Cora Edith Springer was born November 7, 1883, to James Wesley and Matilda (Hayden)
  Springer of Medicine Lodge, Kansas. She was 3rd of their ten children. Cora attended
  the Barber County schools and graduated from Barber County High School. She became
  a teacher in the rural schools.
     It was one term that she was teaching the Amber District that she met her future
  life's companion. She boarded in the James Warren home. Their son, Orron, would slip 
  down to the school and start the fire, so that by the time the teacher and pupils
  arrived, the building was cozy and warm.
     Orron was 4th of the eight Warren children. He was born March 31, 1883, and grew
  to manhood in Amber Community. His kindness and consideration impressed the young
  lady, and on October 1, 1913, Orron and Cora were united in marriage. They made
  their home on the Springer Homestead about six miles south of Medicine Lodge, where
  Orron farmed; and they were involved in their community affairs. The were members of
  the Christian Church.
     For a time Orron and cora raised terrier puppies which they sold to a pet shop.
     Sunflower School was just south of their home, so they often boarded teachers 
  during the years. They had no children of their own, but filled their lives with
  loving all children. Nieces and nephews were delighted to stay in their home. Many
  of the children from the school often spent the night with them. It was a treat for
  the children and the Warrens.
     Cora and Orron celebrated their Golden Wedding Anniversary October 1, 1963. Her
  health was failing and on July 3, 1964, Cora passed away.
     Orron continued farming and remained in their country home, even after leasing
  the land. In March, 1977, he could no long live alone, so he decided to make his
  home at Kiowa Manor, Kiowa, Kansas, where he could have care.
     March 31, 1979, Orron celebrated his 96th birthday with open house in his room
  at the Manor. Cake and punch were served to all who stopped by. He is still very 
  alert and enjoys working jigsaw puzzels and watching TV. He plays bingo and visits 
  with family and friends. He enjoys and cherishes the many new friends he has made
  at Kiowa as well as those who have been a part of his life through the years.
