Curtis S. Warren
born Apr 26, 1853

C. S. Warren, a farmer of Garfield township, section 17, was born in Whiteside County, Illinois, near Erie, April 26, 1853, a son of Lyman Warren, a native of New York. The latter’s father, Russel Warren, was a soldier in the war of 1812. The mother of our subject, nee Sarah Palmer, is a daughter of Wilkinson Palmer, a native of Canada, but now a resident of Battle Creek, Iowa. Mr. and Mrs. Warren were the parents of nine children. The father was a farmer by occupation, and was a Steward in the United Brethren Church.
C. S. Warren, the subject of this sketch, was reared in Whiteside county, Illinois. In 1878 he settled on wild land in Garfield township, Ida county, Iowa, which he improved, and now owns 240 acres of fine land. He has a good one and a half story residence, 14 x 20 feet; a good barn, 16 x 32 feet; a windmill, stock scales, and other necessary farm improvements. In his political views he votes with the Republican party, and religiously both he and his wife are members of the Methodist Episcopal Church at Danbury, of which he is a Superintendent of a Sunday-school on the Danbury circuit.
Mr. Warren was married in 1875 to Miss Olive Copeland, who was born near Genesco, Henry County, Illinois, but educated in Sioux City, Iowa. She was a successful teacher in Ida and Woodbury counties, Iowa, before her marriage. Her father, Azrow Copeland, died in 1889. He was a farmer by occupation, a Republican in his political views, and a member of the Methodist Church. During the late war he was a member of the Eighty-ninth Illinois Volunteer Infantry, and was wounded at Chickamauga, from the results of which he finally died. The mother of Mrs. Warren now resides at Mapleton, Monona county, Iowa. Mr. and Mrs. Copeland reared a family of eight children, three sons and five daughters, only two of the latter attaining womanhood. Mr. and Mrs. Warren are the parents of six children: Edith May, Perry F., Jesse C., Willis C., Walter M.; and Minard, deceased in infancy. Mr. Warren is an active and earnest worker in Garfield township, Ida county.
