Frederick S. Warner, for twenty-two-years a resident of this county, aged about 72, and the father of Kenneth G. Warner, president of the Umatilla County Woolgrowers’ Association, passed away at his home in Freewater on the 17th [May 1911], and was buried in Olney Cemetery last evening, with the Episcopal service. Rev. Charles Quinney officiating.
Mr. Warner was born in Vermont and engaged in business in that state before coming to Oregon. Upon his arrival here he and his brother, A. P. Warner, became partners in the sheep industry in which he continued until his health failed some twenty years ago. He formerly resided in the southern part of the county, later in Pendleton, and for the past few years near Freewater. He was a man of much ability and all his life a student.
He leaves a widow and several sons and daughters, the most of them residing in this county.
