Murray Heller Warren, Portrait. Tintype Photograph. c. 1877, most likely taken near Spartansburg, Crawford County, PA or near Corry, Erie County, PA. Privately held by Herstoryan, Houston, Texas. 2010

Daughter of Edward Morgan Warren and Sarah C. (Schriver) Warren, M. H. Warren was born 27 Sept 1854 in Gettysburg, Adams County, Pennsylvania. He married Ida Lois Elderkin daughter of Dyer White Elderkin and Lois (King) Elderkin,  11 Aug 1877 in PA. He died 25 Mar 1925 while traveling. He died at the Hotel Green, Pasadena, California and is buried in Grave 12 Lot 2172 of Mountain View Cemetery, Pasadena, Orange County, CA. 

They were the parents of three known children: Murray Heller Warren Jr; Laura Blanche Warren wife of O. H. Berryman; Sarah/Sadie Lois Warren wife of William Levis Judson (the one whose bridal portrait was restored). 

He is my great great grandfather.
