  	"JOHN C. WARFIELD SUCCUMBS TO STROKE OF PARALYSIS RECEIVED LAST WEEK - Death of Popular Elk and Widely Known Business Man A Shock and Surprise To His Friends - An Active Career Closed "John C. Warfield died Monday night at 9 o'clock at the home of his sister, Mrs. Samuel Bennett on Woodland Ave. He had been in ill health for several months and suffered a stroke of paralysis last week. "Mr. Warfield was forty-seven years of age, the son of the late Benjamin Warfield and was a popular and courtly representative of his distinguished ancestry. Mr. Warfield was a man of generous instincts and high sense of honor. He was loyal to his friends, and they loved him for his sincerity, his perfect candor and his ready disposition to accept sacrifice for their welfare. He was a lover of good literature and had a remarkably retentive memory, and in conversation could quote offhand pages of classic dramas, books, poems and speeches. "He is survived by his mother and sister, who were with him during his long illness. His only other sister was Mrs. Samule McChesney of St. Louis, whose death took place three or four years ago. "From 1885 to 1889 Mr. Warfield was deputy postmaster at the Lexington office under W. S. McChesney, and afterwards was bookkeeper for the Lexington Roller Mills until his health failing him, he took a position for a time in the country as paymaster and book-keeper at the Elmerdorf Farm. He was a prominent member of the Lexington Lodge of Elks and many friends will sympathize with his family and their sorrow at his loss. "The funeral services will be held Wednesday afternoon at 4 o'clock at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Bennett on Woodland Avenue, and the burial will be in the Lexington Cemetery. Dean Capers will conduct the services. The pallbearers will be: H. H. Barnes, Charles H. Edge, Thomas W. Moore, J. Will Sayer, A. C. Gutzeit, J. C. McChesney, A. G. Morgan, R. Henry Owings."
