WALTER S. WARRING is one of the native sons of Ventura County, has been identified with the 
farming and fruit growing industry in this section since he reached manhood, and is now very 
influentially and successfully connected with the community around Piru.
Born on the old home place in Ventura County September 14, 1875, he is a son of that pioneer 
Californian 'and Ventura County citizen Benjamin F. Warring, whose career is sketched on other 
pages. Walter S. Warring grew up on the old farm, was educated in the district schools up to 
the age of eighteen and then found ample employment for his energies on his father's ranch. 
With the death of his father in 1903 he inherited fifty acres. The management of that has 
engrossed all his time and attention. He has twenty-five acres planted in an orange grove, 
twelve acres in walnuts, five acres in lemons and the rest in pasture land.
Mr. Warring is a member of the Piru Citrus Association, of the Santa Paula Walnut Growers 
Association, and is a very active member of the horticultural interests. He is a republican, and a 
Methodist. At Hayward, Alameda County, California, November 24, 1908, he married Miss 
Eloise Beem, a native of Illinois and a daughter of Mrs. Cara F. Beem, one of the pioneer school 
teachers of Ventura County. They have one child, Stephen Dudley, aged six years.
