‘UNCLE’ MARSH WARNER DEAD

Old Citizen Answered Grim Reaper’s Call Yesterday. Marshall P. Warner, an old and well-known resident of Rensselaer, died at his home at the east side of town at 4:30 o’clock yesterday morning, at the age of almost seventynine years. He had been in poor health for some time and his death did not come unexpected. The funeral will be held Thursday afternoon at 2:30 o’clock from the Methodist church, and interment made in Weston cemetery. Mr. Warner leaves a wife and one child, James Warner, and there is one surviving Mother, Norman Warner of this city, remaining of the family of boys and girls; all except “Uncle’’ Norm now having passed over. For many years Mr. Warner was an active business man of Rensselaer, but some fifteen years ago he purchased a small tract of ground just at the east side of town and settled down to a retired life. Up until some months ago he had enjoyed very good health; he had since been stricken with paralysis and had gradually declined. For the last two or three days he had lain in a semi-conscious condition and it was known that the end was near.
