EMMA (JOHNSON) WARREN – Warren, Johnson, McCormick, Adams, Cowling, Leachman, McKay, McCauley #11172: History of Kentucky, The Blue Grass State, Volume IV Illustrated. The S. J. Clarke Publishing Company, Chicago-Louisville, 1928. Jefferson Co. Mrs. Emma (Johnson) Warren, importer and milliner, conducts Louisville’s most attractive shop in the Business Woman’s Club at 425 West Walnut street. She was born at Fort Russell, Wyoming, and was a daughter of Edward and Catherine Johnson, natives of England and Belgium, respectively. Edward Johnson, a soldier of the Civil war, passed away when his daughter Emma was but seven years of age. His wife was still a very young girl when she crossed the Atlantic in a sailing vessel which reached American shores after a voyage of ninety days. During the period of pioneer development in the west she made her way from Baltimore, Maryland, to Wyoming, a portion of the journey in the party of “Buffalo Bill.” Her daughter Emma was a maiden of seven summers when she located her family in Louisville, Kentucky, and here she remained until the time of her removal to Paradise Valley, San Diego, California, where she not resides at the age of ninety years. By her marriage she became the mother of two sons and four daughters, as follows: Edward, Stuart, Cowling, Mary, Virginia, Alice and Molly; Lydia Elizabeth Johnson; Henrietta, who is the wife of Clyde McCormick of Bellingham, Washington, and the mother of two children, Clyde and Elmer McCormick; Katharine, the wife of Stanley Dean Adams of Memphis, Tennessee, and the mother of one daughter, Peggy; Mrs. Emma (Johnson) Warren; and Parnell, of Oakland, California, who married Lucy Stewart Cowling, and eight children were born to them – Parnell Stewart, Mary Virginia, Richard Arnold, Letitia Leachman, Lucy Cowling, Pendleton Taylor, Sarah Elizabeth and Alice McKay Johnson. Emma Johnson gave her hand in marriage to Jefferson Davis Warren of Frankfort, Kentucky, a representative of an old family of this state whose forebears were the “Warrens” of Virginia. Mr. and Mrs. Jefferson Davis Warren are the parents of two sons: Louis Jefferson, who is a graduate of the Kentucky Military Institute, class of 1923; and David Francis, who is a member of the class of 19217 in the University of Louisville. It was in the year 1897 that Mrs. Emma Warren began business in the old McCauley block of Louisville, where she first paid a rental of thirty-seven and one-half dollars. Some idea of the appreciation of property values there may be gained from the fact that when she moved from this location in 1925 her rental was three hundred dollars. In her present shop at 425 West Walnut street are to be found all the attractions and fads of the world’s fines importing and millinery establishments, with everything in exquisite taste. It is several years ahead of other Louisville shops of similar character, and its owner is accorded a very large and gratifying patronage.
