HARRY R. WARING.

	Harry R. Waring is the proprietor of the Fort Lupton Press, 
published at Fort Lupton, Weld county, where he has resided since 1913. 
He has almost continuously, however, been identified with printing 
Interests in the state since 1891. He was born in Leon, Iowa, on the 
17th of July, 1871, a son of Jonathan and Amanda (Schaeffer) Waring, 
who were natives of Bloomington, Illinois, and of Bonaparte, Iowa, 
respectively. The father served as an express messenger in the early 
days, when such trips were made on horseback, and he also engaged in 
dealing in horses. He went to Iowa at a very early period in its 
development, when a youth of fifteen years, and located at Leon. He 
also spent a year in Leavenworth, Kansas, in an early day, after which 
he resided in Iowa until 1889 and for an extended period was there 
engaged in farming. Colorado witnessed his arrival in 1889, at which 
time he took up his abode in what was then Bent but is now Baca county, 
where he secured a preemption claim. With characteristic energy he 
began the improvement and development of the place, which he cultivated 
for two years, when his health failed, after which he made his home 
with his son. Harry R., spending his remaining days in Denver. He died 
April 10, 1897, and his widow passed away May 23, 1915.

	Harry R. Waring was reared and educated in Leon, Iowa, to the age 
of eighteen years, when he came with his parents to Colorado and took 
up the printer's trade, which he had previously followed for two years 
in his native state. He completed his apprenticeship to the trade, 
however, in Colorado and for a year and a half worked in Longmont on 
the Longmont Times. In 1890 he went to Denver, where he engaged in the 
printing business in the employ of others until 1894. He afterward 
spent ten months at Cripple Creek, but returned to Denver, where he 
continued until 1896 and then made his way to San Francisco, 
California, where he resided for a short time. He later again spent a 
few months in Denver and once more went to Cripple Creek, where he 
worked from 1897 until 1903. Again he was identified with printing 
interests in Denver, being employed on Denver papers until 1908, when 
he removed to Pierce and established the Pierce Record, which he 
continuously published until 1913, when he removed his plant to Fort 
Lupton with the intention of starting another paper, but changed his 
plans and consolidated his interests with those of the Fort Lupton 
Press in partnership with W. G. Hubbell. This association was 
maintained until April 6, 1917, when Mr. Waring purchased the interest 
of his partner and is now sole proprietor of the Fort Lupton Press, 
which has a circulation of six hundred. He has a splendidly improved 
plant, which includes a linotype machine and everything for turning out 
excellent newspaper and job work.

	 On the 14th of April, 1898, Mr. Waring was married to Miss Emma 
A. Spencer and they have become the parents of four children, but the 
first born, Margot O., who was born in January, 1900, died in April of 
the same year. Those surviving are: Helen M., who was born August 15, 
1901; Robert H., born December 17, 1902; and Marion V., born October 
23, 1906.

	 Mr. and Mrs. Waring hold membership in the Episcopal church. He 
is also a member of the Masonic fraternity and in his life exemplifies 
the beneficent spirit and purposes of the craft. His political 
allegiance is given to the republican party and he is now occupying the 
position of town clerk. He stands for advancement and improvement in 
all things relating to the general welfare and to the advancement of 
county, commonwealth and country.
