WARREN, T. J., stoves and tinware, P. O. Shenandoah; born in St. Joseph county, Indiana, September 17, 1847, in which he lived until 17 years of age. He then commenced learning his present trade, an occupation he has since followed. He came to Cass county, Iowa, having previously lived, for a short time each, in Grundy county, Illinois, and Marshall county, Iowa. In 1870 came to Page and located at Shenandoah, while the city was still in its infancy. Has held the offices of recorder and post master in the city of his adoption. Was married December 13, 1870, to Miss Mary Havens, a native of Laporte county, Indiana, by whom he is the father of two children, both deceased. Mr. Warren was educated in Notre Dame University, Indiana. When he came to Shenandoah he had a single cent in his pocket, but has by frugality and industry made himself a fair competence. His generosity is well illustrated in the care he has exercised over his adopted son, Charles Egerly, of Staten Island, New York, whose father starved to death in California, and whose mother is supposed to have been drowned in Charleston river.
