Willard Clinton Warren II

Willard Clinton Warren II, 86, of Fryeburg, Maine, died April 13, 2009 at Seal Rock
Health Care Center in Saco where he had been residing for the past few years.Willard
was born July 24, 1922, in New Canaan, Conn., the son of Barbara Matlack and Keith
Faulkner Warren, and great grandson of Augustus Stephens, former mayor of Portland.
Known throughout his life as "Brub", according to his brother, Timothy, a nurse at the
time of his birth gave him the name, Brub, which stuck with him throughout his life.At a
young age, the family summered in the Lovell, Maine area, returning to the area where
his mother's family had lived for generations. They vacationed at Conifer beside Lake
Kezar for many years before permanently moving to Lovell in the early 1930s. For
several years they lived at a farmhouse on Conifer property called Spartan Range.
While living at Conifer the Warren children were home schooled. Once the move to
Lovell Village was completed in 1934, with a homestead being purchased in 1935,
Willard and his siblings were able to walk to school to attend and graduate from the
Annie Heald School in the Village.Prior to attending Fryeburg Academy, Willard was
fortunate to have the sort of childhood one reads about in this modern age. He fished
behind the house, swam, mountain climbed, hunted porcupines for the 25 cent bounty,
caddied at the golf course, and still found time to do his share of chores to help
around the house such as splitting and stacking the wood for the various stoves and
fireplaces. Even with those responsibilities, Willard, became the editor of Lovell's local
newspaper at the time, The Lovell News.While attending Fryeburg Academy, he met
his future wife, Jean Stanley Cameron. Willard played football, and developed his love
of skiing which he enjoyed throughout most of his life. Upon graduation from the
Academy, Willard attended Bowdoin College where he studied and received his
degree in economics. He was a member of the Alpha Tau Omega Fraternity while at
Bowdoin. During his last semester, he enlisted in the U.S. Army Air Corps to serve his
country during World War II. He served on bases throughout the islands of the South
Pacific, only to be sent home due to a medical condition and for further
rehabilitation.Upon his return, Willard returned to Bowdoin to complete his degree. At
the same time, Jean and Willard became engaged, and were married Aug. 26, 1946. A
wonderful wedding and reception were held at Jean's parent's estate in Fryeburg,
Highland Park. Following the marriage, Willard and Jean moved to Boston where
Willard attended further courses at Bentley College, and went to work as part of the
third generation working for Warren Publications as the assistant treasurer. In later
years, Willard moved to West Virginia and Pennsylvania to work as a manager for
Pro-Con with Jean's father, George Cameron. Upon completion of those jobs, Willard
moved his family to the caretakers house at Highland Park and embarked on his
career as an accountant.In 1957, Willard became part of the Mount and Carter, an
accounting firm in Boston. Throughout his accounting career, his firms merged and
eventually became the Boston office of KPMG Peat Marwick, from where he retired at
the senior tax principle in the early 1980s. He managed to commute to Boston during
the week until his retirement, and still have time for family life while at home in
Fryeburg. Skiing, hiking, picnics, the Saturday night dancing, as well as the more than
40 years of the traditional Sunday morning golf game, all made for relaxing while home
in Maine.After retirement, Willard continued to remain active, traveling the globe with
his wife, his weekly golf game, as well as donating service to his community. For many
years he served as a treasurer of the First Congregational Church, trustee at Fryeburg
Academy, as well as participating in an active role on the Capital Campaign for the
building of a new science building, where a classroom is named after he and his wife.
He also served as the treasurer of the Western Oxford County Agricultural Society for
20 years. Under his guidance, with help from his daughter, he computerized the
accounting and payroll systems to improve the efficiency of that organization.Willard is

daughter, Hannah Warren and her husband, Lewis Chasteen, of Fryeburg; his brother,
Timothy Matlack Warren and his wife, Phyllis, of Topsham, Maine; a granddaughter,
