November 18, 1909- Arlington Review Herald- Amanda Waynick

A Pioneer Arlington Woman Laid to Rest After a Short Illness.
After suffering for two weeks from an attack of Bright's Disease, Mrs. John Waynick passed from life at her home in Arlington, Nov. 10, the funeral taking place on Tuesday of this week, Rev. Wm. Esplin, of the M.E. Church, conducting the very impressive service. Interment was in the Arlington cemetery. Mrs. Waynick had been ailing only about two weeks, and her death was a shock to her friends, many of whom had not heard of her illness. She is survived by her husband, a daughter, Mrs. Ida Irwin of Beatrice, and one son Edgar Waynick of Palo Alto, Calif., both of whom were present at the funeral.

Mrs. Waynick was born in Illinois in 1837, and was therefore 72 years old at the time of her death. She removed to Iowa in 1848, and was married to John Waynick at Albia, Ia., in 1855. Later they moved to Sheridan, Ia., where they engaged in farming operations. In 1861 Mr. Waynick responded to his country's call for volunteers and enlisted in Uncle Sam's army and spent almost continuously to the end of the war. During the absence of Mr. Waynick in the south Mrs. Waynick carried on the farm work at home, with success until her husband's return after the war. In 1869, the family removed to Nebraska and settled in Bell Creek, on the site of the present town of Arlington where they erected the first building ever erected here, and for some time conducted a store in the same. After remaining here about a year, however, they returned to Iowa, where they remained for several years. About the year 1885, they returned to Arlington and have made this their home ever since. Mrs. Waynick was a consistent member of the M.E. church, and was at all times an interested worker in the cause of religion. She was beloved by all who had the pleasure of her acquaintance and her death is keenly mourned by all.
