Sharon E. Warner

As printed in 1898

HARON E. WARNER, the enterprising young blacksmith of Manchester, was born in East Liberty, Summit county, Ohio, March 11, 1871, and is of the third generation of the Summit county family bearing his name.

Adam Warner, grandfather of subject and a native of the county, married Elizabeth Reminger, and owned a farm in Coventry township; he was a substantial and highly respected citizen, in politics was a democrat, and with his wife a consistent member of the United Brethren church. His son, Henry R. Warner, the father of subject, was born on the Coventry township farm, on which he lived until twenty'-one years of age, when he began learning the blacksmith's trade. His educational facilities were somewhat limited, but by self-, instruction he mastered the common English branches of learning. He married Miss E. Bower, a daughter of Benjamin and Elizabeth Bower, and this union resulted in the birth of the following children: Aaron E. (subject), Ida E. (wife of William Richard), Homer E., Earl B., Ora B., Lillian M., and Stanley B., all still living to bless the declining years of the parents, who have lived in East Liberty for the past twenty-seven years, where Mr. Warner, by his industry, has secured a comfortable home. In his politics Mr. Warner was a democrat up to the fall of 1896, when he voted for McKinley for president of the United States, believing the republican party to be sound on the questions of tariff and finance. He has reared his family in respectability, and he and wife enjoy the esteem of all who know them.

Aaron E. Warner received a good common-school education, notwithstanding the fact that he began learning his trade with his father at the early age of twelve years, and that he remained with him until two years ago, when he located in Manchester.

April lo, 1895, Mr. Warner married Miss Ella Warner, daughter of J. J. and Sarah (Kreigham) Warner. J. J. Warnerisa citizen of East Liberty and is the owner of a sixty-acre farm, but is beside a dealer in buggies, to which trade he chiefly devotes his attention; in politics he is a democrat, and he and wife are active members of the Evangelical church, and both are greatly respected by their neighbors. The marriage of Aaron E. Warner has been blessed with one child — Grace A. Aaron E. Warner has a good shop and tools — far better than the ordinary run — and is rapidly building up an excellent trade. Beside his shop he owns the lot adjoining, on which he has a neat village cottage, and is altogether a thrifty and prosperous young man. In politics he is a democrat, and during his brief residence in Manchester has gained a host of warm friends.
