Patrick left the family after Ellen's death from typhoid and hismarriage to 2d wife, and the family members lost contact. Ellenor"Nellie", is reported to have been sent to live with Butler grandparents (b2) at an early age and never returned home.

He is listed ina census with Philip at a lumber camp as a school boy of 15 in WA state.I think it was probably a cousin of the Warnock family that was living inWI or MN at that time an d visiting WA and working. No proof. No oneknows what happened to Patrick and my dad really spent a lot of timelooking for him. Dorothy ===================================== .

In 1873, I was teaching in the township of Horton, in a littleschool-house on the bank of Chats Lake, more than a mile west ofBonnechere Point. In the previous year of 1872, the Canada Central Railway had pushedon to Renfrew and operated between that point and Ottawa. Several stagelines were projected from Renfrew South and West. One to Eganville byMcNamara, of that village, an d in charge of the genial George Jeffrey. A little flag station was built at the crossing of the road toLochwinnoch, and named Castleford. In early spring I required to visit my home at Lake Dore, gettingtwo days leave of absence. I boarded the evening train for Renfrew andput up at the Exchange Hotel, kept by John Smith. Here the stage andpassengers assembled in the morning , two men in the rear seat, one ofwhom was the irrepressible Jack Armstrong, the proprietor of the mostpopular hotel in Eganville, and the other was a clerical lookinggentleman. I learned later he was a Plymouth Brother from Carleton Plac eby name McLaren, en route to Golden Lake to look up Beethoven there. Alittle woman just from Scotland, in another seat on her way to Douglascompleted the party. Now Jack Armstrong and George Jeffrey were long acquainted butpretended to be strangers to each other. Jack posing as a clergyman anddemanding his passage at half fare. George would grant him the favour ifhe was satisfied of his standing , but he had his doubts. George saidthat hed put the little lady in my charge and I should see that she hadfull comfort of the rug provided, as the day was chilly, and she waslightly clad. We had not gone far till George challenged Jack to show hiscredentials. Jack began with some scripture but the Plymouth Brother,evidently well versed checked him up at once, so Jack failed in severalattempts, but George and I enjoyed th e joke and even had a pleasanttrip. The little Scotch woman alighted at Douglas, where friends met her. I walked four miles to home and shortly learned I must go toPembroke, had to retrace my steps to the village and take the littlestage for Pembroke, driven by a very tall man by name, Bromley, wearinglong, red stockings over his pant s up to the knees. Which made his limbsseem longer. He was rather reticent. This was a quiet trip. My business in town completed, I thought of returning to my boardinghouse, the Castleford Hotel kept by JOHN WARNOCK who was also postmaster. The Harvey Bros. Ran stages between here and Renfrew, one remainingat each place. I had been instructed I should procure a ticket, as the drivers wereknown to have charged excess on those who had not secured tickets, so Iwent to the Copeland and saw Mr. Harvey. He said his brother had all thetickets, but the fare was tw o dollars, and a start was made at fouroclock, and he would call for me at Halpennys. Some time after I gotaboard and turning out on Main Street, two men climbed in, beyond thebridge a lady was taken on, and away we went. Just after dayligh t wherea farm yard was at the roadside and sheep were lying on the track, we didnot clear in time and two wheels on the left side ran over one. I lookedback and saw it lie there. After sunrise we saw a bunch of turkeys all inmotion, one of th e men remarked the turkeys are dancing a set. Arriving at PAT WARNOCKS stopping place in Ross a halt was made, alate breakfast was taken, and the team was fed. When the meal was overthe driver called for fares. The other two men were called on before Iwas, and paid $2.50 each, nex t to me. I had two dollars ready and handedit out. He said, Fifty cents more. I said, No. I went to Mr. Harvey andhe had no tickets, but the fare was two dollars. He sore and denouncedHarvey for the mean trick on him, telling him to charg e $2.50 andoffering tickets for $2.00. He returned fifty cents each to the men andwe started away. Soon after, two ladies were taken up, and beforereaching Renfrew, the little team began to show signs of fagging, theroads were heavy and at on e elevation we men were invited to walk up theascent. Renfrew at last, and in time for the train to Castleford, met theother Mr. Harvey, and he thinking that I was travelling the other way,asked if I wanted a ticket for Pembroke. I have wondered since whatexpression was on my face, for I fel t tired and glad to get off hisstage. In due time I arrived at my boarding house, and thus ended thismemorable stage journey. Later, I travelled several times over to Eganville, and was alwayspleased to meet George Jeffrey. Lynns notes-copied as found in the book. I took the liberty ofcapitalizing all of the letters in the names of the two Warnocksmentioned. Today, the trip from Castleford, to Renfrew, to Eganville,then on to Pembroke would take less than an ho urs drive by car. I wonder if the fare included breakfast at Patricks? pkf Lynn MARTIN =============== Patrick not in the 1885 Minnesota Territorial census. Catherine described as a widow. Serena's naturalization papers say that the family came to Minnesota in 1881 by GTR train
