Conway:: Our veterans are one by one answering the call which bids them enter the life beyond the grave. The latest member of Custer Post to respond to the summons Henry A. Warren, who died at his home March 16, 1914, after a long period of failing health, during which he was faithfully cared for by his devoted wife. Mr. Warren was born in Limington, Maine in November 1833, the son of Abner C. Warren and his wife, who was Miss Zylpha Dyer of Hollis.
In his youth he learned the mason's trade and worked at the business in Portland and vicinity. In September 1862, when a call came for troops he volunteered and enlisted in Gorham in Company K. of the 25th Maine under Col. Dow. The company to which he belonged was detailed for guard duty around Washington. The most of his nine months of service was passed at Arlington Heights. In July 1863 he was honorably discharged and returned to Maine, working at his trade in Saco. In 1865 he married Miss Abbie Thompson of Cornish, who survives him after almost fifty years of wedded life. The couple lived in Limington for a few years, moving to New Hampshire in 1873. Finding the work of bricklaying injurious to his eyes, Mr. Warren gave up that business and was employed upon the railroad for several years while living in Madison.
Six children were born to the couple of whom four survive besides one adopted daughter. Thirty-two years ago the family came to Conway Village where Mr. Warren was employed by Henry Metcalf of the spool mills.
Here he has made many friends who have a high regard for the many sterling qualities of character which have made of him so worthy a citizen, so obliging a neighbor and so excellent a husband and father.
About ten years ago failing eyesight compelled him to retire from active life and during that time he has been nearly blind. His patience under that affliction has been unfailing and his cheerful acceptance of the inevitable made him a worthy example for others. For many months a gradual breaking up of his powers both mental and physical has been taking place and the end when it came was a release from a bondage of ills.
Funeral services were held at his home Wednesday of last week, with the Rev. A.T. Hillman in attendance. Miss Irene Hammond and the Congregational choir sang. The services were closed by the simple and impressive burial service with which the Grand Army honors their departed comrades. The remains were taken to Cornish, Maine for interment in the family lot.

The Reporter (May 8, 1924)
Monday last Mrs. Warren came back to her Conway home after spending the winter in Dorchester with her daughter. She seemed very happy to again meet old friends and neighbors. Apparently unusually well physically and in the best of spirits, she looked forward to the coming months with many pleasant anticipations. At about 1 a.m. Thursday morning she awoke in distress which could not be relieved and at 1:20 a.m. passed away quietly before the doctor who had been summoned came as quickly as possible.
Mrs. Warren was well known for over forty years and where she had been active and efficient in church and community.
She was born in Parsonsfield, Maine, the daughter of Henry S. Thompson and Lucy Ann Libby of Limington and was 78 years old in December and was the last of her family. Fifty-nine years ago she married Henry Warren of Steep Falls, a veteran of the Civil War. They lived for a time in Baldwin, and then in Madison and Chocorua, New Hampshire, coming to Conway 43 years ago.
Six children were born to them: Lucy, now Mrs. Strangman of Conway, Mattie who died in infancy, Chase who died in Cornish a few years ago, Mattie now Mrs. Taylor of Dorchester, Harry of Dorchester, and Arthur of Reading, Massachusetts. An adopted daughter, Mrs. Agnes Rich lives in East Boston.She was a member of the Congregational Church and of the W.R.C. Funeral services were held at her home Saturday afternoon with H. Rees Jones in attendance. The W.R.C. attended in body. The remains were taken to Cornish, Maine to be interred in the family lot beside her husband who died ten years ago. A short service of prayer was held at the grave where a number of friends were gathered who were unable to come to Conway for the services.
Harry Warren was 65 years old when he died. Notes from J. Keith Henney card file at the Fryeburg Historical Society.
Obituary-North Conway Reporter, January 24, 1941--Funeral services were held Saturday at the undertaking parlors in Wolfeboro for Harry Warren formerly of Conway who died in the Wolfeboro hospital after an illness following a fall down a flight of stairs in Ossipee where he was boarding. He was well known in Conway being the son of Henry and Abbie Thompson Warren who for years were residents of the village. He spent several years in the West and later in Boston.
Since failing health forced his retirement from business activity he has been in Conway much of the time. He leaves one sister, Mrs. Mattie Taylor of Dedham and one brother, Arthur Warren of Reading and an adopted sister, Mrs. Agnes Rich of Boston.
Interment was in the family lot in Cornish, Maine.
Taken from the card file compiled by J. Keith Henney owned by the Fryeburg Historical Society:
On July 25, Mrs. Henry Warren adopted Agnes Thurston, 3rd child of Jerome S. and Agnes A. Thurston, and changed the girl's name to Warren. The adopted child was born May 3, 1888; her mother died in June 1888.

Capt. James Foss is buried in the Steep Falls, Maine Cemetery. According to the book, THE FOUNDING OF PEARSONTOWN, (STANDISH, MAINE) by Albert J. Sears, Capt. Foss was one of the early settlers in Pearsontown. His wife was Sophia Warren. They had no children. Capt. Foss was a bright and interesting man--was in trade a surveyor of lumber and later years did the business of a justice of the peace and made the conveying of property affecting insurance and the collecting of plensions and the buying and selling of land warrants. He was a man much respected and loved by most of the people. He died the past season at an advanced age. The writer remembers very distinctly the time when Capt. Foss obtained his title of captain by taking command of one of the Standish military companies. He was a proud man and when he donned his new uniform and paraded his company at the annual May training, he was one of the finest officers that had a commission that was before the going out of the militia of Maine.
James rode a horse into a saloon in Standish on the old Puddin Hill Road to win a bet, building still stood in 1960 being more than 160 yrsrs old and built by Robert Higgins. The horse shoe imprints in the wood remained in 1960 from what a newspaper clipping stated from a scrap book at the Steep Falls Library.
