From Frontier Beginnings to a Final Sacrifice on Titanic
He was born on the 10th of May 1848 in Maine, but he did move west. As a young child, he went with his family to the Oregon Territory.
By his teenage years, he was already working, first with companies like Wells Fargo and then later in banking. In 1869, he founded his own salmon canning business along the Columbia River. It made him a wealthy and respected man.
In 1872, he married Anna Sophia Atkinson, and together they had four children. Their lives seemed settled, he was involved in the church and with education.
By 1912, after decades of work, he and his wife went on a trip to Europe, to celebrate their 40th wedding anniversary. On the night of the 14th of April, everything changed.
When the Titanic hit the iceberg, Warren made sure that Anna made it safely to a lifeboat.
He sadly did not survive, and his body was never identified.
