James Shannon Warwick

He was attending McCallie School in Chattanooga, TN and in his senior year he developed strep throat.The treatment for that should have been Penicillin. However they painted his throat with methiolate. Eventually (about a month later )The strep germ went to his kidneys.It took them a while to diagnose, but when they did they sent him home. He was sick and ended up taking his freshman year at Palm Beach Junior College. He then seemed well enough to go to Vanderbilt and graduated in 1955. He was in theological school at Emory Univ. However his kidneys began to fail (no dialysis or transplants in 1955). He died from kidney failure March 26, 1956. He was 23 years old. Because he had become a Christian and led such a life of service to others, his life impacted many others. There is a chapel in his memory at Emory University Hospital. One of the stained glass windows in the chapel is dedicated in memory of Alice Amanda Shannon Warwick, his grandmother.
