"Mrs. Warfield was before her marriage, Miss Clara Cochrane, the daughter of John O. and Mary Winston Cochrane of Virginia.

A representative of families of renown in Virginia and Kentucky, Mrs. Warfield's beautiful life and character had endeared her to all who had known her since she came to Lexington as a bride. Her literary ability, her broad culture, and gentleness, and the remarkable alertness which endured in her old age brought to her many friends for counsel and enlightenment. She was a member of Christ Church Cathedral, and throughout her life in Lexington was interested in the work of the church.
