Warren, Henry C. (accidentally killed - 15 Sept 1914)

M.P. Cannon of Merrillan received a telegram Tuesday from Windom, Minn., stating that Henry C. Warren had been accidentally shot and killed that morning while out hunting.  Mr. Cannon went to Windom that night to be in attendance at the funeral which was held yesterday.

No further particulars had been received at Merrillan this morning, but a paper received here today states he was shot by a companion who was shooting at a wounded bird which had taken flight, the charge hitting Mr. Warren in one eye and breast and shoulder.  He was taken to a hospital and it was thought that he would live, but when he was sitting up in bed he suddenly fell back and expired, probably caused from a weak heart.

Mr. Warren resided many years in Merrillan, being a long time the foreman of the Wisconsin Leader office, and later for several years publisher of that paper, under a lease from R.H. Gile.

He is probably upwards of fifty years of age and leaves his wife and two sons.  For a few years back he has been in partnership with his brother in publishing a paper at Windom.

He was a good printer and a man of integrity, energy, ability and popularity, and his untimely and tragic death will be regretted by numerous friends here.
