Lewis Warren.  Prominent among the many noted farmers and 
stock-raisers of Polk County, Mo., stands the name of the 
above gentleman, who was born in Robinson County, Tenn., 
December 30, 1846, and is the son of Jackson and Winnie (Shaw)
Warren, both natives of Tennessee, the father born in 1816,
and the mother about three years later.  After marriage, the
parents lived in Tennessee until 1851, when they came to Polk
County, Mo., and there made their home.  The father's chief
occupation in life was speculating in land, although he also
carried on farming, and he was a very successful business man.
In politics he was for some time a Whig, but later a Republican.
He was a member of the Methodist Church, as is also the mother,
who is still living.  In their family were four children, two 
sons and two daughters, the youngest of whom is Lewis Warren.
Like the average country boy, he assisted his father in tilling
the soil, and attended the common schools, where he received a
good practical education.  At the age of twenty years, he began
farming for himself, and November 17, 1867, he married Miss 
Nancy Brown, a native of Polk County, Mo., born September 4,
1849, and the daughter of Rev. William Brown.  The fruits of this
union were nine children, six now living: Lavenia, Winnie, Riley,
Lillie, Zula and Opal.  Mr. Warren is a Republican in politics,
is a good farmer, and an honest, upright citizen.  In 1869 he 
moved to the place where he now lives, and where he has 370 acres
of land, all the result of his own labor.
