    • "MRS. WARFIELD DIES - PROMINENT LEXINGTON WOMAN CAME HERE AS A BRIDE - WAS LEADER IN WORK OF CHRIST CHURCH CATHEDRAL

      "Mrs. Clara Virginia Warfield, 86, widow of Benjamin Warfield, died Thursday afternoon at 4:40 o'clock at her apartment, 437 West Second Street, after a long illness due to the infirmities of age.

      "Mrs. Warfield was before her marriage, Miss Clara Cochrane, the daughter of John O. and Mary Winston Cochrane of Virginia. Her childhood and girlhood were spent in Virginia and Louisville, where her marriage took place. A representative of families of renown in Virginia and Kentucky, Mrs. Warfield's beautiful life and character had endeared her to all who had known her since she came to Lexington as a bride. Her literary ability, her broad culture, and gentleness, and the remarkable alertness which endured in her old age brought to her many friends for counsel and enlightenment. She was a member of Christ Church Cathedral, and throughout her life in Lexington was interested in the work of the church.

      "Mrs. Warfield is survived by her daughter, Mrs. Mary Warfield Bennett of Lexington,; three granddaughters, Mrs. Allen Ashbrock of Washington, D. C., Mrs. William Shelby of Mexico and Mrs. J. C. Weiman of Minneapolis; three grandsons, Benjamin W. Bennett of Brooklyn, N. Y., Dudley W. Bennett of Shreveport, La., and Samuel Parker McChesney of St. Louis; a niece, Miss Clara Cochrane and a cousin, Mrs. Shelby Kinkead of this City.

      "Mrs. Ashbrook arrived this morning to be with her mother; Mrs. Bennett, and Mr. McChesney and Benjamin Bennett are expected to be here for the funeral.

      "The funeral services will take place at Christ Church Cathedral, Saturday afternoon at 3 o'clock, Rev. R. K. Massie officiating. The pallbearers will be J. W. Sayre, A. A. Bowman, M. S. Richardson, Robert Massie, Warfield Kinkead and Esten Spears."
