      BENJAMIN WARREN, Jr. The enterprise exhibited by this gentleman in the conduct of his business affairs has been such as to entitle him to the respect of other dealers and give him a prominent place in the commercial circles of Peoria. He was born in LaHarpe, Hancock Count, July 22, 1852, passed his boyhood days in the his native place, and after obtaining a good practical education, embarked in the grain business when twenty years old. Four years later, in 1874, he came to Peoria, continuing the business in which he had previously been engaged and in which he has become an adept. He is connected with the Board of Trade, of which he was President in 1885. Mr. Warren is President of Americus Club, and a highly-respected member of the Knights of Pythias. He has been a Director of Peoria Improvement Association since its organization was effected, and is now President of that body. He has never been an aspirant for political honors, but is a "wheel horse" in helping friends who do desire political preferment. He no doubt inherits much of his tact in trade, as his father has been engaged in general merchandising for years. He located in LaHarpe in 1845, coming thence from his native state of Main. In the Illinois town he met, wooed and married Miss Portia A. Nutt, an Ohio lady of estimable charger. To his worthy parents our subject owes much for their counsel and watchful guidance during his early years. An important step in the life of our subject was consummated February 12,1879, it being no less than his marriage t Miss Bertha, daughter of A.H. and Catherine (Baker) Day, her father formerly a merchant of Joliet, but both new deceased. Mrs. Warren is a well-bred and well-educated lady, who surrounds her husband and children with the joys of a happy home life, and hospitably entertains the friends who gather beneath her roof. Mr. and Mrs. Warren he three children - Ella, Charles D. and Frank M.
