When a lad of a few years, he came with his parents to Illinois, where later he joined with the Union forces in defending the flag of our country, having served three years in the civil war in Company C of the Tenth Regiment of Illinois Infantry.
April 22, 1867, he was united in wedlock to Eliza Mullen at Clayton, Ill., and in 1884, came to Kansas, locating on a farm near Ashton, later coming to Arkansas City. In 1908, having retired on account of very poor health. He suffered a stroke of paralysis which made him helpless for fourteen years.
Mr. Wartick was one of the most successful farmers of this section of the country. He was a good father and a kind husband. The bereaved wife and children have the profound sympathy of many friends here.
