Death Claims Another Pioneer
Mrs. Matilda Warner, passed to that other world last Friday morning at 2 o’clock, December 31, 1909. Her demise occurred at the home of her brother, J-ohn Brubaker, in Allen, Neb, in whose home she had been visiting for the past two months. She had been in comparatively good health for a woman of her advanced age, until the day before her death, when she was taken with a severe attack of kidney trouble, which with other complications incident to old age was more than her frail constitution would bear.
The deceased woman was in her 80th year, and had been a resident of Dakota county since April, 1867, coming here from Richland, Iowa, with her husband, the late Gideon Warner, and had lived a greater portion of these years at their comfortable farm home on Omaha creek, about five miles southwest of Dakota City.
Her husband, Gideon Warner, preceded her to that other world in February 1903, at the home of their son, D W Warner, in Alberta, Canada.
The deceased woman is survived by eight children, four sons and four daughters, Daniel Webster, of Alberta, Canada; William P, of Omaha; Geo O, of this county; Elmer and Mrs. Ella Coburn, of Great Falls, Mont, Mrs. Jane Ward, of Dixon county, Mrs. Alice Bevins, of Omaha, and Mrs. Emma Rathbun, of LaCrosse, Wash.
The funeral services were held at Allen, Neb, Saturday morning from the home of her brother, John Brubaker, and the remains were shipped from there to Homer and were laid to rest by the side of her husband and companion in the Taylor cemetery Saturday afternoon.

….Mrs. Matilda Warner was born in York, Penn, in 1831, and died at the home of her niece, Mrs. D.D. Lints, in Allen, Thursday, Dec. 30, 1909. She was married to Gideon Warner in Iowa in 1850, coming to Dakota county to live in 1868 where they resided many years south of Dakota City on a farm, and where they went through pioneer times with the earlier settings. While on a visit to Alberta, Canada, a few years ago Mr. Warner died, and since that time Mrs. Warner has made her home with her daughter, Mrs. Jane Ward near Allen. Mrs. Warner was a sister of our townsman, John Brubaker and was the mother of 13 children, 8 of whom still live: U S Marshal W P Warner and George Warner of Dakota County; D W of Canada; and Elmer of Montana; Mrs. Jane Ward of Allen; Mrs. Bevins of Omaha; Mrs. Coburn of California, and Mrs. Rathbun of Washington. Deceased was a pioneer of Northeast Nebraska, was a consistent Christian, a loving mother and dutiful and devoted wife. Her summons, which came as a result of old age, calls her to a greater and more beautiful lie beyond. Her remains were laid to rest in the cemetery near Hubbard last Saturday, Rev. Druliner conducting services here and at the burial. Many friends here extend sympathy to the bereaved ones.
