to the last, and it was somewhat of a surprise to the watchers to see he had come to the end.
Mr. Warner was born in New York in 1827, (and) came to Illinois when young. His father was a judge of some prominence, and his brothers held high positions in their respective avocations, one of them was a judge of the court in the county in which St. Joseph is located.
When a young man the war broke out and he enlisted as a private in Co. G. 39th regiment, Illinois volunteers, and served till September, 1864. In 1866 he came to Kansas and settled three miles south of Monmouth, where he got acquainted with Miss Eva Warner,(sic) whom he married a year or two later, and to them several children were born, but only the youngest, Lars L. Warner, is known to be alive. he was on the Pacific coast, and hastened here, being four days on the road, but got here 24 hours before death came. the father was rational, and the meeting was an affectionate one. One other son has not been heard from for a year, and it is feared that some harm has befallen him. His wife died six years ago.
In early life he was converted, joined the Methodist church, and ever since we have known him, he has been very consistent, deeply pious, and very quiet in his ways. His whole life has been spent in doing good. His faith in God was simple and trusting, and when he spoke of the future it was with a beautiful, trusting hope. His was a faith that reached across the dark river, into the brightness beyond. Dying to him was but opening a curtain into a more beautiful abode. He had the respect of everybody, even the most reckless regarded him as a saint of God.
His funeral was held this afternoon in the church where he had so often told of the goodness of God to him, as unworthy as he was.
He was laid by loving hands beside his wife in the city cemetery. The services were in charge of the G.A.R. of which he has been chaplin for years.

Lars L. Warner and J.J. Snyder left on Wednesday for the state of Washington, where they go to seek their fortunes. We hope that the boys will succeed. They are both steady young men, and have had considerable experience in the business world, and no doubt this will come in handy when they launch out for themselves. They bought tickets for Seattle.
