ANNA J. WARNICK

Grantsville, Maryland

  Mrs. Anna J. (Gnagey) Warnick, 73, well-known and much beloved Grantsville 
resident, died early Friday morning, November 20, at her apartment here, after a 
two-week's illness of pneumonia.  Although Mrs. Warnick's health had been 
gradually failing her the past summer, she remained very active until two weeks 
before her death.
  Mrs. Warnick, a daughter of the late Jacob and Sarah Beachy Gnagey, was born 
October 30, 1869, at the home of her brother-in-law and sister, Mr. and Mrs. 
Albert Warnick.  She spent her entire life in this community.  On June 21, 1888, 
she was married to Noah Warnick, a highly esteemed native of this community, by 
Rev. J. W. Evans.  She and her husband purchased and successfully operated the 
large farm adjoining her home place.  Mrs. Warnick's hospitable farm home was 
widely known to and frequented by summer vacationers of Pittsburgh, Baltimore, 
and other nearby urban vicinities.  Her husband preceded her in death eleven 
years ago this month.  For the past few years Mrs. Warnick has resided at the 
Broadwater apartments.
  Mrs. Warnick joined the Trinity Reformed Church at New Germany in 1887 and 
transferred her membership to St. John's Reformed Church, at Grantsville, in 
1921, where she remained a loyal and active member.  She was a cherished member 
of the Grantsville Women's Guild.
  Surviving are two daughters, Lulu, Mrs. H. O. Miller, of Grantsville, and 
Ethel, Mrs. W. L. Dill, of Jerome, Pa., and three sons, Dalton and Harry of 
Cleveland, Ohio, and Cecil of Los Angeles, California; nine grandchildren, one 
of which is a Lieutenant at Aberdeen, Md., one sister, Mrs. Albert Warnick of 
Grantsville, and two brothers, Gideon J. Gnagey, of Grantsville, and C. J. 
Gnagey of Buffalo, N.Y.
  Funeral services were conducted Tuesday afternoon in St. John's Evangelical 
and Reformed Church with Rev. Ira S. Monn, Salisbury, and Rev. Alvin J. Forry, 
pastor, officiating.  Simple hymns, "Come Ye Disconsolate", "My Jesus as Thou 
Wilt", and "Just As I Am" were sung by the Choir; "One Sweet Solemn Thought" was 
sung by the Trio Mesdames A. J. Yoder, Mrs. H. J. Bender, and Mrs. Harry Yommer.  
Interment was in the Grantsville Cemetery.
