Another charter member of the
Minnesota Valley Medical society
has passed away, DR.. Charles Fow-
Ter Warner. He was born Aug.
80, 1880, and died July "a, 1909.
Was educated at the WESLEYAN
seminary of Lima, New York,
after which he entered jefferson
Medical College, graduating in
1854, Immediately commencing the
practice of his profession at
Nunda, New York, where he con-
tinued until he came to Mankato
in 1869, save that during the war,
he served as assistant surgeon of
the both New York Volunteers.
During his forty years OF pro-
fessional work here. he stooc
among the most eminent surgeons
and physicians of southern Min
nesota, and the last twenty years
of his life, he was the local sur
geon of the three principal rail
roads entering the city of Man
kato.
He was member of the Ameri-
can Medical association, of the In
terstate Railway Surgeons associa-
ton, was one of the founders of
the Minnesota Valley Medical So
ciety, and was ever one of its
most active members.
In the early days of Mankato,
three physicians located there and
engaged in the practice of medicine
about the same time; the late
DR.. Charles Fowler Warner was
one of them. During a. long series
of years they were brought into
intimate contact: : frequently in
consultation and always ready to
attend each others patients;
therefore, during such an ac-
quaintance and friendship for
forty years he was thoroughly
known and appreciated by his CO.
workers.
He was a man of strong per-
sonalities and had hosts of strong
and lasting friends; he was thor
ough and caretaking in his ex-
animation of patients, and one of
the best diagnosticians in this
part of the state.
He continued in active prac-
tice until within a few days of
the time of his death. He built a
monument more durable than mar
bic.
DIR. Warner was married in June,
1854. to Miss Esther S. Town of
Nunda, New York.
We mourn his loss.
