Letter: Warren Stilwell to Mary E. Jones, Oct. 23, 1925

Warren Stilwell
Mary Elva (Stilwell) Jones


Warren Stilwell was born 2 February 1858 in Metomen, Fond du Lac Co., Wisconsin.  He was the son of Lonson Stilwell and Mary Kay White.  Mary Elva (Stilwell) Jones, his sister, was born 14 August 1861, also in Metomen.

Warren was married to Carrie (Blake) King on 5 February 1907 in Minneapolis, Minnesota.  They seem to have later divorced.  Carrie had a couple of children (surname King), but I have found no children for Warren.

Warren died in Los Angeles, California on 20 November 1926, just a little more than a year after this letter was written.  He is buried in Los Angeles.

I don't know who Jennie & Lisle are that Warren mentions, but Mary's children were John S., Harold, Daniel, Edith, and Marycarol Jones.  I've written posts about each of them.  Her husband was John R. Jones

In 1925, John S. was probably in Chicago.  Harold and Dan were at Carlton College, as was Marycarol.  I am not sure what Edith was doing in 1925.
