WARREN--This (Friday) morning about six o'clock the Baptist church bell tolled the announcement of the death of another one of our most respected citizens, Miles Warren. He breathed his last about 5 o'clock a.m., aged 65 years. Deceased, for the past six months or more, complained of not being in good health; but was able to be around and attended to business matters until about five weeks since. "Cap" as he was called, was a generous hearted citizen. No one ever knocked at his heart for assistance that he deemed worthy of it, was ever turned away. He served several years as Capt. in the army in the war between the North and South and was engaged in several fierce battles. At the end of the war he was one of those who was fortunate enough to return home without any wounds; but internally, was almost a complete wreck, as he went into the battle field weighing close on 200 pounds and came out of it reduced to but 80 pounds. During the administration of President Cleveland, he served as postmaster for Bellwood. He leaves behind him a wife, two sons and four grown up daughters, all of whom deeply mourn the loss of a beloved husband and father. The funeral services will be held tomorrow afternoon at 2 p.m. in the Baptist church. Deceased was also one of Bellwood's earliest settlers, having come here from Michigan when the present town site was nothing but a vast prairie of weeds.--Bellwood Gazette.

WARREN--Capt. Miles Warren of Bellwood, died at his home in that town at five o'clock this morning, of heart failure and a dropsical condition. Capt. Warren was sixty-five years old, and leaves a wife, two sons and three daughters--the children all having arrived at the age of maturity. Deceased has always been a man of influence in the community in which he lived. He has resided in Butler county for nearly a quarter of a century. He was a leader in the democratic party for many years; he was post-master at Bellwood under Cleveland's administration, and had received the appointment to the commandership of the soldiers' home when Governor Boyd was ousted.--[David City Press, June 10.]

H.T. Spoerry and W.W. Rice, members of Baker post G.A.R., attended the funeral of Capt. Miles Warren at Bellwood, Saturday, at two o'clock. The funeral was conducted by G.A.R. posts of Bellwood and David City, and there were about a hundred comrades present. We learn that the cause of Capt. Warren's death was apoplexy, and that he died Thursday. He was greatly admired for his generous disposition, by all his acquaintances.
