Eyewitness accounts reported Gertrude Warnick running in and out of a crumbling building, the heat “so intense it blistered paint on buildings across the road,” while rescuing at least one patient from a fire.
A few weeks later, the couple who owned the nursing home testified in a trial about who was at fault. Mrs. Littlefield, one of the owners, claimed Warnick died in her bed and “could have been under the influence of something that night.”
He retired as an insurance adjuster after seeing some of the worst things people face — fires, crashes, death — and knows how easy it is to lose everything.“Ms. Hare, read your article about a headstone for Gertrude,” he wrote on the day the story ran. “If you advise me who to make a money order to and where to mail, I will send $50 toward the cost. I am nobody, and when my call to the other side comes, my instructions are for cremation and dumped in the Gulf.
“People are able to feel their roots, trace their roots that way. People feel part of the community that way.”“It’s not going to go away with the weather.”After her story was told, before her name was etched in stone, Warnick’s name was plastered on a few trolleys. She’s one of several people featured on the Clearwater Jolley Trolley’s Haunted Clearwater Tour.
“It was neat,” said David Barmore, who volunteers with the Dunedin History Museum. ”It made me feel that she’s not forgotten anymore.”
