IN MEMORlAM
Rev. Henry Warman

oS.Si AiihdeIoII, IldSHctlC personality,
high ideals and answering loyalty
to whatever was right and just-such
was he whose loss we mourn with a
feeling of genuine grief and unaffected
sorrow. No expression of grief can
measure the greatness of our loss.
His was life whose worth cannot be
estimated. His deeds were not such
as will be heralded from the mountain
top of fame, but of the kind that will
be whispered silently in the peaceful
shade of the valleys; the strength of
his life was not as the force of a great
river, whose resistless flood, is trans
formed into power that moves the
wheels of commerce, but rather the
force OF tributary that waters the
quiet places and makes glad the desert.
Henry Warman was born December
6, 1866, in New Brunswick, Canada,
on farm where the aged parents yet
reside. He was given good education
al advantages in the public schools,
acadamy and university, distinguish
ing himself as capable student. He
chose the ministery as his life work
and devoted himself to his profession
with zeal and earnestness that made
him success in his work. For three
years he preached in New Brunswick
and Maine. He afterwards came to
Montana and joined the conference of
the Methodist Episcopal church, serv-
ing as pastor at Red Lodge, White
hall, Glendive and Forsyth. He had
recently b IN appointed presiding
elder of the Yellowstone district, thus
entering upon wider field of useful
ness.
His life was short indeed-too short
But she lived in deeds not years, in
thoughts not breaths. - Although his
time spent among us was short, his potent
influence was of that character which
has made a marked impression upon
the lives of all with whom he came in
contact. There is but one thought
among the people for whom and with
whom he labored so earnestly-one
purpose-to do honor to him whose life
has been the highest inspiration for
the attainment of that perfect life. His
courage and loyalty to duty will never
be forgotten and the memory of this
man of God, will, with it's blessed in
f1uence, inspire his people with a sense
of duty and guide them in the accom-
plishment of his unfn shed work, as did
the heart of Robert Bruce, flung ahead
of the army, whom in life he had loved,
lead them to victory which they had
completely dispaired of gaining.
On Jan. 10, 1898, he was married to
Louisa NJ. Young, whose death in 1901
was the great sorrow of his life, which
he felt keenly even to the time of his
death. Mr.. Warman although, appar-
antly, a man of great strength and en-
durance, was taken suddenly i'll dur
ing the night of Oct..1. The following
week he was taken to Asberry hospital
where he was obliged to undergo an
operation. With his characteristic
courage he made a brave fight for life,
but was unable to withstand the terri
bic inroads which pain and disease
had made upon his body and quietly
passed away on the morning of Nov.
10Th. The body was brought to Glen
dive to be buried beside that of his
afternoon from the NJ. e. church,
where for five years Rev. Warman was
pastor. Rev. Smith of Livingston, Rev.
5. a. Oliver of Miles City and Rev. H.
A. James of Glendiye delivered ad-
dresses. There was a large represen-
tation from the Masons, under whose
auspices the funeral services were con-
Quoted. Members of the Odd Fellow
and X. of p. lodges, were present to
represent their respective orders and
! pay their last sad rites to him who had
been one of their number. The wealth
of floral offerings testified the high es-
TEEN in which Rev Warman was held
by all.
Truly can it be said of Rev. War
man land he walked with God" His
life Was spent in the accomplishment
of the mission of his blessed Master.
For the fultillment of this purpose. nc
difficulty to him was insurmountable.
no failure defeat, no trouble a care.
His deep rooted faith in true religious
convictions, sustained him in every
