WARNER, farmer, sec. 20, Aetna Tp., was born in Summit Co., Ohio, Sept. 12, 1842. He is a son of Andrew and Laura (Riley) Warner, who were born in New York and died recently in Michigan. When four years old Mr. Warner was taken to the home of an uncle, where he remained until he was 19 years of age, when he returned to his childhood's home. After a brief sojourn there, he set forth with strong determination to make his way in the world, and was variously occupied for several years, when he came to Michigan and found employ in the mills at Grand Rapids for some time. Meanwhile he took advantage of a good opportunity to purchse a farm near that city, on which he located in 1878. After a few years he resolved on making another change, and went to Indiana, where he remained some years, operating summers as an engineer and spending the alternate witers in lumbering. He had, during this time, invested some money in a farm in Aetna Tp., where he took up his residence in 1878. The place contains 120 acres. Mr. Warner was married March 26, 1866, to Etta A., daughter of William and Susan J. (Reed) Hill, a native of Massachusetts, born April 26, 1859. Their children are Frank E., Dora B., Wm. E., Homer R., Harris L., Charles C. and Bertha M. Mr. and Mrs. Warner are members of the M.E. Church. Mr. Warner has been identified with the Republican party since the beginning of his connection with politics. Additional Comments: 1883 Portrait & Bio Album of Mecosta Co.
