General Notes: Husband - James Warne
He was born in William's Port (later Monongahela City), Washington County, Pennsylvania, in a frame house which stood on Main street, opposite the Episcopal church (St. Paul's). There he lived until the age of fourteen, when his parents moved to a farm in the First Ward Monongahela City. He continued to live there until he was thirty-one years of age. He was educated in the common schools of the day. He settled on a farm in Fallowfield township, in the year 1843, where he resided until 1884, then returned to Monongahela City, his former home.
He was a lieutenant in the old Jackson Guards, when a young man, holding his commission under the then governor of Pennsylvania; and throughout his life was actively interested in public matters. By industry and frugality he amassed quite a competency in this world's goods. He owned one of the finest Washington County farms of 235 acres, and also several valuable properties in Monongahela City, and was one of the heaviest taxpayers. Even at the advanced age of eighty years, he laid out and expended in building some $5,000 in 1891, in the place of his nativity and residence. From early life he was a leading member and very liberal supporter of the Methodist Church, and he was for many years a member of the board of trustees. In 1869-70 he was an active member of the building committee for the erection of the handsome church of the Edwards Chapel congregation at Ginger Hill, Washington County.
Although never having enjoyed the advantages of an education himself, he was fully alive to the necessity of an early training and a liberal college education for his children, that they might be prepared to grapple with the advanced ideas and broader civilization of the age. He therefore made it his aim in life to give his children a complete education.
