Mennonite Biblical Seminary President Called Away in Death
DR. A WARKENTIN DIED IN CHICAGO HOSPITAL, SATURDAY, AUGUST 30
A life of outstanding service and achievement came to a close when Dr. A. Warkentin, 62, president of the Mennonite Biblical Seminary in Chicago, died in the Wesley Memorial Hospital there shortly after six o'clock Saturday evening, Aug. 30. He had been a patient at the hospital since submitting to a major operation on July 15.
Dr. Warkentin carried on his work in spite of evident ill health during the past few years. In September, 1943, while serving as associate minister of the First Mennonite church of Newton and as president of the newly organized Mennonite Bible Academy he suffered a stroke which confined him to the sickbed for many months.
