M. S. WARREN

The birth of Mr. Warren occured on July 3, 1837, in Somerset, Pulaski, 
Kentucky, being the son of William and Elizabeth Warren, and in his native 
he spent the first eighteen years of his life, being but poorly favored with
school advantages, which lack, however, he has well made up by careful and 
continuous reading since. In 1855 he came to Grundy county, Missouri, and 
there engaged in farming until 1864, when he joined th estream of immigration 
to the pacific coast and with ox teams made the weary and dangerous journey 
from Missouri to his present ranch, consuming six months on the reoad. He 
immediately set himself to the task of development and improvement of his 
western home, and his efforts were soon apparent in the thrifty appearance 
an substantial returns that he received from his land. In 1877 he went to 
Union county and for twenty years he labored and gained success there and 
then he came back to his old homestead and is there now, spending the golden 
years that begin to draw on apace, comfortably established on the land where 
he first broke the sod in the wild scenes of the west. Mr. Warren has passed 
the days of the years of his stay here in most commendable manifestations of
unswerving integrity and real moral worth of the highest type.

The marriage of Mr. Warren and Miss Mary A., daughter of Hiram and Drusilla 
Osborn, and a native of Franklin county, Missouri, was solemnized on 
June 20, 1860, and they have become the parents of the following children:
William; Lora; Leah; Tyra, wife of Pearl Cornell, and living in Union; Hiram.
