ACCIDENT
Resulting in the Death of DR.. H. e. War
rem, of this Place.

effect OF which she died the f0llOWlng
day at 4 q. IN. 1t will probably never be
known just how the accident occurred.
The lady who was riding with her thinks
that the horse became frightened by
Overhanging limbs brushing against the
top Of the carriage and wheeled
short about, turning it over and throw
the doctor to the ground with such force
that several bones Of the upper part OF
the chest were broken, perfOrating the
lung, besides producing severe wound
on the forehead.
One Of the wheels of the buggy came
off, though there appeared to be no in
jury to either nut or axle. 1t is also
suggested that in the confusion and ex-
citement she may have pulled the wrong
rein, but which one or whether all these
things combined to produce the result
cannot be known. She was taken to the
house Of her brother, Frank Warren, and
though apparently conscious, was too bad
ly hurt to speak more than an occasional
word, and gave no explanation Of the
accident.
Funeral services were held at her
brothers residence, Thursday at 1:90
p. m. conducted by DR.. M. D. Buell., of
Boston. The address was made at her
request by DR.. ]. W. HOughtOn, who at
its conclusion read the following sketch
of her life and character:
A request left with the family by DR..
Warren some time before her death is my
apology for being here in this unusual
capacity. Professional tastes and COM
mon sympathies, social, political and
otherwise, cOnspired to bring us fire.
Quently in each others society and l may
have come to know her more intimately
than most others, save her near
relatives, but it is with diff
dence, that 1 undertake to sketch
the life and character so lately moving
among us in health and with promise of
many years Of usefulness, ibut now passed
into the unknown.
She came Of New England stock and SC
was well grounded in integrity and
morals. Her conscience was so sensitive
and discriminating that it stood her next
in place as monitor and guide to the di-
vine law. Rightness on all moral ques,
tiOns was her supreme ambition, and
that settled her position was un'
waveringly fixed.
Beginning life in the old anti
slavery days, when to profess sympathy
for the poor black brought social and pO
litical Ostracism even in this garden Of
civil and religious liberty, she was early
made acquainted with the refined cruel
ties humanity so frequently delight tC
practice upon those that entertain new
and strange doctrines. But this proved
to her a discipline in intellectual an(
moral independence, integrity Of pur
pose, and firmness Of will, which made
the basis Of her more mature character
Her fathers house was one Of the stations
Of the underground railway running
from the south toward the north star, ant
entertained many dusky fugitive OF
his way to freedom.
Sympathy with suffering was thu
early developed along with the lesson o
self sacrifice.
Later, when the great battle with in
temperance come on, she placed hersel
in the front rank, doing most eficien
service, not needing the taunts and jeer
and the more excruciating methods o
persecution which modern civilization
has reduced to a fine art. Knowing
from history and observation that ther
was a penalty to be paid by every on
who would engage in any mOvemen
that antagonized the prejudices and tn
vices Of society, she faltered not. Sal
isfed of its righteousness, she took nc
counsel of fashion or custom or conserva
tism,
"But humbly joined her to the weaker par
Fanatic named and fool, yet well content
So she could be the nearer to Gods heart,
And feel It's solemn pulses sending blood
Through all the wide spread veins of endles
good"
She desired the overthrow Of wicked
ness, vice and crime, the establishmen
Of peace and justice; she wanted in shOl
what God wanted, and once settled i
her convictions not all the world cOul
prevent her following in the line Of dut!
No one, whatever his religious opinion
or theological beliefs, was more thorough
in earnest or more energetically engage
in fastening the coming Of the kingdOl
Of righteousness.
Modest and unpretentious, she yet ha
a vigorous intellect, a good memOr
was an extensive reader and thorough
in touch with all the progressive idei
and movements Of the day. She had (,
her grievance the woes and misfortun
Of the afflicted and oppressed, and in h
efforts to compass their release knew !
shrinking, no selfshness. The fOllOV
ing lines are descriptive Of her characte
"She was a woman; one in whom
The sprlngtime Of her childish years
Had never lost Its fresh perfume,
!. Though knowing we'll that life hath room
; For many blights and many tears.
, "She did little kindnesses,
Which most leave undone or despised
For nought that sets one heart at ease,
