Anna G. Kenyon was born May 19, 1869, at Neeleyville, Ill,, and passed away Sunday morning, June 16, at the age of 60 years and 28 days, at her home in Bassett. Although she had been in failing health for the past five years, her death was a shock to the relatives, neighbors and friends. Her early life was spent with her parents, brothers and sisters on a farm in Neeleyville, Ill., and she became an employee of the Civil Service, seven years being spent in the School for the Blind in Jacksonville, and two years in the School for the Blind at Vinton, Iowa.
She was united in marriage to Mr. Charles S. Warner, at Nora Springs, Iowa, on August 1, 1890, and came to Bassett where they have since resided. In April, 1918, when the "call to arms" came to our country, she accepted an appointment as postmistress of the Bassett postpffice, continuing in that service for six and a half years. She served her people well and faithfully until failing health made it necessary for her to retire to private life. She with her husnand then planned and built a comfortable home and it was her one desire to make life comfortable for her companion and herself in their declining years. She loved the trees and flowers and took much interest in them, even to visit them all and seemed to say good-bye only a few days before her death.
In her early womanhood she became a member of the Christian church in Chapin, Ill., and recently placed her letter for membership in the Christian church of Charles City.
She is survived by her husband, Charles S. Warner, and five sisters, Mrs. J. H. Vortman, of Neeleyville, Ill.; Mrs. David Foster, Jacksonville, Ill.; Mrs. Julius Ochler, Winchester, Ill.; and Jane and Marion, of Chapin, Ill. Her parents, one brother, John Kenyon, and two sisters, Mrs. John Aitkin, of Parsons, Kan., and Mrs. David Taylor, of Jacksonville, Ill., preceded her in death.
