Frederick Fiske Warren (July 3, 1862 – February 2, 1938) was a successful paper manufacturer, fine arts doyen, United States tennis champion of 1893, and major supporter of Henry George's single tax system which he helped develop in Harvard, Massachusetts, United States, in the 1930s. Fiske Warren established Georgist single-tax colonies and a social experiment in Andorra to disprove Malthus's population theory.
Early life
Known throughout his life simply as "Fiske Warren," he was the son of Samuel Dennis Warren and Susan Cornelia (Clarke) Warren of Beacon Hill, Boston. His father was the owner of the S. D. Warren Paper Co. in Westbrook, Maine. Born in Waltham, Massachusetts on July 3, 1862, Fiske was raised in a mansion on 67 Mount Vernon Street on Beacon Hill in Boston. He had four siblings: Samuel Dennis Warren II (1852–1910), U.S. Attorney; Henry Clarke Warren (1854–1899), scholar of Sanskrit and Pali; Edward Perry Warren (1860–1928), collector of Warren cup and Cornelia Lyman Warren who was a philanthropist. As part of a philanthropic and well educated family, the Warren brothers and sister all enjoyed tranquil childhoods growing up between the family homes in Boston and Waltham, also known as "Cedar Hill".
Married life
On May 14, 1891, he married Gretchen Osgood, daughter of Dr. Hamilton and Margaret Cushing (Pearmain) Osgood at Trinity Church in Boston. The Rev. Dr. Phillips Brooks performed the ceremony. The Osgoods were a well-known Beacon Hill family that claimed a direct genealogical line to Anne Hutchinson and John Quincy Adams. Their country house in Harvard, Massachusetts, was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1996.
Fiske Warren died at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston on February 2, 1938.
