Warren McClintock

In 1866 he accepted a call to take charge of the High School at Covington, Kentucky ; but not enjoying the climate of that state, he resigned his position after one year. He was then offered the position of Superintendent of Public Schools of London, Ohio, which he accepted in the Fall of 1867, and filled the place with great satisfaction until the time of his death. In the Summer of 1870, while traveling in the East, he had an attack of pneumonia, from which he never fully recovered. Lung troubles were hereditary in his family. In 1871 he went to Wisconsin, hoping that a change of climate would benefit him; and after spending three months there, he returned to London, feeling much better. In the Summer of 1871, his brother James, who had just graduated from Dartmouth, came to his house a consumptive, on his way to Colorado; but not being able to travel further, he remained at Warren's house until he died, which was November 11, 1871.

The care and anxiety for his brother was too much for one in his condition, and probably did much toward shortening his life. He was able to be out until a week before his death, and was only confined to his bed for two days. He sank rapidly, and passed away on February 29, 1872, at London, Ohio, where he was buried temporarily. In 1876 his remains were removed to Hillsboro, New Hampshire, for final interment:

"Among familiar names to rest,
And in the places of his youth.''

He was married December 24, 1868, at Columbus, Ohio, to Miss Augusta Balthes, of London, Ohio, who survives him.

It is certainly most appropriate to add the following tribute to the memory of our beloved classmate, from the pen of his most intimate friend, our classmate Hanson:

By his death, the class of 64 sustains an irreparable loss of one whose promise of usefulness to the world was well attested by his noble qualities of mind and heart; the record of whose career was destined to supply an honored page in the annals of our Alma Mater. Perhaps no one cherished class traditions more than he, realizing that upon the character and achievements of its individual members rested its honor. There is, indeed, no association of our class that does not "breathe gracious memories" of our beloved friend. No worthy tribute can be paid to a life so brief, that does not suggest what he was, rather than what he did. His parents lived upon a farm, where the meagre advantages of a country school for a few months of each year afforded little opportunity to gratify his growing thirst for knowledge; but even here he qualified himself for teaching at the early age of sixteen. His ambition to obtain a collegiate education was not approved, and hence he was obliged to rely mainly upon his own resources, thus acquiring frugal and industrious habits, and becoming imbued with a self-reliant spirit.  Throughout his college course, he maintained a high and uniform grade. He aimed, not to command admiration by eccentric brilliancy, but rather to lay the basis of a culture in keeping with his character, broad, symmetrical, full; reading extensively, and meeting the demands of the course without apparent effort. And there was not lacking evidence of reserve power which, had he been more aggressive or self-asserting, would have given him preeminence. While his abilities under the tests of the recitation-room were recognized by all, to those fortunate enough to know him intimately there were many points in his character of commanding interest, and fascination even. There were no moral defects to mar the nice balancing of gentleness and strength, modesty and courage. There was never wanting a manly purpose; and if he engaged in the recreations of his companions, it was with proper regard for health, or custom, for he had no special fondness for sports. Pure in heart as in life, and respecting the privileges of others, he had none of those frivolous dissipations which often engross the time and constitute too large a share of the social life of the student. The scrupulous integrity with which he discharged every obligation, and the serenity of his disposition, were an inspiration to us, while he won our affections by his imperturbable good nature. He seemed incapable of selfishness or resentment. The placid brow, the tranquil spirit, and steady purpose in the presence of what we term the conflicts of life, revealed a character that insured success in any career. He was too modest to seek preferment, but accepted responsibility presented in the form of duty. Such men are strong, consistent and self-poised. He made no public profession of his religious faith while with us, but was thoughtful, reverent and attentive to sacred things, and it is impossible to believe there was indifference beneath so much outward grace. His lack of demonstrativeness, as in all so constituted, suggests the profounder feeling and deeper spiritual impulses. Such, we may believe, were his experiences, for we learn that when the hour of supreme trial came, he felt himself "prepared to die as well as live."
