Warren Family Papers
Manuscripts
The Warren family papers document four generations of both the Horn and Warren family from 1809 to 1960 and consists of manuscripts, correspondence, and ephemera. The Manuscript series is arranged alphabetically and contains appointment books, diaries, family histories, and speeches written by various family members. The oldest items in the collection belonged to Captain Alexander Horn, (d. 1817). Captain Horn was the master of the ships "Hokar" and "Cato." One item is a seaman's journal which tracks the voyages Captain Horn made between New York and New Orleans and between New York and the British Isles from 1809-1812. The other is a photographic copy of the Horn Log that contains original correspondence with Trinity Church, New York, the National Maritime Museum, and the New York Public Library which help authenticate the Warren and Horn families' relationship to Captain Horn. The appointment books were kept by the Warren family from 1897 to 1906, the diaries were kept by Minnie Horn Warren later in life, from 1932 until the time of her death in 1953. There is one diary that was kept by C.C. in 1913. The appointment books and diaries often track the day- to-day activities of the family and document the weather and its impact on the orchards. The family history entries were written by various family members including Leslie A. Warren, C.C. Warren, Minnie Warren, Goldie Zumwalt Warren, Alexander Horn, 1814-1905, and John H. Zumwalt, later in life. John H. Zumwalt was the grandfather of Goldie Zumwalt Warren, the wife of Leslie Warren. In his manuscript John recounts his family's journey to California in 1854. The speeches were written by Leslie A. Warren and were presented at the fiftieth anniversary of the San Dimas Orange Growers and Lemon Growers Association. The Correspondence series is arranged alphabetically by author and spans from 1815 to 1906. Most of the letters revolve around Alexander and Mary Ann Simmons Horn, the grandparents of Minnie Horn Simmons. The series contains letters from various family members and friends including Mary Ann's brothers William Simmons and George Kellogg, Alexander's grandmother Margaret Lorton, his brother Abraham Lorton, and his cousin John Lorton. Correspondence discuss Alexander and Mary Ann's move to Springfield, Missouri, the weather in New York, the health of the family, the untimely death of Abraham Horn in 1841, the birth of Alexander and Mary Ann's daughter, and the family members in New York sharing their desire to move back to the city so that the family could once again be reunited. The Ephemera series contains the daily expenses, receipts, and financial records kept by C.C. and Minnie Warren from 1898-1909. Both photographs and negatives of C.C., Minnie, their sons Mavro, Hal, and Herbert dating from 1906 to 1936 can be found in this section as well. There is also a small wooden box made by Alexander Horn, a Holy Bible belonging to him, his will dated 1815, and a marriage certificate between Mary Ann and Alexander Horn dated December 31, 1834. Lastly, there is an abstract of title to land in Los Angeles paid by Stoddard Jesse, et al (1888), a Christmas card from Cora Hatch Johnston, and a note to Mary Ann Simmons from her mother (1833).
