Conrad Warren, 85
Deer Lodge - Services will be Friday at 10 a.m. at the Jewell Funeral Home for Conrad Kohrs Warren, 85, longtime Grant-Kohrs Ranch owner and a member of the Cowboy Hall of Fame.
Mr. Warren died Sunday at his home in Deer Lodge.
He was born in Butte on Aug. 16, 1907, to Dr. Obey and Katherine (Kohrs) Warren. Mr. Warren was born into a pioneer cattle family, the grandson of cattle baron Conrad and Augusta Kohrs, originators of the Grant-Kohrs Ranch National Historic Site.
Mr. Warren, known to most as Con, pioneered modern ranching techniques and range management practices during his lifetime, as well as ensuring the preservation of the ranch and obtaining its national designation.
He was educated in Helena, where he graduated from high school in 1926. He studied for two years at the University of Virginia medical school, before returning to Montana to take over management of the ranch, then known as the C. K. Ranch, in 1932. Under his ownership, the ranch was known for its purebred Hereford bulls and Belgian horses.
He married Nellie Finn on May 1, 1934. She died in 1979.
Mr. Warren was the president of the Montana Stockgrowers Association 1951-1953 and the head of the state livestock commission. He served on the state commission for 12 years beginning in 1937. On the commission, he helped develop the first local livestock markets in the state and tracked down three or four large cattle rustling operations.
Perhaps Mr. Warren's greatest contribution was his work in pioneering modern livestock practices and range management in the state. He and his wife ensured the preservation of the C. K. Ranch as one of America's most popular small national parks, the Grant-Kohrs National Historic Site.
In 1989, Mr. Warren was inducted into the National Cowboy Hall of Fame in Oklahoma City, joining his grandfather for their key contributions to the American livestock industry. Mr. Warren sold and donated much of the 4,000-acre ranch to the state, along with the family mansion. He and his wife preserved the buildings and their furnishings through the years, donating the items and artifacts in the grand home.
Through the efforts of Warrens and others interested in saving the ranch, the Congress proclaimed it a National Historic Site in 1972 to provide "an understanding of the frontier cattle era of the nation's history."
In a 1989, interview with "The Montana Standard," Mr. Warren said he was pleased with the preservation of the site as a "living ranch" with cattle and horses still being raised on the grounds.
Late in life, Mr. Warren took up writing, publishing his memoirs along with numerous contributions in Reader's Digest. He was an avid reader, as well as a cowboy, with more than 3,000 volumes in his home.
Mr. Warren also served on the Deer Lodge school board and was a member of the Elks and the Presbyterian church.
He is survived by one son of Grass Valley, Calif.; daughter, Patricia Nell Warren of LaCanada, Calif.; and two grandchildren.
The Rev. Marion Horton will officiate at Friday's funeral services. Burial will follow in the Hillcrest Cemetery. Memorial gifts are requested to charity.
