ROBERT WARNER. Among the best farmers of section 11, Millington Township,
Tuscola County, is Mr. Warner, who is a native of Canada, and there grew up
through his youth, and removed to Niagara County, N. Y., at the age of fourteen.
Two years later they removed to Genesee County, N. Y., where the father died,
and the mother is now making her home in Arbela Township, Tuscola County. The
father's name was John, and the mother was known in maidenhood as Elizabeth
Plumb. Both of them were natives of the State of New York. The father had gone
to Canada in his early days and lived there for a good many years, but finally
returned to the States. He was a farmer by occupation, and owned property in
Genesee County.

  Our subject came to Tuscola County about the year 1862, and two years later he
was married in Millington Township to Lydia C. Mack, a daughter of Jacob Mack, a
New Yorker, who came to Michigan and settled near Detroit, and afterward came
farther West and settled upon a farm in Tuscola County in 1869.

  The wife of our subject was born in Wayne County, Mich., and has spent her
life in her native State. To her have been born seven children, namely: James
W., Luella, Clarinda, Amanda, Nora and Elma. The eldest child died in infancy,
and the others are still about the home of the parents. Mr. Warner owns forty
acres of fine land, which he has cleared and from which he is bringing rich and
varied crops, and is considered one of the very best farmers in the county. All
that he has gained has been the result of his own efforts since he was
twenty-six years old, as he devoted his time and strength to helping his father
up to that age.

  In his political views Mr. Warner endorses the doctrines which have been
promulgated by the Republican party, but he is not a politician and he has never
sought the honor and emoluments of office. It is sufficient to him that he makes
a success of his farming operations, and that he and his family are useful and
honored in their associations with their neighbors.
