Arthur Charles Warner, 96, died Sunday, May 18, 2003.
He was a farmer and a good steward of the land. He was a talented worker of metal and was particularly proud of the iron railings he designed and crafted for the Claibourne United Methodist Church. A versatile mechanic, he built the first two motorized school buses in the area. He was a member of the Claibourne United Methodist Church, an associate member of the Sun-n-Fun Community Church in Florida and considered the Claibourne Advent Christian Church an important part of the community. He enjoyed his Claibourne community and his winters in Sarasota, Fla. Although he was physically slowed by ill health, he kept his sharp mind and keen wit. His greatest joy was visiting with friends and relatives. He was born July 3, 1906, to the late Elmore and Lina Snedeker Warner and was predeceased by two brothers, Walter and Maurice and a sister, Mary McCafferty. He was married to Ellen Potts Dec. 24, 1931, in Coshocton by the Rev. E.K. Barrs and she died Aug. 19, 1988. He is survived by his daughter, Patt Warner Houk; 10 nieces and nephews and their families; several cousins; and many, many friends. Funeral services will be held at 11 a.m. Wednesday at the Ballinger Funeral home in Richwood. Pastors Joe Rhea and Glenn Decker will officiate and burial will be at the Claibourne Cemetery. Friends may call from 2 to 4 and 7 to 9 p.m. Tuesday. Pallbearers will be his nephews, Ned Potts, Charles Warner, Lee McCafferty, Gary Carrel, Tim Livingston and Joe Howald.
