MRS. ISAAC WARNER

Olivia Minerva Vinson was born in Mercer County, Ohio, on New Year’s Day in the year 1838, and came with her parents to Iowa in the year 1841 and settled on a farm near what is known as Lebanon, Iowa, five miles north of Cantril, Van Buren County, Iowa. She grew to womanhood and was married to Isaac N. Warner March 20, 1862. They moved at once to a farm on the Fox River bottom, one mile north of Cantril, where they resided continuously until Mr. Warner’s demise, which was in April, 1909. Since that time she had made her home in the little city of Cantril. Being reared by Christian parents she early embraced the religion of Jesus and united with the Methodist Episcopal Church at what is now Lebanon, although it was a country church then near her home. She has always been a supporter of the church and of the work of the church and with her demise the church has lost one of the heaviest payers, both at home and in missions in the foreign field. There were born to them in that country home three daughters and one son. The daughters are Mrs. May Hale of Cantril, Iowa; Mrs. Minnie Pea?ock of Keosauqua, Iowa, and Mrs. Adda Casady of Cantril, Iowa; the one son, Bert I., of Cantril. Besides these she leaves to mourn one sister, Mrs. Minnie Miller of Los Angeles, California, and one brother, Henry Vinson of Eldon, Iowa, together with (31?) grandchildren and 8 great grandchildren, and the Hosford relation of half sister and children whose names the writer cannot give, whose home is in ILL. The affliction of which she died was of several months’ duration.
