George E. Warner,   for many years a respected and substantial farmer 
of Lynden township, now living in retirement in Clearwater, was born 
in Quebec, Canada, November 16, 1826, son of Joseph and Martha (Cole) 
Warner, the former of whom was a native of Vermont, and devoted his 
life to farming and harness making.  George E. Warner was reared and 
educated in Canada.  In 1860 he left that Dominion, and located in 
Derby line, Vermont, where he worked as a blacksmith for four years.  
It was in 1864 that he came to Minnesota and took a claim in sections 
19 and 20, Lynden township.  He developed and improved this place, and
brought it to a high stage of cultivation.  After nearly four decades 
of busy endeavor, he sold his farm in 1902 and moved to St. Cloud.  
There he remained until 1914, when he took up his residence in 
Clearwater.  He has been an active and progressive man during his 
entire adult years, and is now enjoying the rest, peace and contentment 
which he so richly deserves.  He has taken a deep interest in the affairs 
of Lynden and St. Cloud, and is an active worker in the Old Settler's 
Association.  The Masonic body has also found in him a valuable member.  
He joined originally at Clearwater, but was later debited to St. Cloud, 
Mr. Warner married Sarah Ann Wilcox, who died in 1894, and they had two 
children, Edward G. and Minnie, both now deceased.  Edward G. Married 
Fannie Lock and they have four children.  Two are dead.  Charles H. and 
George H. are married and live at Great Falls, montana.  Minnie married 
John Benton, and the had one child Edna.  She is now Mrs. Dicks on, of 
Coon Rapids.
