ows: 'Dr- Warner was among the |
most prominent of our winter resi-
tents. He had built a beautiful home |
n Surnmerville called Magnolia Villa |
where he and his family had spent |
the winters for about ten years. He |
had endeared himself to a large circle |
II friends who are greatly grieved at |
lis death. and who mourn in sympa-
shy with his bereaved family. DR.
Warner was among the first to recog-
lize the availability of Augusta and |
Summerville as a winter resort. He
was devoted to his home here, and |
ound rest and recreation in the out
1oor exercise and in association with |
he many devoted friends he had gath
.red around him. No member of our
winter colony was more cordially be-
owed or welcomed than he. His gen

genial disposition endeared him to all |
who came in the circle of his friend
ship, and his death removes a. promi-
lent and beloved member of our com
nunity. The entire community offers

sympathy in this sad time of their
