Samuel V. Warner
(1859-1942)

 

Samuel Warner

Samuel V. Warner was born on Sept. 12, 1859 in Millersport, Fairfield County, OH, the son of Benjamin and Nancy Jane (Bateson) Warner

As a youth he migrated to Central Illinois with his parents, settling in the farming town of Arcola. 

Samuel did not marry until later in life, when he was age 38. On July 26, 1898, he entered into wedlock with 28-year-old Cynthia May Cox (March 27, 1870-1924), a native of Bloomington, IN and the daughter of John B. and Esther (Griffith) Cox. They were a decade apart in age. 

The couple produced one son, Glenn Harry Warner, who was born in 1899. 

Said the Tuscola Journal, Cynthia "lived in Indiana until August 1876 when she came with her parents to Douglas county. During her young womanhood she taught school and at one time was teacher of the Town Line school."

 

Clara Bell Warner

When the federal census was taken in 1910, Samuel, Cynthia and son Glenn resided together on their farm near Arcola. Also living under their roof was Samuel's 48-year-old, unmarried sister Rebecca Catharine "Kate." They were members of the Christian Church of Kemp.

The 1920 census shows the family unit in Arcola, but Samuel's sister no longer made her home with them. He retired in about 1922, with the couple moving into town. Their final address together was on West Jefferson Street.

Grief blanketed the family when Cynthia passed away at the age of 54 on June 11, 1924. She was laid to rest in the Arcola Township Cemetery. An obituary in the Tuscola Journal said she "had been in ill health for a number of years suffering with heart trouble." Rev. John I. Gunn presided over the funeral rites, conducted in the Warner residence. Among her survivors were sisters Mary Breedlove of Kemp, IL, Eliza Weller of Tuscola, Cora McCarty of Peoria, Mattie Cox of Kemp, Laura McBride of Lisbon, ND and Pearl Newman of Humboldt in addition to one brother Smith Cox of Arcola.

Samuel outlived Cynthia by 18 years. 

He married again, on Aug. 15, 1928, to 58-year-old Clara Bell (Eisele) Shelton (1870-1944). In announcing the happy event, the Journal said they had tied the cord at the county court house, with Judge Harley C. Helm officiating. His son and her daughter Pearl stood as witnesses.

Clara Belle was a native of Miltonville (or "Middletown"), Butler County, OH, and had been married once before to Robert Anderson Shelton. She thus brought four stepdaughters to the new combined family, Pearl Ernest, Lydia Kennedy, Nellie Souders and Lenna Gioglio.

 

The federal census of 1930 shows them together on the family farm.

Samuel and Clara Bell received a visit in September 1942 from his sister Kate and her husband Charles Roberts, having traveled from their new home in Shreveport, LA.  are known to have traveled to Arcola in September 1942 for a visit. On the fateful and tragic day of Oct. 2, 1942, while driving the brother-in-law about town in his Model T Ford, the two elderly men were killed when their vehicle was "struck by a southbound Illinois Central freight train at the Jefferson street crossing here," reported the Decatur Daily Review. 

The car was demolished. The accident occurred after Mr. Warner's car stalled as it was being driven across the crossing. Witnesses said that a warning signal at the crossing was in operation, but that the men's view of the approaching train apparently was obscured by a parked automobile. Mr. Roberts had been in Arcola for several days visiting Mr. and Mrs. Warner.

Arcola Township Cemetery

A coroner's inquest was held at a local funeral home. The remains were laid to rest in Arcola Township Cemetery.

Clara Bell lived for another two years. Burdened with heart problems, she died at home in Arcola on Nov. 18, 1944, when she was 74 years of age. The funeral was led by Rev. Casper Allen, in the Arcola Baptist Church, followed by interment in Arcola Cemetery. Her obituary appeared in the Journal.

Stepdaughter Pearl Shelton married William Ernest/Ernst. Their home was in Arcola in the 1940s.

Stepdaughter Lydia Shelton wed (?) Kennedy. Her dwelling-place in 1944 was in Lowell, IN.

Stepdaughter Nellie Shelton entered into marriage with Souders. The pair moved to Indianapolis.

The matter was pursued with the Illinois Labor Department's Wage and Hour Division which recognized the Hites' claim and arranged a back wages payment plan, which did not come to much fruition. A board member of the International Executive District 12 of the United Mine Workers of America was quoted saying that the Oakland facility "has made a mockery out of the state department of mines and minerals."

Daughter Melba Irene Warner (1944-2022) was born on March 7, 1944 in Arcola, Douglas County, IL. She spent her early years in Oakland, Coles County, IL. Evidence suggests that she may have contracted rheumatic fever at the age of seven which developed into polio. A 2007 article in the Mattoon Journal Gazette said she became sick in the third grade, missed fourth grade, and went back to school in the fifth grade, with her father picking up her homework for her daily. She recalled being treated in an iron lung at a hospital. She was married perhaps eight times. Her first spouse was Richard Taylor ( ? - ? ). They were the parents of Jake Henry Warner Taylor, who sadly died at birth on Feb. 25, 1960. The baby's remains were laid to rest in Roselawn Cemetery in Charleston, IL. By June 1960 that same year, Melba at age 16 obtained a marriage license with 18-year-old Jerry Loughary ( ? - ? ), also of Oakland.

Melba brought legal charges against her spouse for battery in November 1970 when she claimed he had struck her. Tragedy struck on the fateful day of March 16, 1971, when Larry was killed as a passenger "in a two-car accident on Illinois 136 one mile east of Gifford," reported the Journal Gazette. The car's driver, Ray Romine Jr. of Del Ray, FL also lost his life in the crash. Funeral services were conducted locally by Rev. Larry Musick, with the body taken to Kansas, Edgar County, IL for interment in Fairview Cemetery. 

Her fourth husband was John Troutt (1977), with whom she bore a daughter, Regina Keigley. After a divorce, John relocated to Tipton, IN.

After the Coble marriage ended, she tied the knot with Carroll Eugene Price (July 1987) of Charleston. Melba and Carroll divorced in May 1988 as reported in the Journal Gazette. Melba's name again was in the news in March 1989 when she reported a forced entry burglary at her apartment on 1400 18th Street. Her final marriage appears to have been with Larry Dean Oliver (Dec. 1992), also of Charleston. By 1994, as named in the obituary of her brother Robert, she went by the name "Price" and continued doing so as of 2002. In the end, she kept company with Phil Grubb of Charleston. She enjoyed making crafts and paper dolls, and held memberships in the First Christian Church of Charleston and the Eagles aerie in Charleston. In her last years, she was confined to her bed or a couch in her living room, and belonged to the Polio Survivors and Friends support group. On Oct. 9, 2010, she was twice-pictured in a Journal Gazette article about her and heer "post polio syndrome," saying her daughter Trina was her full-time caregiver. She died at the age of 78 in Sarah Bush Lincoln Health Center in Mattoon on July 17, 2022. Her survivors included nine grandchildren, 22 great-grandchildren and two great-great grandchildren. Her remains were laid to rest in Roselawn Cemetery in Charleston, with the name "Price" etched on the face of the marker.

In early manhood, he had served in the U.S. Army, attaining the rank of sergeant, followed by service with the Army National Guard. The pair lived their married life together on Douglas Street in Charleston. Said the Mattoon Journal Gazette, Jerald was an "employee of Trailmobile, and upon its closing, he accepted a position at Country Materials, where he cultivated many friends. He was a proud and private person and a man of routine. He was a planner and it was known that you didn't mess with his routine." In his free time he followed the fortunes of the Chicago Bears football team and NASCAR racing, and he liked to golf, fish and hunt mushrooms.
