son of Salmon Root and Eliza (transcript of death record)
Warren served his community at various times as Street Commission, petit juror, and grand juror.

In 1873, Burlington held its Fourth of July Celebration in Greenmount Cemetery to recognize both the national holiday and he completion of the Ethan Allen monument which still stands in Greenmount Cemetery. In a speech that day, John N. Pomeroy stated "It is but just to say that for the original subscriptions and contributions, we are largely indebted to the patriotic exertions of Mr. Warren Root of this city."

A death notice was published in Burlington Weekly Free Press (Burlington, Vermont) on September 25, 1874.
Burlington Daily Sentinel (Burlington, Vermont) September 19, 1874:
"He came here many years ago and opened the Pearl Street House. He enjoyed a large acquaintance and will be missed by a very large number of friends. He leaves a widow and two daughters."

The Pearl Street House, an inn and tavern built about 1789 by Eli Barnard, was originally known as the Green Mountain House. It was on the southwest corner of what is now North Prospect Street and Pearl Street in Burlington. The original inn burned in 1838, and rebuilt in 1840. The inn closed about 1854. The site is now the site where the Bisiop DeGosbriand Memorial Hospital (part of The University of Vermont Medical Center) is now located.
