Major Joseph H. Warner

The father of Major Warner, Joseph H. Warner, was born in Sumner county, Tennessee, September 5, 1843. His father, J. L. Warner, was a native of Virginia, whence he moved to Sumner county, Tennessee, in the eighteen thirties. By occupation he was a farmer and a stockman and a solid, sub­stantial citizen of Sumner county. 

The mother of Major Warner was before her marriage Miss Elizabeth Cartwright, and on her side represents one of the oldest and most notable Tennessee families. Her father was James Cartwright. The Cartwright family came from North Carolina in 1780, and settled near Nashville, where the great-grandfather, Robert Cartwright, died. They were among the original settlers in that part of Tennessee, and bought their land from the Indians.

The mother of Major Warner died in 1873. There were four sons and three daughters in the family, of whom the Major and three sisters survive. 

His brother, James C. Warner, was one of the prominent iron masters of Tennessee, and had established some of the early iron furnaces in eastern and middle Tennessee, and continued their operation with notable success throughout his active life.

The following was furnished by Stanley F. Rose in 2006

Our grandmother, Sadie Warner Frazer, wrote in her memoirs that they often visited their cousins, the Philips family, at Sylvan Hall: 

“We have often gone to visit our Philips kin at “Sylvan Hall” with our grandmother Warner.  They frequently gave spend-the-day family reunions.

We would leave Renraw in the early forenoon (by carriage of course), go out the Gallatin Pike to Maplewood, out through Maplewood over a road of sorts and emerge on the Dickerson Pike a short distance from Sylvan Hall.  These reunions were always happy, hilarious affairs with such kissing and hugging of cousins infrequently seen.

The Philips were remarkably attractive people, excelled at telling stories and were all good-looking.  They were Money’s first cousins: Cousin Maggie who had inherited the home place; Cousin Joe who had built a small house on his acres and had wonderful apple orchards; Cousin Dan who lived on the Gallatin Pike; and Cousin Mary (Demoville) who was Cousin Willie’s mother.  (Money was Mrs. James Cartwright Warner whose mother was a Philips.) 

Cousin Willie was a worthy representative of this family.  She was named for her grandfather William D. Philips. 

The story goes that Joseph Washington “stopped over” for a few days with his friend Joseph Philips when he came out to Tennessee from Virginia prospecting.  He looked the countryside over, came to the conclusion that it was too thickly settled and pushed on with his few possessions (and slaves, there were several) to Robertson County, built Wessyngton and founded the family there.”

Sylvan Hall was built by Joseph Philips and his wife Milbrey Horn and located outside Nashville on the Dickerson Pike.  It passed out of the Philips family by the early 20th century, and was eventually purchased in the 1960s by the congregation of the Bellshire United Methodist Church which held services there for a period of time, and then razed the house and built their church on the site at 1201 Westchester Drive intersection of Westchester Drive and Dickerson Pike) south of Old Hickory Blvd. at the first major intersection. 

The text below was written by Sadie Warner Frazer and copied from her papers located at the Tennessee State Library and Archives.

The Warner Family consisted of Father and Money, Uncle Joe, Uncle Harry, Uncle Ed (the youngest) and the rapidly growing Percy Warner family.  Uncle Harry was slight of build and very frail, practically an invalid from asthma.  Uncle Joe and Uncle Ed were both good looking and attractive and a very happy, merry part of our childhood.  They had a host of friends, young men their ages coming at the Spruce Street house at all hours of the day and night.  Even now I could name many of them.  Moving to Renraw mush have been a godsend to Uncle Harry for there he could be out of doors all day, doing little jobs that were not too strenuous for him or just sitting on some part of the wonderful porches.  He died at Renraw in the summer of 1897.  He was a lovely person, patient and long suffering.

Father was wonderful, tall and erect, with great dignity and poise, and a charm of manner (with a delightful sense of humor) that I am sure endeared him not only to his family but to others with whom he came into contact.  He always called Money “Old Lady”.  We would see him in the evenings, really late afternoons, when he returned from the office, in the big living room where we were allowed to go for what seemed to us for a very short time.  We were dressed in our best, then Venie went with us to the wide folding door where we made our entry alone.  She remained in the hall, kept an eye on us you can be sure and called “come, children” when the allotted time was up.  This was a daily procedure and how we loved it.

Father had dark red hair with lots of white around the edges and fair skin.

Money we hovered around all day, something interesting going on around Miss Mary or “Ole Miss” as she was sometimes called.  The older servants called her “Ole Miss” all the time.  She was deaf, stone deaf, they called it, the result of many abscesses when she was a young woman.  She used a trumpet, a fascinating black tube with one end that she held in her ear while the other end was held to the speaker’s mouth.  We adored talking to Money through this remarkable contrivance and even Warner Frazer, her great grandson loved nothing better than to talk through Money’s trumpet.  He called it her telephone.  Money was a dynamo of energy.  She was really indefatigable – off to market early every morning, buzzing around the kitchen and pantry, then to the greenhouse where we loved to go with her as it was filled with so many beautiful things and smelled deliciously.  By Christmas time there were large tin boxes (about twice as long as they were wide) of white hyacinths and those beautiful and fragrant freesias in full bloom and ready for the house.  The Marshall Niel rose with large creamy blossoms and very fragrant blooms in the winter, there was a very large one in the center of the greenhouse and there were always poinsettias and quantities of several shades of bougainvilleas.  The Catalonian jasmine bloomed twice a year, in mid-winter and again in mid-summer and vigorously both times.  It was always my favorite.

The family and friends that came to the Warner home were legion, Money’s kinspeople for far and wide, Father’s too, were always dropping in.  These with Uncle Joe’s and Uncle Ed’s friends and just the daily going and coming of the amily made for a very active household.  We loved the excitement of it all and needed no radio or television to make life thrilling; it went on under our roof every day.
