Death of Chas. Warden.

The above well known young and respected citizen, after an illness of but ten days, died at his home in Rensselaer, at 5 a. m., Saturday, May 11th, and was buried from the Catholic church Monday morning. The funeral was very largely attended. He leaves a wife and three infant children, in very insecure circumstances, Mrs. Warden’s maiden name was Gleason, and she has the sympathy of the eng tire community in her gr-eatloss Mr. Warden was a very industrious man and may have taxed his strength and endurance beyond prudence.

Mrs. G. D. Warner and Mrs. M. P. Warner were called to Peoria, 111., last Thursday, to attend the funeral of Frank Hitchcock, whose wife is a neice of the last named lady. The death is particulary sad as the widow is a bride of but four months, and as Lizzie Warner she was very much admired by her many associates in Rensselaer, where she grew to womanhood. The cause of Mr. Hitchcock’s death was blood poisoning from injuries received in the white lead works where he worked last winter. Mrs. Hitchcock returned to Rensselaer last Monday and will make her home as before with her grandmother, Mrs. F. W. Bedford.
