John Meeker fought in the Civil War with the 11th Iowa Infantry. He took part in the Battle for Atlanta and Sherman's march to the sea through Georgia.

His brother William recorded in his diary that "brother Warren suffered a sun stroke during the battle of Atlanta".
But he survived and went on with General Sherman (probably to the end of the war).

John Warren Meeker was the son of Jonathan Meeker and Martha Shellabarger. In 1866 he married Harriett Gates in Muscatine, Iowa. Their children were Nora, Walter, Carl Winston, Howard Alvin, Mary Myrtle, Warren Edgar, George W. and Harriet Cone Meeker.
