Warren Was Outstanding State Road Builder Malcolm J. Warren, 48 years old, more widely known to friends and acquaintances as "Butch" Warren, died at the Veterans' Hospital at Lexington last Friday, April 28, after a several months' illness. Mr. Warren suffered a slight paralytic stroke last November, but recovered sufficiently to resume his duties in the late winter and early spring. His last illness covered a period of several weeks prior to his death. Although a native of Breckinridge county, Mr. Warren had lived the greater part of his life in Louisville, where he received his early education. He was recognized as one of the outstanding road engineers of the state road department and it was said of him that he had built more miles of concrete highway in Kentucky than any other man connected with the state road department. Mr. Warren came to Bath county in October, 1930, as a resident engineer on the construction of that part of U. S. 60 between the Allie Young farm and Farmers. Other projects which he supervised in this immediate vicinity include that part of the Fields Highway from the city limits of Mt. Sterling to the Bath county line; the long stretch of concrete in Fleming and Rowan counties lying between Morehead Flemingsburg and the concrete highway from Maysville to the Lewis county line. From the time he first came to Bath county in 1930 until his death he had maintained his official residence at Salt Lick. At the time of his death Mr. Warren was Assistant District Engineer of Rural Highways with headquarters at Maysville. Possessed of a genial disposition, he was widely popular and numbered many friends in this county. Those from here who attended the funeral at Louisville Monday were Mr. and Mrs. S. F. Owsley, Miss Madge Shrout, S. M. Estill, J. J. Thomas, Carl Manley, Clyde Alexander and T. B. Staggs of Salt Lick.
