Don Warner
Dies at Home
in California
Resident Here Until Few Years Ago
Succumbs After Eut a Short
Illness Funeral Here.
From Tuesday's Daily
Charles Donald Warner, 2C, mem
ber of one of the pioneer families
of Cass county, died this morning at
his home in Los Angeles, following
an illness that has covered several
weeks.
The seriousness of his condition
was not learned until Monday and
followed by the message of his pass
ing came as a great shock to the
members of the family as well as the
many old time friends.
Mr. Warner was a son of the late
Fred Warner and a grandson of Mrs.
Charles H. Warner of this city. Ke
spent his boyhood and youth in this
community and was educated in the
local schools, making his home for
a great deal of the time with his rel
atives. Donald was a bright and genial
young man and had made many
friends by his pleasant disposition
and who will learn with the deepest
sorrow of his passing.
He has made his home on the west
coast for the past two years, being
married there a year ago and has
since resided at Los Angeles.
Today marked the tenth anniver
sary of the death of the father of
the young man and also the birthday
anniversary of Donald, called in the
prime of life to the last long rest.
The departed is survived by the
young wife, a sister, Mrs. Gretchen
Blunt, his mother, who resides
in California, his aged grandmother
of this city and a large number of
aunts, uncles and cousins in this com
munity. The body will arrive here Satur
day night from Los Angeles and it
is expected that the funeral services
will be held Monday afternoon at 2
o'clock at the Sattler funeral home.
The interment will be at the Horn
ing cemetery south of the city.
