Warren Bourne Walt, who devotes his attention to dairy farming with excellent success, is the owner of a well improved tract of forty acres situated four miles northwest of Meridian, whereon he has resided continuously during the past twenty-two years. His birth occurred in Carroll county, Missouri, on the 2d of July, 1873, his parents being David and Julia (Bourne) Walt. The father passed away in Missouri when his son Warren was yet a youth, but the mother still survives and now makes her home in Meridian, Idaho.

Warren B. Walt removed to Putnam county, Missouri, when a youth of sixteen years and there continued to reside until 1898, when he came to Idaho with his wife and little son. He at once located on his present property northwest of Meridian, but the tract was at that time all covered with sagebrush and infested with coyotes and jack rabbits. With characteristic energy, however, he set to work and with the assistance of his estimable wife developed and improved the place, erecting all of the buildings thereon. The land is now highly productive and he devotes his attention to dairy farming, keeping a number of fine cows.

On the 2nd of July, 1895, Mr. Walt was united in marriage to Miss Louie May Adams, who was born in Putnam county, Missouri, December 7, 1877, a daughter of Marvin and Mahala (Rowan) Adams, who passed away in the same year on their ranch near Meridian, Idaho. To Mr. and Mrs. Walt have been born three children; Clarence Vivian, whose birth occurred September 3, 1897, was married on the 14th of October, 1916, to Leila Aiken and they now have two children: Kathleen Joyce, born August 14, 1917; and Irene Doris, born January 20, 1919. Florence Z., whose natal day was August 13, 1900, is a graduate of the Meridian high school and now the wife of Ben Robinson, whom she wedded on the 16th of November. 1919.

Mr. and Mrs. Clarence V. Walt and Mr. and Mrs. Robinson reside on ranches in the vicinity of Meridian. Leo Vernon, son of Mr. and Mrs. Warren B. Walt, was born September 23, 1902, and passed away March 9, 1903.

Both Mr. and Mrs. Walt give their political allegiance to the republican party and the former is a member of the Victory school board near his home, on which he has served for about twelve years altogether, acting as chairman of the board for a number of years. The cause of education has ever found in him a stalwart champion and he has done excellent service in its behalf. His religious faith is indicated by his membership in the Congregational church, to which his wife and children also belong. His career has been characterized by industry, perseverance and progressiveness, and the prosperity which has come to him is indeed well deserved.
