Newspaper - Lamar Democrat March 11, 1897

Died at his home in this city, at 4 p.m. Thursday, March 5th, of apoplexy, Judge Allen Warden. On the bright sunshiny morning of Sunday March 7th, there was a large gathering of our citizens at the last residence of Judge Warden to pay a last sad tribute to his memory and worth in all the relations of life. He was buried under the auspices of Lamar Lodge 292 A.F. & A.M.; Mt. Olive Commandery of which he was a member, acting as escort when the body was carried from the house to its last resting place in Lake Cemetery. The services at the house were conducted by Rev. Greenlees, who in a very feeling manner referred to the great sorrow which had overtaken Mr. Warden's aged helpmate and his sorrowing children, all of whom were present except his son Frank, of Waukesha, Wisconsin. At the conclusion of Mr. Greenlees remarks, the Masonic Fraternity took charge of the remains and conveyed them to the cemetery where the beautiful and impressive burial ritual by the order was observed. Judge Allen Warden was born in Auburn, New York April 8th, 1821, and was one of five children born to Bucklin and Anna Warden, two sons and three girls. He acquired an academic education while growing to manhood, and after finishing the course of study he left the parental roof in 1842, to seek his fortune in the Northwest; locating in Lafayette county, Wisconsin, he took up a tract of 540 acres of land a few miles west of Madison. Shortly afterwards he turned his attention to merchandising and milling. In 1846, he married Miss Lucinda Miller, a native of Indiana. To them were born seven children, five sons and two daughters, all of whom are living. He was the first presiding judge of Lafayette county and having been elected to the position when but twenty four years of age. In 1849, he removed to Beloit, where he served two terms as postmaster, under Fillmore and Pierce. During the Indian outbreaks in 1845, he raised a company of volunteers and was commissioned captain by Governor Dogge. He served as an elector for Wisconsin when Lincoln was re-elected in 1864 and again as one of the Grant electors in 1868. He was also a member of the signers of the 2nd Constitutional convention of Wisconsin and as one of the signers of present state constitution . In 1875 Mr. Warden became a resident of Barton county, where he resided until his death. He has been a prominent figure in the history of the county since 1875, having filled various positions of trust and responsibility. First as presiding judge; two terms as public Administrator and as mayor of the city of Lamar, in all of which positions he discharged his duties faithfully and honestly. He was a familiar figure on our streets, and to a few persons has it probably been given to have so wide and universally pleasant an acquaintance with the people of the town and county in which he lived. He always had a cheerful word for those with which he associated, and took a lively interest in the public welfare. Of his domestic relations it is not necessary that we speak to those who know many times more about them than we, except the matter should have some recdognition here. What he was as husband and father they alone have the right to indicate, who have known his protection and love. Genial in his disposition, binding to him many a friend, he was affectionate and tender hearted in nature, and his wife, children and grandchildren were his most precious jewels. He was broad in his religious view and sympathies and esteemed all Christians much alike, but was a member of the Congregational Church and earnest believer in the Christian religion. Judge Warden was about the streets Thursday morning in his usual health, chatting pleasantly with friends and acquaintances. At noon he went home and ate a hearty dinner, and returned to the square about 2 o'clock to send a telegram to Gay Bonney, informing him of the illness of Mrs. Bonney. He returned home immediately afterward, laid down on a lounge and complained of feeling badly. His wife prevailed upon him to go to bed and shortly after doing so his spirit took flight to the mystic shore. His death was calm and painless, just such an ending of life's fitful dream as he had hoped for. He was a good true man in all the walks of his life, and will be missed by none more - aside from his aged wife and children - than the Masonic bodies in this city. He had been a faithful in the observance of all Masonic tenets, and when the angle of death recorded the dread mandate that struck him from the rolls of the living, he was ready to render an account of the deeds done in the body.

March 11, 1897 J.M.Warden, who came here from Denver to attend his father's funeral will return today to resume his duties as a member of the Colorado legislature.
