Milk from the cow went from pails to big very clean milk cans.
In days before refrigeration milk spoilage led to a condition called Summer Complaint
which was an irritation of the bowels from which many children and adults died. There are
no doubt many buried in Warren Union Cemetery because of this. And in the early days th
poor farmers home was the funeral home and there was no funeral director. Also in the
early days most families usually did not have money for gravestones. The result was many
unmarked graves at Warren Union Cemetery.
A family donated a nice granite marker as a memorial to these pioneers and children who
have unmarked graves without cost to the city. Vigilantes stole this granite memorial. It wa
later discovered that they had been directed to do so by 3 officers of the Warren Historical
Society which has 8-12 active members. These people acted on their own without a public
hearing or vote of the membership. The robbery was timed so that the cemetery caretaker
would be at the dedication of a historical plaque elsewhere. They could not come up with
justification why they stole this stone. At a Later public meeting they found nothing wrong
with the stone. It appears that they were going to sell it to a granite buyer but when the whe
the police started investigating they put that stone along with four other new expensivegranite stones they had stolen into storage. What a black eye for our city when a group wh
is supposed to protect our history destroys it.

According to research done by Martha Ruth Burczyk she states
The First Savings Bank was on the west side of Main Street and south of the Frank Peck stor
and the first post office. It was organized in 1902 as a private bank by Charles A. Burr f (a
left with bow tie), who served as president, and Arthur Newberry. It became a state savings
bank in 1908, with capital stock of #20,000. The bank expanded and moved to Charles Burr
property in 1926 where the Warren Hotel used to be. This photograph was taken around
1915. From Images of America Warren by Martha Ruth Burczyk. Note I love this book an
was proud to be asked to write the introduction in this book.
