Death of a Pioneer and Prominent Horticulturist
Milon M. Warner died at his home on the mesa, at 11 o'clock Wednesday morning, in his seventy-second year. The immediate cause of his death was a complication of stomach troubles.
The funeral took place at 10 o'clock this morning, at the house. Rev. Merrill of the Congregational Church preached the sermon. Mrs. C.C. Bailey, of Pasadena and Mrs. Will Weber, of Pomona, nieces of the deceased and H.W. McDonald, of Hemet, a nephew, were present.
Mr. Warner was born in Unity, New Hampshire, October 30, 1830. In his young manhood he removed to Texas, where he lived for several years. He afterward moved to Nebraska, where for about 18 years he followed mercantile pursuits. In 1885 Mr. Warner arrived in this valley, bought land, built a nice residence on the mesa and followed the business of horticulture.
The Warner place for years has been known as one of the best on the mesa. Mr. Warner made a study of horticulture and had his own fruit drying plant, where he turned out the finest quality of dried fruit. He was a pioneer land owner and horticulturist. Since he first arrived in the valley he has been held in high esteem by his friends, neighbors and indeed, the whole community
He was a model husband, a man of strict integrity of character and correct habits; a great reader, public spirited, patriotic and always interested in public affairs, especially national.
The funeral was largely attended. The community extends to the bereaved widow, Mrs. Warner, its sincere sympathy in her sad hour.

M.M. Warner.
In Acworth one of the old New Hampshire towns settled before the Revolution was the home of the Warners and Sladers. Far back in the early history of the town we find the names of members of these two families frequently occurring as Town Clerks, Justices of the Peace, Selectmen and Representatives to the State Legislature. They came mostly from Massachusetts and among the list of names we find that of Nathaniel Warner, settled in Acworth in 1805 and married to Miss Lucy Slader. These were the parents of the subject of this sketch, Mr. M.M. Warner. He was born in Acworth October 30, 1830. His parents had a family of three children of whom he is the only survivor. He was educated in the public schools of his native town and when old enough engaged in business with his father, who was a merchant of that place. Twenty-five years of his life was spent in that place in the general merchandise business when he removed to Chapel Hill, Texas where he engaged in business. His health giving out and the War coming on he sold out and returned to his old home and continued in business there until 1867, when he removed to Fremont, Nebraska, where he continued his mercantile business for ten years. His health giving out he retired and engaged in the propagation of small fruits and trees.
His health not improving and being physically a perfect wreck in September 1884 he came to San Jacinto, California and purchased forty acres of land on the mesa, two and one-half miles west of the city. The land is well located, rich soil, and is easily worked. Here he built his brick house and a good barn and went to work planting trees. The first year he planted fifteen acres of deciduous trees and they are now fine, large, bearing trees. There are about 2,000 trees—pears, peaches and apricots-and they have yielded large quantities of choice fruit without any irrigation whatever. The second year he planted twenty-five acres more in trees and vines and he now has a very valuable fruit farm. His health has returned and he has accomplished all this himself as he does his own work.
Like a good son he followed in the footsteps of his father and he, too, married a Slader, a daughter of one of the pioneers of Acworth, her given name being Carrie D., born December 31, 1834. She is an amiable lady. Mr. Warner's close attention to his business during his long life has retarded him from holding places of public trust. He is, nevertheless, a competent and agreeable gentleman and with his energy and skill is showing younger men how to raise tons of grapes and dried fruit. Such a man is a blessing to any country.
