WARNOCK -- At Farmington, Iowa, Mary Warnock, whose maiden name was Scott, departed this life January 16, 1900, aged 91 years, 2 months, and 2 days. She was born November 14, 1808, in County Armagh, Ireland. When ten years of age she came to Canada with her father's family, where she grew to womanhood. On July 19, 1833, she was united by marriage to William Warnock, who preceded her to rest 2 years, 11 months, and 4 days, in his ninety-sixth year. Grandma Warnock (the endearing name by which she was known) was the mother of eleven children, eight of whom preceded father and mother to the spirit world; and three -- Robert, Sarah, and Susan -- remain to bear the burden of sorrow that now rests on the home. She was reared in the Presbyterian Church -- being of Scottish descent; -- but in 1837 she with her husband, heard the preaching of Latter Day Saint elders and united with that church. One year later they removed to Caldwell County, Missouri. In 1842 they returned to Canada, and resided there until 1871, when they came to Farmington; here they have since made their home. Sr. Warnock has lived a true Christian life; was a great help to the church, and until the infirmities of advancing age made her virtually a prisoner at home, she was always in attendance at worship. Her home was ever open to the ministry, and she did not forget to help them otherwise. For several years she has been a great sufferer, but has endured it all with extrordinary patience; and in all this has had the faithful care and efficient nursing of her daughter Susan, who supported her in her arms in the last trying ordeal of death. This came to her at the last unhearalded and unanticipated, but found her prepared to go. She had many times said she was "ready and anxious to go, and wuold be glad when it was the Lord's will to call." So when the call was made, she passed painlessly and peacefully to rest. "Precious in the sight of the Lord in the death of his saints." Funeral services at the residence, Elder James McKierman in charge; Elder F. M. Weld, of Lamoni, Iowa, was the speaker. There were present her son, Robert, and daughters Sarah and Susan, and many friends to attest the respect in which Mother Warnock was held. The internment took place in the Farmington cemetery.
