from the writer's own published
History of Medina County, Ohio"
Twisting among the trees and
through the underbrush on the OK
cart trail (now parts of State
Routes 13 and Az, Warmers little
caravan stopped at a one-room
rough log tavern dozen miles be-
low Cleveland when night came ON.
Ox-Wagon Caravan
The caravan, three ox-wagons. a
few extra yoke of oxen, IL driven
cattle and 13 persons, had been on
the road from Waterbury, Connecti-
cut, for 10 days. 1t was on its way
to Liverpool township, Medina
County, where Warner had bought
cheap wilderness land.
With Justis Warner was his wife,
Urania; their children: Aaron, Edna,
Justis Jr. and jeanne; their SON,
Alpheus, and his bride, Minerva;
their daughter Ruth and her husband
Moses Deming; and three unmarried
men: Ely L. Seeley, David Scoville
and young fellow named Clark.
Meant to care for one or two
guests at a time, the red-headed
Irishman's little inn was taxed by
the 13 guests. The party had to find
sleeping room on the floor and
furnish their own bedding. Tomor-
row, Warner hoped, they would get
to their new homes on Rocky River.
Pioneer Living Quarters
Age came first and Pop Warner
got first choice of the sleeping space.
Next came the bride and groom,
Alpheus and Minerva. Minerals bed
was so near the big hearth that she
had to draw up her knees to keep
her feet out of the ashes. Little
choice was left but it went to Moses
and Ruth Deming. The single men
took the remainder and the inn
keeper went up the ladder into the
loft to go to bed.

Grandpappy Warner,
Citizen

Mere man, like millions more,
with many shortcomings and a few
good traits, Justis Warner never got
to be governor nor senator nor any
thing else of consequence.
Because he was one of the rabble
people like us-whose uninmport-
ance history forgets, this story is
brought back to give the common
man his own. Anyhow, readers will
learn that such a man once lived.
