Excerpt from A History of Van Buren County, Michigan, Vol. 2: A Narrative Account of Its Historical Progress, Its People, and Its Principal Interests, IllustratedMr. Warner is a native of Van Buren county and has passed the whole of his life within its borders, except during the period of his military service. He was born on a farm in Almena township on December 14, 1840, and is a son of Rev. Junia and Arminda (merry) Warner, natives of Herkimer county, New York. They came to Michigan and located on the Van Buren county farm in 1835, the place of their son Jerome''s birth. On their arrival in this county they entered three hundred acres of land belonging to the government and on that they made their home and bestowed their labor until the death of the father in 1847. After this event the mother remained on the farm and continued cultivating it and rearing her children to usefulness in life by having them perform their full share of the work in conducting it. She survived him thirty-six years, surrendering her trust at the behest of the Great Disposer of Events in 1883. Nine children were born in the family, three of whom died in infancy and four of the others have since died, the latter being Philura, Elam L., Francis and Mary. The two still living are Jerome C. And his brother Wilbur F., who lives in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Both were educated in the district schools and reared on the farm. Both have also sought other pur suits in life and have won gratifying and well-deserved success in them.Jerome C. Warner remained on the farm until 1864. On Jan uary 1, that year, he enlisted in Company H, Thirteenth Michigan Infantry, as a volunteer to fight for the preservation of the Union. This company was connected with the army corps commanded by General Sherman and he remained in active service until the battle of Bentonville, North Carolina when he was Wounded and removed to a hospital in New York city, where he remained about three months, or until the fall of the Southern Confederacy and the close of the war, being discharged in June, 1865. When he left the army he returned to the farm and conducted its operations for a short time. Finally he sold it and moved to Paw Paw, where for a number of years he was extensively and profitably engaged in merchandising, which business is now carried on by his sons. He now owns one of the largest and most imposing brick business buildings and one of the most attractive and valuable private resi dences in the city. He also owns one hundred and thirty acres of fine farming land, which he has purchased since he became a mer chant and to the cultivation of which he gives his personal atten tion to the extent of.
