My Father, Warren, as he was known, was born in Platte Township, Union County, Iowa on 20 September, 1889, the son of ROBERT (BUD) and ALICE ELIZABETH McMANIS MADDEN. His Mother died when he was four years old, and his oldest sister, MARY MADDEN MICKEY, took over the family until her death in 1910.

After his Father died in 1911 Warren lived with my Grandmother Ophelia and her family for awhile and really never had a home after that until he and GRACE MADDEN were married 7 January, 1925. He became ill in October 1925 and passed away 12 November, 1925 at the age of 36 years. He was probably about 12 years old when this picture was taken.
