Clay County Missouri, obituary Warren, Charles Copyright. All rights reserved. http://www.usgwarchives.net/copyright.htm Charles Warren's occupation was a Miller. He was a Baptist by religion and served in the War of 1812. His birth and death dates may not be correct. One source states he died Jan. 7, 1882 another says Jan. 20, 1882 and a third Jan. 7, 1883. He was 85 yrs, 5 mos, and 7 days old at the time of his death. If this is correct then none of the above dates are correct if his birth year is correct. From an unknown newspaper: Elder Charles Warren Died at the residence of his son, John Warren, near Kearney, on the 7th inst., Elder Charles Warren aged 89 years, 5 months and 7 days. He was buried at Kearney, beside the wife of his youth, Monday in the presence of many friends, notwithstanding the extreme cold. Mr. Warren moved to Clay county at an early day, and has resided here ever since. He belonged to the "Ole Baptist Church," and has been a minister of that denomination for sixty or more years, always being prompt in meeting his appointments and obligations, religious and otherwise. He cared nothing for the glare and glitter of fashionable life, but in all his dealings with his fellow men he was guided by the rule to do unto others as he would be done by. He was a wonderfully robust man, and even as late as two years ago, would walk to any place in the county in preference to riding. In the death of Mr. Warren the County has lost a valued citizen, his children a devoted father, and the church a strong piller. We shall not see his like again soon. contributed by: Sherry
