Death of Ex-Senator Warner.
-----
Hon. Andrew S. Warner died at his resi-
dence in Sandy Creek, Sunday, Dec. 25th.
He has been in failing health for a year or
two back and his death was not altogether
unexpected.
Mr. Warner has filled an honorable place
in the history of Oswego county politics and
business.
He was born in Vernon, Oneida Co., in
1819 and removed to Sandy Creek, Oswego
county, in 1837, where, upon the same farm
down to the present date he has resided.
He was married to Mary E. Green of New
Haven in 1842, by whom he had several
children. His second wife was Miss Chloe
Moore, of Sandy Creek, who survives him.
Mr. Warner early took an active part in
politics, and has been for many years one
of Oswego county's most conspicuous public
men. He represented his district in assem-
bly in 1855 and again in 1856, and was
elected to the state senate and served during
the years 1860 and 1861.
During the war he was elected colonel of
the 147th regiment of N.Y. Volunteers and
went to the front, but resigned after a few
months service on account of his health.
Since the war Col. Warner has continued
to take an active interest in politics, and his
name has several times been prominently
before the public in connection with the of-
fice of representative in congress. He was
an enterprising and good citizen in every
respect and will be missed in the community
in which he so long held a conspicuous
place. He was a brother-in-law of Oswego's
well known citizen, W.H. Golt, and held
the same realtionship to Hon. S.C. Huntington
of Pulaski.
