with his older brother Lyman to La Pointe, and entered into the fur trade in the
service of Cadotte, Michel.  In 1821, each of the brothers married a daughter
of Cadotte, and in 1823, the latter sould out all his trading outfit to them,
and retired from the business.  Truman Warren did not live long after that.
He died on board a vessel on Lake Superior in 1825, from pneumonia, resulting
from the hardship and exposure incident to a trader's life.

Notes for William de WARREN

!Sour: "New York," p. 679-80, William was a kinsman of William the Conqueror,
and was in command at the battle of Hastings.  As a reward of his valor, he was
made earl by William, and granted a large estate in lands.  He selected a site
for his castle on an eminence near the village of Lewes, in Sussex.  He erected
a cluniac priory, or convent, in the town of Lewes, and he and his wife were
buried in the priory, side by side, and in 1845, when laborers were excavating
through the site for the purpose of building a railroad, their remains were
discovered, each enclosed in a leaden box or coffin, and surrounded with rock
pebbles of a small size.  On one of thes boxes was the name "william," and on
the other the name "Gundreda," both perfectly legible, although they had lain
buried for more than eight
centuries.

!GENEALOGY_COMPILED_BY_VIRGINIA_ROGERS: [Virginia Rogers, Warren family
genealogy sheets, 1992 manuscript], after "History of Nay tah waush," in 1886,
Mr. Tyler Warren (after dissolving his partnership with a Wild West Show which
travelled all over the states, and with headqurters in Philadelphia), built
the first frame house in this area.  It was on the east shore of the north
lake.  He became a government surveyor and timber estimator.  He was also the
first grain farmer doing with a cradle and threshed by hand.  The ground on
which the baseball diamond and school now stand was cultivated by him with the
use of oxen.   ... It was mostly the Mille Lacs removals who settled in the
Twin Lakes area.  They were housed in two large log houses.  One was built
near the Warren's home, and the outer house was built near the present Norway
Tree Plantation -- bout two hundred stems north of the northeast end -- by the
old Beaulieu Trail.  Here, too, the land marks can be plainly seen.  This
group of removals 'were in primitive society; their recreation was squaw
dancing, war dancing, LaCross game, and, annually, the Grand Medicine
Ceremony.'  This was usually held during the spring or summer, and the Indians
would camp out for ten or fifteen days.  The last Grand Medicine Ceremony was
held here in 1919.  The two log houses were gradually vacated as the occupants
went to live on their allotments.  Mr. Warren used the log house near him for
a blacksmith shop.  This is on the southwest corner of the school ground and
often some metal, iron, and horseshoe nails are
unearthed."

Notes for William Whipple WARREN

!GENEALOGY: Minnesota Historical Society, R.J. Powell Papers, Microf. M-455,
Roll 10/0295, Powell Genealogies, family #67:1*, "dead"

!LCCN:E99.C6W32 (1984 Reprint), "History of the Ojibway People," p.12-20], born
at La Pointe, Wisconsin.  In his very earliest childhood, he learned to talk the
Ojibway language, from playing with the Indian children.  His father took
every means to give him a good English education.  Rev. Mr. Boutwell says, 'In
the winter of 1832, he was a pupil at my Indian School at La Pointe.'  He
subsequently attended, for awhile, the mission school at Mackinaw, when he was
only eight years old.  In the summer of 1836, his grandfather, Lyman Warren
of New York, visited La Pointe, and on his return home took William with him
to Clarkson, New York, where he attended school for two years, and afterwards,
from 1838 to 1841, attended the Oneida Institute at Whitesborough, near Utica,
a school then in charge of Rev. Beriah Green, a man noted for his anti-slavery
views.  William remained there until 1841, when he was sixteen years of age,
and acquired a good scholastic training.  He was then, and always
subsequently, greatly devoted to reading, and read everything which he could
get, with avidity.  'While at school' (says one who knew him well) 'he was
greatly beloved for his amiable disposition, and genial, happy manners.  He
was always full of life, cheerfulness, and sociability, and insensibly
attracted all who associated with him.'
   During his absence from home, he had, by disuse, forgotten some of the
Ojibway tongue, but soon became again familiar with it, and acquired a
remarkable command of it.  Speaking it fluently, and being connected with
influential families of the tribe, he was always a welcome and petted guest
at their lodge-fire circles, and it was here that his taste and fondness for
the legends and traditions of the Ojibways were fostered.  He speaks in his
work of his love for the 'lodge stories and legends of my Indian grand-
fathers, around whose lodge-fires I have passed many a winter evening,
listening with parted lips and open ears to their interesting and most
forcibly told tales.'  He was fond, too, of telling the Indians stories which
he had learned in his reading, and would for hours translate to them
narratives from the Bible, and Arabian Nights, fairy stories, and other tales
calculated to interest them.  In return for this, they would narrate the
legends of their race, and thus he obtained those traditions which he has,
with such skill, woven into his book. ...
   His familiarity with the Ojibway tongue, and his popularity with that
people, probably led him to adopt the profession of interpreter.  When Rev.
Alfred Brunson visited the Indians at La Pointe in the winter of 1842-3, on
an embassy from the government, he selected young Warren, then seventeen years
of age, as interpreter, and found him very ready and skillful.  Hon. Henry M.
Rice writes: 'In the treaty of Fond du Lac, made by Gen. Isaac Verplank and
myself in 1847, William was our interpreter.  He was one of the most eloquent
and fluent speakers I ever heard.  The Indians said he understood their
language better than themselves.
   During the summer of 1842, in his eighteenth year, Mr. Warren was married
to Miss Matilda Aitkin.  It was during his internship under I.P. Hayes in
1844-45, his relatives say, that his health began to fail.  Frequent
exposures, long and severe winter expeditions, connected with the Indian
Service at that time, brought on those lung troubles, which subsequently ended
his life so prematurely, after several years of suffering.
   Warren came to what is now Minnesota, with his family, in the fall of 1845,
first living at Crow Wing and Gull Lake, where he was employed as a farmer and
interpreter, by Major J.E. Fletcher, Winnebago agent, then also in charge of
the Mississippi Ojibways.  He was also employed as an interpreter in the
attempted removal of the Lake Superior Indians under J.S. Watrous -- an act
which he did not, however, approve of.  After a year or two he established a
home at Two Rivers, now in Morrison Co.  In the fall of 1850, he was nominated
and elected as a member of the Legislature from the district in which he lived
-- a district embracing more than one-half of the present area of the State.
In JAN following (1851), he appeared in St. Paul, and took his seat as a
member of the House of Representatives.  UP to this time he had been quite
unknown to the public men and pioneers of the Territory, but by his engaging
manners, and frank, candid disposition, soon won a large circle of friends.
   With the encouragement and mentorship of Col. D.A. Robertson, founder of
the Minnesota Democrat, a newspaper in St. Paul, Warren began writing, first
columns for the newspaper, and then a book.
   Mrs. Warren's widow, now Mrs. Fontaine of White Earth, states that once he
had set about writing his projected book, he pursued his work with an ardor
that rapidly undermined his already feeble health.  He read, studied, and
wrote early and late, whenever his official duties or absence from home did
not prevent, and even when suffering from pain and debility.  During this
period, a correspondent of The Minnesota Democrat, who visited Mr. Warren,
writes thus under date of MAR 17, 1852:
   'I write you from a most lovely spot, the residence of my friend, Hon. W.w.
Warren.  Mr. Warren's house stands directly opposite the mouths of the two
small rivers which empty into the Mississippi on the western side, a short
distance apart, and hence the name, 'Two Rivers.'  Opposite this point, in the
river, is an island of great beauty of appearance.  Near by are countless
sugar trees from which, last spring, Mr. Warren manufactured upwards of one
thousand pounds of fine sugar.  During my short sojourn here, I have been the
attentive listener to many legendary traditions connected with the Chippewa,
which Mr. Warren has, at my request, been kind enough to relate. ...'
   Much interest was felt at this period among Mr. Warren's personal friends,
especially among such as had devoted any attention to the study of the Indian
races, regarding his proposed publication, and he had the good wishes of all
who knew him for its success, as well as their sympathies on account of his
health and his pecuniary straits.  In the preparation of his book, also (and
he mentions this fact in his preface), he was much embarrassed for want of the
works of other authors to refer to, for there were no public libraries in
Minnesota at that time, while his lack of means prevented him from purchasing
the desired books himself.  It is gratifying to be able to state, however,
that some of his friends who felt an interest in him and his proposed work,
generously aided him at this juncture.  Among these should be prominently
mentioned Hon. Henry M. Rice, to whose liberal help is probably owing the
completion of the work, and into whose hands it subsequently passed, to be by
him ultimately donated to this Society [the Minnesota Historical Society].
   In the winter of 1852-3, Mr. Warren completed his manuscript, and in the
latter part of the winter, proceeded to New York, in hopes of getting the work
published there.  He had also another object, to secure medical treatment for
his rapidly failing health.  In both objects he was doomed to disappointment.
The physicians whom he consulted, failed to give him any relief, or but little
encouragements, while the publishers to whom he applied would only agree to
issue his work on the payment by him of a considerable sum.  Believing that
some of his friends in Minnesota, who had always expressed such an interest
in the work, might advance such aid, Mr. Warren resolved to return home and
lay the came before them.  There is little doubt that had he lived to do so,
he would have promptly secured the means required.  He reached St. Paul on his
way home, in the latter part of MAY, 1853, very much exhausted.  He went to
the residence of his sister Charlotte (Mrs. E.B. Price) and was intending to
start for Two Rivers on the morning of JUN 1.  Early on in the morning of that
day, however, he was attacked with a violent hemorrhage, and in a short time
expired.  His funeral took place the following day, Rev. E.D. Neill
officiating, and the remains were laid to rest in the cemetery at St. Paul. ...
   Of the children born to Mr. Warren and his wife, two survive, a son,
William Tyler Warren, and a daughter, Mrs. Madeline Uran, both residing on the
White Earth Reservation.
   He was a firm believer in the truths of the Christian faith, and was a
regular and interested student of the sacred Scriptures.  He was accustomed,
in his intercourse with the Indians, to enjoin upon them the duty and
advantage of accepting the religion taught them by the missionaries, and it
is believed that his advice had good effect upon them.
