LOUIS BACON WARREN, D.D.:  L. B. Warren was a direct descendant of 
one of the most distinguished families in the South.  His grandfather 
was Josiah Warren, a native of Virginia and a Captain in 
the Revolutionary War.  His grandfather was Rev. Kittrell Warren, a 
Baptist preacher of marked ability and for a number of years a leading 
pastor in Alabama.  His father was Dr. Ebenezer W. Warren, who after 
practicing law for some time and making a success of it, entered the 
ministry, and Later served the First Churches of Atlanta, Georgia; 
Richmond, Virginia; Macon, Georgia; and the Tattnall Square Church, 
Macon, Georgia.
	His maternal grandfather was Major Edwin Bacon of Liberty County, 
Georgia.  His mother was Miss Caroline Mary Bacon, a granddaughter of 
Dr. Henry Holcombe, founder of colleges, and finally pastor of the 
First Baptist Church of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
	Our subject was born in Atlanta, Georgia, January 1, 1876.  His 
childhood was spent in Richmond, Virginia and his youth and young 
manhood in Macon, Georgia.  His educational advantages were the best 
and included attendance at the public schools in Macon, Georgia, and 
Mercer University.  He studied later at Richmond College, the 
University of Chicago, the University of Georgia, and the Southern 
Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky.  He acquired 
the degrees of LL.B., A.B., A.M., and Ph.D.  The honorary degree of 
Doctor of Divinity was conferred upon him by Bethel College.
	In May, 1898, he enlisted with American volunteers in the 
Spanish-American War and was attached to Company F., First Georgia 
Regiment.  He served as private and corporal until he was appointed 
as Chaplin [sic] of the Third Georgia Regiment by Governor Atkinson, 
with which he served until the end of the war.  After the war he was 
elected as Chaplain of the Georgia-Alabama veterans of this war.
	Brother Warren was converted in April, 1898, and baptized by his 
father into the fellowship of the Tattnall Square Church at Macon, 
Georgia.  He felt the call of God to preach at once and responded to 
that call.  He was ordained by the Tattnall Square Church in May, 
1898, and very soon afterwards left as a volunteer for the army.  
Rev. F. W. Warren, his father, and Revs. C. A. Turner, Millard 
Jenkens, E. B. Carroll, and John E. Briggs composed the presbytery 
at his ordination.  After his return from the war he became pastor 
of the Church at Ocala, Florida, which he served in the years 
1902-1905.  After two years at the First Baptist Church of Beaumont, 
Texas, he assumed the pastorate of the First Baptist Church in 
Owensboro, Kentucky in the year 1907.  His very effective work with 
this Church continued until March, 1911, when he resigned to accept 
the care of the Second Baptist Church of Richmond, Virginia, which he 
served in the years 1911-1912.
	In May, 1913, he became Superitendent [sic] of the Department of 
Church Extension of the Home Mission Board of the Southern Baptist 
Convention.  He filled this important office until the year 1920 when 
he entered the evangelistic field.  From 1920 to the year 1932 he 
effectively pursued this all-important work until he was stricken 
with blindness and was forced to retire from active participation in 
the ministry, after about thirty-three years of service.  His death 
occurred in the early part of 1943 at the age of sixty-seven.  He 
never married.
	Brother Warren was an exceptionally brilliant man and fulfilled 
his calling to an eminent degree.  He was followed in the Owensboro 
pastorate by Rev. Millard Jenkens who was on the presbytery at his 
ordination.
