Dr. and Mrs. Wm. A. Warner
Two of the most admired and beloved pioneer citizens of
Armstrong County, Dr. Warner (1864-1934) was a country physician and his wife
Phebe (Kerrick) (1866-1935) was an ardent humanitarian. Natives of Illinois,
they were married in Claude in 1898. During his 35-year practice here, Dr.
Warner made numerous calls by buggy and delivered over 2,000 babies, many in
dug-outs. Affectionately called "The Little Brown Wren" for her busy, cheerful
manner, Mrs. Warner originated women's clubs in the Panhandle and continually
worked to improve rural life. (1969)
