C.A. Warner Dies Suddenly // Death Came After Illness of Few Hours of Apoplexy.
~~~The entire city was shocked yesterday at the wholly unexpected news of the death of Mrs. Charles A. Warner, which said event occurred at noon at his residence, No. 1445 Second avenue, after an illness of only a few hours of apoplexy. ~~ Mr. Warner was in usual health the day before his death, and worked in the office of the Georgia Fertilizer Company until 11:30 o'clock Monday night. The work in the company's office is heave just now, as the season is nearing its close and Mr. Warner has been very busily engaged closing up the books and accounts for the present season. He was most faithful and industrious in his office work and often worked until a late hour on his books. Monday night after leaving his office he went directly home and in a short time retired. About one o'clock Mrs. Warner noticed that he was breathing very heavily. His breathing grew so labored and difficult that she became alarmed and upon investigation found him in an unconscious state. A physician was hastily sent for, but could do nothing to relieve him. Mr. Warner never regained consciousness and died at five minutes after twelve o'clock.
Charles Arthur Warner was 40 years of age, being a son of Major J.H. Warner and Harriett Etheridge Warner. ~~ He was born in Portsmouth, Va., and came to Columbus some 15 years ago. He married Miss Susie Swift, who with two children, Joan and Charles A. Warner, Jr., survives him. He is also survived by a sister, Miss Virginia Warner of this city, and a brother, Mr. Alexander Warner of Portsmouth, Va. The deceased was a member of the Episcopal church. He was a member of several secret orders – Chattahoochee Conclave of the Improved Order of Heptasophs and Independent Order of Forresters in Columbus and the Royal Arcanum in Virginia.
Mr. Warner's father, Major J.H. Warner, was in charge of the Confederate naval iron works in Columbus during the war. Shortly after the war he was shot down on the streets of Columbus by members of the negro military garrison then stationed here. The murder caused the deepest indignation among the citizens and a few days afterward it was deemed advisable to move all the negro troops from this city.
The news of the death of Mr. Warner spread rapidly over the city yesterday and carried a pang of sorrow to the hearts of many friends, who appreciated fully his many noble qualities of character. Mr. Warner was a man of warm heart and generous impulses, who was true and loyal to his friends, and always ready to render them any service in his power. He was a most tender and affectionate husband and father and his marked devotion to his two little children was beautiful. Nothing delighted him more than to be with his little boy and girl, and in their pleasure he found the deepest happiness. He was a loving brother, and in fact, in all the relations of life was loyal and true. Mr. Warner was most conscientious in the discharge of his business duties. He was an expert bookkeeper and found real pleasure in the realization of duty well done. For years he was at the Lowell warehouse and had a large acquaintance among the country people, by whom he was sincerely liked. Mr. Warner had been a member of the city Democratic executive committee and had rendered faithful service in the capacity of secretary. He was thoroughly identified with the community in both a business and social way, and his death has caused sadness in all circles.
The funeral will take place from the late residence this afternoon at three o'clock. Interment will be at Linwood Cemetery. The pallbearers will be Messrs. T.W. Bates, L.H. Chappell, J.T. Fletcher, Richard Howard, Peter Preer, H.C. Freeman, Dr. W.L. DesPortes and William Chambers.
