(Published in History of Idaho: The Gem of the Mountains Vol. 3 by James H. Hawley 1920)
A charming country home is that of George Abner Warden, who is one of the prominent and representative ranchmen of Gem county, his place being situated about four miles southwest of Emmett, on the south slope. Mr. Warden has been a resident of Idaho since 1895 and that his life has been an active and useful one is plainly indicated in the excellent appearance of his ranch property. Kansas numbers him as a native son, his birth having occurred in the Sunflower state on the 18th of August, 1863, his parents being David Mitchell and Effie (Gooden) Warden, who in the year 1875 crossed the plains in a covered wagon. The family made their way direct to Oregon, where George A. Warden resided until he came to Idaho and took up his abode on a ranch. The land which he acquired was then covered by sagebrush and gave little evidence of soon being transformed into a rich, productive and valuable property. Mr. Warden had had considerable experience in farming while living in Wallowa county. Oregon, and on reaching Gem county in 1895 secured his present homestead of eighty acres. He at once began to clear away the sagebrush and place the fields under cultivation, and now there are few better ranch properties in the vicinity of Emmett than that which he owns and which annually returns to him a substantial income as a reward for the care and labor which he bestows upon the place.
On the 8th of July, 1890, in Oregon, Mr. Warden was married to Miss Minerva O. Davis, who was born at Cove, Oregon, March 27, 1871, a daughter of Daniel Coleman and Rebecca (Russell) Davis, who were born, reared and married in Tennessee and became pioneer settlers of Oregon, crossing the plains in a covered wagon after the primitive manner of travel in pioneer times. Mrs. Warden was reared and educated in Oregon and is a cultured and refined lady. When she was sixteen years of age she became assistant postmaster at Prairie Creek, Oregon, and filled that position for four years or until her marriage. She has become the mother of but one child. Ross Davis Warden, who was born December 4, 1892, and died September 10, 1905, when about thirteen years of age. his death being a great blow to his parents, whose hopes and interests centered in the boy.
Mr. Warden is a republican, while his wife gives her political allegiance to the democratic party. She is a member of the Baptist church and she also belongs to the Crescent Improvement Club and for two years served as its president. She is one of the well known club women of Idaho, having taken active part in the work of the State Federation of Women's Clubs, and both Mr. and Mrs. Warden give the weight of their aid and influence to the support of all those interests which are a matter of civic virtue and of civic pride.
