George John Warren (deceased) came to Eau Claire in 1875, and formed a partnership with his brother-in-law, George W. Stone, in the meat market business on the west side, and continued the partnership there for four years, when they dissolved partnership, and Mr. Warren continued the business alone for the last three or four years of his life. He was born in Chard, England, April 14, 1856, and died at Eau Claire, March 16, 1891. His father and mother were both of English descent and died early in life. The former was a man of prominence and worth in his business, and our subject learned his trade under his tuition in England. Mrs. Warren has continued the business at the same place, and has had the entire management of it since her husband's death. She was married to Mr. Warren, September 27, 1882, and they had three children: Ethel Maria, born July 30, 1883; Anna Elizabeth, November 27, 1887, and George Stone, August 4, 1890. Mrs. Warren's name is Amelia Ann, and she is a native of St. Thomas, Ontario, Canada. Her parents were Kendall Parish and Mariah (Goodhue) Stone. Her father was born in Jefferson county, N. Y., in 1811 and died at the age of fifty-three years. Mariah Goodhue's ancestors were of English descent, came over to this country in the early colonial times, and participated in the Revolutionary war. She was born in Kent, near London, September 16, 1826, and is the daughter of Benjamin Goodhue and Nancy (Wood) Stone. When Mrs. Warren was eight years old her parents immigrated to Eau Claire and have lived here since 1856. Her father was captain of a United States gunboat on the Mississippi river, during the Civil war, and was captain of the boat "Flora Temple," and also built bridges and piers both on the Eau Claire and Chippewa rivers. He went south on account of his health and died in 1871 at Dallas, Tex. Mr. Warren was an honored member of the I. O. O. F. of Eau Claire and also of the Royal Arcanum. He was reared under the influence of the Church of England, but after coming to Eau Claire united with the Congregational church. In his political views he always affiliated with the democratic party, and was a firm believer in the principles laid down by that party. During his entire business career he was reckoned as one of the influential and upright business men of Eau Claire. -Transcribed from the "Historical and Biographical Album of the Chippewa Valley Wisconsin, 1891-2," page 783 © All rights reserved. http://www.usgwarchives.net/copyright.htm
