E. A. Warren, editor and proprietor of the Daily and Weekly Texarkana, was born near Holly Springs, Miss., on August 23, 1840 and in 1847 his father, Hon. E. A. Warren, who represented Arkansas in Congress several terms before the war, moved to Camden, Ark., where the subject of this sketch was principally reared. He graduated in law at Lebanon, Tenn., and until he came to Texarkana, August, 1884, was a successful lawyer, never really being a candidate for office, though elected mayor of Camden and Prescott, respectively. He fought on the Confederate side during the late unpleasantness and served through the entire war. He was captured at Island No. 10, spent six months in prison at Chicago, after which he was exchanged and served regularly in the cavalry until the close of the war. Since 1884 he has devoted his entire time to journalism, in which he has attained success and reputation. He has been married twice, and become the father of ten children, seven of whom—five sons and two daughters— are now living. Mr. Warren is an admirable newspaper man, and his progressive ideas are reflected in every corner of his paper and its management. He is a vigorous writer, and his paper is Democratic in its tendencies.
