WARNER HUTTON
RANCHER OF SARATOGA, SANTA CLARA COUNTY
HISTORY OF SANTA CLARA COUNTY 515
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 outdoor's 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.
