HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE ARTICLE ON PETER WARNER

Peter Warner, a solid and progressive general farmer and stock-raiser of Branch 
County, resides on section 3, Bethel Township, where he owns 120 acres of fine, 
arable land in a good state of cultivation.  Mr. Warner is a native of the 
Buckeye State, where he was born in Stark County, in 1826, and is the sixth in 
order of birth in a family of ten children born to Adam and Elizabeth (Troxell) 
Warner, natives of Maryland.  The parents removed to Ohio, and settled in Stark 
County at an early day, being among the pioneers of that county.  They remained 
there until 1866, and then came to Michigan and settled in Branch County, 
residing with our subject.  The mother was taken back to Ohio, and died there 
Nov. 14, 1873, at the age of 73 years; the father died Dec. 1, 1879, at the 
ripe old age of almost 85 years.  The paternal grandparents of our subject, 
Adam and Mary Warner, were natives of Maryland, and Grandfather Warner served 
in the war of the Revolution, and also in the War of 1812, but never drew any 
pension for his services.  The maternal grandparents of our subject, Peter and 
Mary Troxell, were also natives of Maryland.

Our subject was united in marriage, Feb. 25, 1850, in the Buckeye State, the 
lady of his choice being Margaret Myers, a native of that State, and the 
seventh in order of birth in a family of nine children born to Daniel and 
Hattie (Cauffman) Myers, natives of the Keystone State.  The parents removed to 
Ohio at an early day, and were among the pioneers of Stark County.  This 
continued to be their home until the decease of the father, which occurred in 
1854; the mother recently died at the age of 96 years.
After their marriage Mr. & Mrs. Warner settled in Ohio, but in 1866 they came 
to Michigan ....

To our subject and his wife there have been born a family of ten children, one 
of whom died in infancy.  The names of the survivors are:  Benjamin Franklin; 
Isaac M. and John A. are twins; William A., Peter Dallas, Mary Ellen, Daniel, 
Harvey and Stella May.  The first three are married and reside in this county.  
Mary E., now Mrs. Hurd, resides in Sherman County, Kansas.  Daniel is also 
married, and now resides in this county, while the rest of the children are at 
home.
