THEODORE WARNER DEAD

Veteran Of Civil War Found Dead At His Home Here Sunday.

Theodore Warner , 82 years old, a veteran of the Civil War, was found dead Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock at his home here. 267 Beem St. He had been ailing since Friday night but it was not thought to be serious. He complained of dizziness at times, but refused to have a physician. He was seen at 1 o'clock Sunday when William Denny, a neighbor, asked if he wished anything. Mr. Warner seemed jovial as usual. His death was evidently due to heart failure, as he had often complained of a troublesome heart affection.
Mr. Warner has lived by himself since moving to Spencer from Clay township a few months ago. His nearest neighbors are William Denny and James Sills and they have been looking after his wants since his illness of last Friday night. Mr. Denny called at noon to see if he desired any tliiuier, which he did not. Again, at 1 o'clock, Denny talked with him and found him apparently his usual self.
At 3 p.m. Denny went to see about re-building Mr. Warner's fire and looked through the window, thinking if he was asleep he would not awaken him. He noticed the closed eyes and opened mouth and called Siils. When they entered thev found him dead. William Fender was notified and he in turn called sheriff Alex Fulk, who in companv with J . C. Clark, C. A. Hutchinson, and a representative of the Leader, went at once to the Warner home. Coroner Fred Blair at Patricksburg was notitied and started at once for Spencer.
Mr. Warner was born in Germany in 1834. On coming to America he settled in Pennsylvania,later coming to Indiana. At the outbreak of the Rebellion he enlisted in Co. B. 52 Ind. Vol.Inf. and was recognized as a good soldier. Following the death of his wife he has lived alone and a few months ago he moved to Spencer and bought the little dwelling on Beem street. Mrs. Warner died at Braysville in June. 1889. and was buried at Heddings Chapel. Mr. Warner has a son, Frank, living at Komalty, Okla. and he was notified by wire by J. C. Clark. Two step-sons survive Mr. Warner; They are Albert Freeman living near Vandalia, and John M Freeman at Pottersville.
Mr. Warner was an enthusiastic member of the G.A.R seldom missing a meeting. His absence last Saturday occasioned comment.
The body was taken in charge by undertaker Ralph Edwards
and prepared for burial. It was removed to the home of Earl
Baker near by to await word from the son in Oklahoma.
Word was received Monday from the son, Frank, saying he
would arrive here Wednesday, and definite arrangements for
the funeral await his coming.
