George Wareham Obit:
Fergus County Argus June 7, 1894
Lewistown, MT

George Wareham died May 28th at 1pm at his home on Wolf Creek after a painful illness extending over nearly three years.

He was born Jan. 7, 1821, in Huntington County, PA., where he lived thirty-three years, was married, his wife died leaving five children, three of whom survive.  

In 1854 he moved to town and in April, 1855 he was married to Jane Robbins, and then to them were born ten children, nine of whom are living.  

The family came to Montana in 1875 and to Fort Benton in 1878 and soon located on the Shohkin.  He was one of the first subscribers to the River Press.  In 1885 he settled in Fergus County.  His son Henry, is well known in Lewistown, as he was elected county commissioner last fall. George Wareham was a pioneer in the states of Iowa and Montana, coming to both states in advance of the railroad.  His oldest son was killed in Montana in July, 1878, by the Indians.  

At 18 years of age became a Christian and has ever manifested the Christian spirit in all his relations.  So kind, peaceable and exemplary has his life been that those who knew him longest say that he must have been without an enemy.  His surviving widow, children and grandchildren "rise up to call him blessed."  Everything that medical skill and unremitting care could do was done to alleviate his sufferings.  His wife and children have been ever ready at his bedside day and night to minister to him.

Rev. U.F. Hawk of Lewistown preached a sermon from Rev. 14,13: "Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth; yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors; and their works do follow them."  Kind words were also spoken by Rev.  -- of Great Falls. The surviving wife, children and relatives pared nothing to manifest their appreciation and love for their father and friend.  The largest number of persons ever gathered on Wolf Creek were present to witness the last solemn rites for their friend and brother.  His remains were interred in the family cemetery.  A thoroughly good man, having an intelligent faith and a well grounded hope in the Redeemer of men, has passed from these earthly scenes.  His end was peace DENTON, May 30, 1894.
