General Notes: Husband - William Parkison Warne

---

He attended the schools of the home neighborhood until the age of fourteen, when he placed himself under the tutorship of Prof. John C. Messenger, at Hoge's Summit Academy, in Washington County, Pennsylvania. Having obtained a preparatory course at the above institution, and at Allegheny College, at Meadville, Pennsylvania, he then entered Washington and Jefferson College, from which he graduated in 1882, with the degree of Bachelor of Science. In early boyhood he evinced a strong inclination for earnest study, and became an excellent student. After graduating, he returned to the farm and rested from mental labors for two years, then with mind and body renewed, entered the law office of the Hon. Thomas H. Baird, Esq., in Monongahela City, with whom he remained until admitted to legal practice in the county of his birth. During this interval, he was a student in the law department of the University of West Virginia, ranking among the first in his classes. On May 12, 1890, he began the practice of his profession in Monongahela City. He served as editor of the Monongahela Daily Democrat during the Cleveland-Harrison campaign of 1892. He was highly complimented by the press and public on account of his able management and direction of the paper while under his control.
At its annual commencement in June, 1892, the board of trustees and faculty of Washington and Jefferson College conferred the degree of Master of Science upon Mr. Warne. He served as city solicitor of the corporation of Monongahela City during the year 1891. He was an enthusiastic member of the Democratic party, and was a leading member of the Masonic Fraternity.

He attended the local schools until he was fourteen years of age and then entered Hoge's Summit Academy, in Washington County, and later attended Allegheny College, at Meadville, Pennsylvania, subsequently becoming a student at Washington and Jefferson College and graduating with credit from that institution in the Class of 1882. As he had devoted himself very closely to his studies for a considerable period, Mr. Warne practically put aside his books for two years and resided on the home farm. He then went to Monongahela City and there entered upon the study of law in the office of the late Thomas H. Baird, and continued his studies under that distinguished jurist until he was thoroughly prepared for admission to the bar, at the same time pursuing a law course at the University of Virginia. On May 12, 1890, Mr. Warne entered into practice at Monongahela City, where he continued to reside until 1901, when he became a resident of Washington. He has continued in active practice, but has not confined himself entirely to his profession. A Democrat in politics from the time of his majority to the time of President McKinley's first election (1896), since which time he has been a regular and stanch Republican, he early identified himself with public matters and has been a very important factor in shaping the progress made in this section. In 1892 he edited a daily newspaper at Monongahela, served a term there in the city Council, was postmaster and held other prominent offices. He was a stockholder and a director in the First National Bank of Monongahela City, of which he was one of the organizers. He served as mayor of the borough of East Washington. He was identified with all the leading fraternal organizations, many social bodies and, with his wife, was a member of the Second Presbyterian Church. [TCHWWC, 938]

She attended the public schools of her native city, and was graduated in full honors from Kingsbury High School in June, 1886, standing at the head of her class. In 1887-90 she attended the Ohio Wesleyan University, at Delaware, Ohio, but left college at the end of the junior year, on account of poor health, and was not permitted to graduate with her class.
