JACOB WARNER an enterprising farmer of Monroe Township, Harrison County, is a native of the same, born March 13, 1832, and is the second child and eldest son of Isaac and Tina Weyandt Warner, who were among the early pioneers. He grew to manhood with his parents on the farm, wore home made clothing, and walked two miles to a subscription school which was held in a log school house, having slab benches, puncheon floor, and other primitive furnishings. On January 7, 1862, he married Elizabeth Crumrine, a daughter of Henry and Mary Crumrine, and they began farming in Monroe Township. In May, 1864, Mr Warner enlisted in Company B, One Hundred and Seventieth O.N.G., was taken sick, and lay in hospital at Annapolis, was honorably discharged in September, 1864. In 1865 he volunteered as a member of Company F, One Hundred and Ninety-fourth 0.V.I., and his regiment was attached to the Army of the Potomac, was in the Shenandoah Valley, at Appomattox at the surrender of Lee. Returning to his home, he resumed his business as a farmer in Monroe Township, and has met with every success.
The children born to Mr. and Mrs. Warner were seven in number, as follows: Mary C., born November 22, 1862, died November 14, 1864; Emma J., born April 27, 1864; Clara M., born December 22, 1866; Lovina E., born October 17, 1868; Dora O., born October 11 1870, died October 22 1871; Sarah E., born June 21, 1873, and James H., born June 8, 1878.

His industry and good management have made him a competence, and his walk through life has won for him the respect of all his neighbors.
