Warring, William H., farmer, has made his home on section 13, Chester,
since 1860. At that time he bought the claim of another man to one-fourth
of this section, and entered it as a homestead. He has since added eighty
acres more to his domain. He is an active member of th Methodist Episcopal
church, and is now recording steward of Gillford circuit. He has been
seven years treasurer of his town, and eleven of his school district; has
also been school director, and was town supervisor in 1866-7. That he is
an ardent republican is testified by his three years' service in the Union
army. He enlisted in the fall of 1861 in Co. G, 3d Minn. Inf., and served
in the Western army. Was taken prisoner at Murphreesboro, and spent six
months in prison. At Vicksburg was taken sick and suffered much through
disease. Mr. Warring was born in Albany, New York, September 18, 1830. His
life up to eighteen was passed in the city of his birth, and his father
then removed with his family to Sauk county, Wisconsin. As above related,
Mr. Warring became a citizen of Wabasha county in 1860. He was married
June 19, 1852, to Maria Carpenter, a native of Pennsylvania; her parents,
Jonathan and Cynthia Carpenter, were natives respectively of Massachusetts
and Connecticut. Six children have been given to Mr. and Mrs. Warring,
christened thus: Nathan A., Thomas B., Mary E. (Mrs. H. McLeoud,
Beardsley, Minnesota); Annie (died at eighteen), Hannah V. and Eva, at
home. The family now includes the two children of the eldest son, their
mother having died, named Bertha Z. and Mark A. Mr. Warring's grandfather,
John Warring, was a soldier in the war of 1812. Thomas B., son of the
latter, and father of William H., was one of the pioneers of Wabasha
county. He was born in Connecticut in July, 1803, and married Susannah
Woodsworth of the same nativity; the latter was born December 31, 1804,
and is still able to travel alone, going to and fro between her children
in different states. Four of her sons were in the army, and still survive.
With her husband she took up residence in Gillford in 1856, and dwelt
there till after his death, April 3, 1870. Mr. Warring served as
supervisor of that town. He was an ardent democrat, but voted for Lincoln
at his second election.
