 WARNER HUTTON
RANCHER OF SARATOGA
 
A resident of California for almost three score years and ten, Warner Hutton 
came to California with his parents in 1854. Born in New York City, March 9, 
1842, he is the son of Henry and Eleanor (Foster) Hutton, also born in New York 
City, who on coming to the Coast first settled in San Francisco. During the year 
of 1870 the father bought a ranch on the Quito Road in the vicinity of Saratoga 
and improved it to orchard and lived there in peace and plenty until he passed 
away in his eightieth year, while his widow survived him and died at almost 100 
years old. Warner's preliminary education was obtained principally in the 
schools of San Francisco. As a boy he was always interested in engineering and 
his desire was to run a locomotive, but to learn it thoroughly in those days 
meant for him to go back to New York and his mother would not consent to his 
going away. He was employed in San Francisco until his parents moved to the 
ranch at Saratoga, when he also came here and assisted in setting out the 
orchards and caring for them.

When Mr. Hutton's father passed away, the home place became his and he has 
developed it to such a degree that it brings him a good income each season. Mr. 
Hutton is a Republican in his party affiliations and spends much time in the 
great outdoors hunting and fishing when opportunity affords. He has always been 
interested in the growth and prosperity of Santa Clara County and especially in 
Saratoga and vicinity, and aids in progressive movements looking to the 
upbuilding of the community which has so long been his home.
