Biography of Jesse H. Warner, pages 998/999. History of DeKalb County, Indiana; B. F. Bowen & Company, Inc., Indianapolis, 1914. Among the successful, self-made men of DeKalb county, Indiana, whose efforts and influence have contributed to the material upbuilding and general activity of their respective communities, the gentleman whose name appears above occupies a conspicuous position. In view of the energetic, consistent and successful record he has achieved, it is eminently appropriate that he be given representation in the present work. Jesse Warner was born in August, 1850, near Tiffin, Seneca county, Ohio, and was a son of Daniel and Rebecca (Ransburg) Warner. Daniel Warner was from Hagerstown, Maryland, as was his wife. When Jesse H. Warner was but a child, his parents moved to near McCutcheonville, Seneca county, Ohio, and thence to Jackson township, that county, during the Civil war, and there the father bought a wooden bowl factory. He then moved to Henry county, Ohio, where he and his wife died, the former at the age of ninety-seven years and the latter when about eighty-four years old. Jesse H. Warner was reared on the home farm and lived there until his marriage, in 1877, to Almina Walters, who was born near Weston, Wood county, Ohio, the daughter of Elias and phoebe Jane (Bossard) Walters. When she was five years old her father died and when fifteen years old she suffered the loss of her mother. A few weeks later she went to Henry county, Ohio, and there lived with an aunt until her marriage. After their marriage Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Warner went to farming, but about fourteen years later he engaged in the meat business, running a market at McClure, Ohio, until 1909, when he sold out and moved to Steuben county, this state, where he ran a meat market at Ashley for one year. He then moved to Waterloo and engaged in raising high grade poultry, specializing on Black Minorcas, and also does considerable truck gardening. He is the father of four children, three daughters and a son, namely: Mrs. Maud Ellen, the wife of Horatio Sheldon Hine, and they have one son Sheldon Horatio; Nellie Blanche is the wife of Frank Saltsman, and they have three children, Jacob Warner, Almina Grace and Francis Irene; Arthur Vernon, born April 17, 1883, was married on March 6, 1905, to Almeda W. F. Korn and they have two children, William Arthur and Orlo Clayton Warner. Bessie Doris lives at home with her parents and is employed at the telephone office at Waterloo.
