Services Held For Prominent Emerson Resident Monday

Clyde Warren Well Known Influential Farmer Died Friday in Council Bluffs Hospital Following Brief Illness.

Clyde Warren, 63 prominent Mills county farmer, died suddenly Friday night in a Council Bluffs hospital where he had been taken the day before. His death came as a distinct shock to relatives and friends as he had been in the usual good health. An operation was performed which revealed a tumorous condition of the entire abdominal cavity.

Following the marriage of his son, Merrill last fall, Mr. and Mrs. Warren moved to Emerson turning the farm over to their son and his wife. Work had been started on the foundation for a new residence on the farm which was to have been occupied by the son and his wife as Mr. and Mrs. Warren intended to return to their farm home this spring. He had been at the farm all day Thursday and assisted with the work. That evening he was taken severely
ill and his condition gradually grew worse.

He was born on the Warren homestead, northeast of Glenwood and received his education in the Glenwood schools finishing his education at the State University of Iowa. Following his marriage he established his home on a farm northwest of Emerson where he has since resided.

He is survived by his wife, son, Lynn, of Burlington, son, Rollin, of Omaha, son, Merrill, residing on the home place, and a daughter, Mrs. Clydia Bass, who resides near Emerson. He is also survived by two brothers, C.R. Warren of Center township and Wilbur Warren of Greely, Col., who was unable to attend the funeral services owing to a recent illness from which he has not fully recovered.

Services were held in the Methodist church in Emerson this Monday afternoon and burial was made in the Emerson cemetery.
