Francis Emroy Warren (20 June 1844ndash 24 November 1929) was an American politician of the Republican Party best known for his years in the United States Senate representing Wyoming.

Early life and military service

Warren was born on 20 June 1844 in Hinsdale, Berkshire County, Massachusetts and grew up attending common schools and his local Hinsdale Academy.

During the American Civil War, Warren served in the 49th Regiment, Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry as a noncommissioned officer. At the siege of Port Hudson, Warren received the Medal of Honor for battlefield gallantry at age nineteen. His entire platoon was destroyed by Confederate bombardment and Warren, taking a serious scalp wound, disabled the artillery. Warren later served as a Captain in the Massachusetts Militia.

Business and politics

Following the Civil War, Warren engaged in farming and stock-raising in Massachusetts before moving to Wyoming (then part of the Territory of Dakota) in 1868. Settling in Cheyenne, Mr. Warren engaged in real estate, mercantile business, livestock raising and the establishment of Cheyenne's first lighting system, becoming quite wealthy.

Mr. Warren's political work included: Member, Wyoming Territorial Senate (1873-1874, 1884-1885), serving as Senate President; Member, Cheyenne City Council (1873-1874); Treasurer of Wyoming (1876, 1879, 1882, 1884); and Mayor of Cheyenne (1885).

In February 1885, Mr. Warren was appointed Governor of the Territory of Wyoming by President Chester A. Arthur, although he was removed by Democratic President Grover Cleveland in November 1886. He was reappointed by President Benjamin Harrison in March 1889 and served until 1890, when he was elected first Governor of Wyoming (September-November 1890).

enate years and death

In November 1890, Warren resigned as Governor, having been elected to the United States Senate as a Republican, serving until 4 March 1893. He then resumed his former business pursuits before returning to the Senate (4 March 1895–24 November 1929). During his long Senate service, Mr. Warren was Chairman of the several Senate Committees::- Committee on Irrigation and Reclamation of Arid Lands:- Committee on Claims:- Committee on Irrigation:- Committee on Military Affairs:- Committee on Public Buildings and Grounds:- Committee on Agriculture and Forestry:- Committee on Appropriations:- Committee on Engrossed Bills

Senator Warren died on 24 November 1929 in Washington, D.C. His funeral service was held in the United States Senate chamber. At the time of his death, Warren had served longer than any other US Senator.

Legacy

F.E. Warren Air Force Base in Cheyenne, Wyoming is named after Warren. Additionally, Warren's daughter married then-Captain John J. Pershing in 1905. Several years later, President Theodore Roosevelt promoted Pershing from captain to Brigadier General over 900 senior officers. Pershing's wife and three daughters were later killed during a fire at the Presidio in San Francisco. Warren was also the first senator to hire a female staffer and, as Appropriations Chairman during World War I, he was instrumental in funding the American efforts.
