he removed to Michigan, settling at Mt. Clemens, where he first found
employment at his trade and later engaged in the lumber manufacturing business, erecting one of the first saw mills in Michigan. In the
summer of 1853 he formed a partnership with Loton H. Eastman,
then of Mt. Clemens, and removing to Saginaw they established a
foundry on the site of the present A. F. Bartlett & Co. plant. This
partnership of Warner & Eastman has never been dissolved, although
the junior partner passed to the other shore several years ago. In
1859 they erected a saw mill, long known as the "Copeland" mill,
which subsequently burned, and in 1869 the firm purchased the interest of George C. Warner & Co., in the more extensive plant, and this
was operated until destroyed by fire in January.
Mr. Warner was twice married, first to Clarissa D. Barrett, of Brattleboro, Vt., who died in 1862. The fruit of this union was five
children, of whom Mrs. W. H. Downs and Mrs. Ward Mansfield
survive. In 1868 he was united in marriage to Elizabeth Eldred. To
them two children were born, both of whom are dead. Mrs. Warner
survives her husband.
Aside from his business Mr. Warner has led a comparatively quiet
life. The only public office he ever held' was as alderman from the
second ward in 1860. He was identified with the founding of the
First Congregational Society in 1856, and has been a faithful member
of and an officer in that church since. He has also been connected
with the First National bank as stockholder and director many years.
