  WARREN, IRA D., was born in Oswegatchie, St. Lawrence County, N.Y., 
April 4, 1802.  He was born again at fifteen years of age in the city 
of Albany, N.Y., when his parents were living at that time.  He at once 
joined the Methodist Episcopal Church and was soon licensed to exhort.  
He served as a supply on Middlefield Circuit, in Otsego County, N.Y.  
(I think this should be Otsego Circuit.  Middlefield was not cut off 
from Otsego until 1835.)  He joined Oneida Conference in 1833, 
receiving deacon's orders in 1836 and elder's orders in 1838.  Revivals 
of great power accompanied his labors.  It is claimed that ten or 
fifteen preachers could be named as part of the fruit of the revival 
which occurred during his labors at North Pitcher.  In 1865 he 
superannuated, and moved to Cortland, where he lived until his death, 
on November 18, 1869, death resulting from cancer of the stomach.
  His pastorates were as follows:  1833-34, Chenango; 1835, Westford; 
1836, Otsego; 1837-38, Sharon; 1839-40, Bainbridge; 1841-42, Otego; 
1843, Chenango; 1844-45, Plymouth; 1846, Pompey; 1847-48, Truxton; 
1849, East Solon; 1850, North Pitcher and Taylor; 1851, North Pitcher; 
1852, Triangle Mission; 1853, Virgil; 1854, transferred from Oneida to 
Wyoming Conference and stationed at Le Raysville; 1855, Le Raysville;
