    Frederick G. Warnick, the assistant cashier of the Knight Trust & Savings
Bank of Provo, was born at Pleasant Grove, Utah, August 30, 1872. His father,
the late Adolph F. Warnick, was a native of Sweden and came to America in 1870,
making his way direct to Utah, for he had embraced the religious belief of the
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and desired to cast his lot with the
members who had colonized Utah. He originally settled at Pleasant Grove and in
the spring of 1880 he removed to Deseret, where he continued his residence to
the time of his death, which occurred January 25, 1905, when he was seventy-two
years of age. He was a farmer and stock raiser by occupation and won a very
substantial measure of success. The attainment of prosperity was not the end and
aim of his life, however, for he gave much time and energy to the work of the
church and was bishop's counselor for many years. Prior to his emigration to the
new world he labored in his native land for many years as a missionary and
traveling elder and did everything in his power to advance the cause in which he
so firmly believed. His entire life was characterized by unfaltering uprightness
and honor in every transaction. The mother of Frederick G. Warnick, Mrs.
Christine (Olson) Warnick, is also a native of Sweden and came to America in
1871, making her way direct to Utah to join Mr. Warnick, becoming his wife in
the Endowment House, October 30, 1871. They had a family of six children, five
sons and a daughter. The mother survives and is now a resident of Deseret.

     Frederick G. Warnick was the eldest of the six children and was educated in
the schools of Millard county and in the commercial department of the Brigham
Young University, from which he was graduated with the class of 1906. He was
also graduated from the Rochester Business Institute at Rochester, New York, in
1900. He started out to earn his own livelihood when twenty-two years of age and
his first position was that of manager of a branch store at Hinckley, Utah,
owned by W. A. Ray, who was proprietor of a number of general merchandise
establishments in southern Utah. Mr. Warnick continued active in mercantile
lines for a year and was then called on a mission to the southern states, with
mission headquarters at Chattanooga, Tennessee. He labored for a year in the
West Virginia Conference and was then transferred to the East Tennessee
Conference, laboring as first assistant to Elder James E. Hart. He completed his
missionary labors in August, 1898, having served altogether for thirty-seven
months.

     It was after his return that he entered the commercial department of the
Brigham Young University and in the fall of 1899 be began teaching in the
commercial department of that institution, with which he was thus connected
until the spring of 1906. He then served as accountant with the William M.
Roylance Company of Provo until October, 1907, when he resigned his position to
become associated with the Knight Investment Company and so remained until the
fall of 1911, when he was elected to the position of secretary and treasurer of
the Knight Consolidated Power Company. He made an excellent official in that
position until the properties were sold to the Utah Power & Light Company. On
the 1st of March, 1913, the present Knight Trust, & Savings Bank was organized,
with Mr. Warnick as assistant cashier. In this position he has since
continuously served, contributing in large measure to   the development and
upbuilding of the business of the institution.

     On the 3d of January, 1900, Mr. Warnick was married in the Salt Lake City
Temple to Miss Clara Black, a native of Kanosh, Millard county, Utah, and a
daughter of William V. and Victoria (Ayers) Black. They have become the parents
of seven children: Elva, who was born June 3, 1901, and died September 14, 1902;
Leland, who was born November 4, 1902; Inez, born March 6, 1905; Paul E.,
September 22, 1907; Carl G., February 9, 1910; Don C., November 29, 1911; and
Erma, December 26, 1914.

     The family resides at No. 760 North Third street, East, where Mr. Warnick
owns a pleasant home. He is a member of the Provo fifth ward, where he served as
bishop's counselor for five years. He belongs to the Provo Commercial Club and
is interested in all that has to do with the uphuilding and welfare of his
adopted city. Along progressive business lines he has put forth earnest effort,
contributing to the material upbuilding of Provo, and his standing in business
circles is very high.
