HARLEY A. WARNER is a leading dairy farmer of Hamden. New Haven Co., Conn., and he evidences by the manner in which he carries on his business that he thoroughly understands the voca-
tion in which he is engaged. Neatness and order prevail upon his place, and it is managed in a manner which reflects great credit upon the owner.
Mr. Warner was born upon his present farm, Oct. 24, 1862, and there his father, Harley Warner, was also born Sept. 10, 1813, it being the old home- stead of his paternal grandfather, Jonah Warner, who resided there throughout a long and useful car- eer. He was one of the representative farmers of the community and was an active and prominent member of the Methodist Episcopal Church. He married a Miss Sanford, and to them were born nine children, Albert, Abner, Minor, Harley, Eliza- beth, Maria, Alma, Eliza and Litha, all of whom married and passed middle life. .
Harley Warner, the father of our subject, began life for himself at the age of eighteen years by driv- ing a team used in hauling wood, and the money which he saved from his wages, he invested in calves on his return home. He then had charge of the old farm, upon which he continued to live until 1876, when he removed to the place now occupied by his son, Lester, and resided there until his residence was destroyed by fire in July, 1898. He then went to live with his daughter, Mrs. Ella Warner, and at her home died March 10, 1899. For over sixty years he was a faithful and consistent member of the Methodist Episcopal Church and served as class leader for forty years. He was prominent in town and church affairs, but never aspired to office. His political support was given the men and measures of the Republican party. For a great many years he was interested in farming and the wood busi- ness, and though he started out in life for himself a poor boy, he steadily prospered and became quite well-to-do. He was twice married, his first wife be- ing Susanna Dorman, who died leaving no children, and for his second wife he married Emily Alling, a daughter of Isaac Alling. She is still living and makes her home with her daughter, Mrs. Ella Warner. Our subject is the oldest of their children, the others being Rosetta E., wife of Ellsworth Warner, of Wallingford, Conn .; Lester a promi- nent fruit grower of Hamden ; and Ella, wife of Ed- win N. Warner, of Hamden.
Harley A. Warner, whose name introduces this review, is indebted to the public schools of Hamden for his educational advantages, and upon the home farm he acquired an excellent knowledge of agricul- tural pursuits. He remained with his father until he attained his majority, and then started out in life for himself as a farmer, which occupation he has continued to follow with marked success up to the present time. He returned to the old homestead in November, 1896, and upon the place has since made many modern and substantial improvements which add greatly to its value and attractive appear- ance. Having prospered in his undertakings, he has become the owner of five tracts of land. aggre- gating 100 acres, and now devotes the greater part of his time and attention to the dairy business.

Born April 19, 1846, in Woonsocket, R I., Mr. Arvine is a son of Rev. Kazlett and Mary Ann ( Porter) Arvine, and is descended on both sides from an early and sturdy New England ancestry. His father, a Baptist minister of ability and learn- ing, the author of "Cyclopedia of Anecdotes of Literature and Fine Arts," was a native of Center- ville, Allegany Co., N. Y., and a descendant of the Palmers (he had his name changed by act of Leg- islature to Arvine) of that locality, the forerunner of whom came thither from the State of New Hamp- shire, and to that State from England.

Deacon Timothy Porter was one of the prominent and successful farmers and manufacturers of Waterbury, in his day. Al- though agriculture was his chief occupation, he was active and busy in various lines. In early life he worked on a farm through the summer season and taught school in the winters. After his mar- riage he purchased property. Being very thrifty he ran a carding machine and prospered in the busi- ness. Selling his machine in 1829, he for twenty years thereafter earried on the business of brick- making, supplying during that period about all the brick used in Waterbury. In 1845 he was instru- mental in establishing a brass mill on his property- owning a fine water power on Mad river-which became the East Mill of the Waterbury Brass Co. He disposed of his interest in this in 1862. As a Whig Deacon Porter represented Waterbury in the State Legislature.

ULRICH HARING. No better illustration of the characteristic energy and enterprise of the typi- cal German-American can be found than that afforded by the career of Ulrich Haring, who is living in Naugatuck, New Haven Co., Conn. Com- ing to this country with no capital, he has made his way to success through wisely directed effort, and can now look back with satisfaction upon past struggles.
A native of Baden, Germany, Mr. Haring was born July 25, 1860, a son of Ulrich and Mary ( Sta- tale) IIaring, also natives of that kingdom, where both his paternal and maternal grandfathers fol- lowed farming throughout life. The parents, who never came to America, died in Germany, the father in 1871, the mother in November, 1870. They had five children, namely: Casper, now a brewer in Nebraska; Bibata, still a resident of Germany; Pierce, deceased; Mary, who also continues to re- side in the old country ; and Ulrich.
Mr. Haring grew to manhood in his native land, his time being passed in attending the public schools and working for a farmer until fourteen years of age. He then served a two-years' apprenticeship at the bakers' trade, and at the end of that time went to Switzerland, where he worked at his trade until his emigration to America, in November, 1880. Shortly after his arrival in this country he took up his residence in Waterbury, Conn., where he followed his chosen occupation for one year. He then returned to New York for the purpose of gain- ing a more thorough knowledge of the business, and after devoting four years to his trade in that city he again came to Waterbury, Conn., and had charge of Thomas Carey's bakery for three years and a half. While there he was married to Miss Helen Kuhn, also a native of Germany.
After his marriage Mr. Haring spent some time in New Britain, where he at first worked for others at his trade, and then conducted a bakery of his own for two years. On disposing of his property ·he came to Naugatuck in September, 1891, and was engaged in the baking business until Feb. 1, 1898. He has met with remarkable success in business and has made some judicious investments, so that he is now quite well-to-do, having an income from his property sufficient to meet all requirements. Politi- cally he is an ardent Republican, and religiously is a member of the Catholic Church. He is a member of several fraternal organizations, including the German branches of the Improved Order of Red Men and the Ancient Order of United Workmen.
