  Note by Jim E on 28 FEB 2014. See: http://njbottles.com/index.php?topic=6425.0 (Richard) Warren has a long history bottling in Paterson dating back to 1879 starting with the William S. Kinch Company, then in 1882 he went into business under his name with Kinch and Arthur Donnely as "Richard Warren & Co." until 1889, at which time the name changed to "Richard Warren Co." and Arthur Donnely is no longer part of the company. They remained in business as such until at least 1899, the business was at 89-91-93 Prospect St. in the city. In 1899 William S. Carr is listed as President of the company and Richard Warren as treasurer, his son is listed as Secretary. Richard Warren and William Carr lived around the corner from each other; one at 615 East 18th Street and the other at 423 Broadway.
  Census	1900	423 Broadway, Paterson, Passaic, New Jersey, USA
  William S Carr (45) was shown living at 423 Broadway, Paterson, NY with his wife, Eliza A (45) and children: Arthur C (18), Florence M (17), William A (12), Elizabeth D (10), Clara A (9), Edith T (7), Helen D (5) and Louis D (11 months). William's home was down the street from a coal tipple at 443/445 Broadway - which would have made coal dust omnipresent in the home & neighborhood! His employment was shown as a Foreman at a locomotive shop while his son Arthur was a clerk for the Erie Railroad. All the other…. William very likely worked at one of the several locomotive works in the vicinity of Spruce & Market streets in Paterson: Rogers Locomotive and Machine Works, Grant Locomotive Works (out of business by 1885), or Danforth & Cook Locomotive Works (by 1901 part of American Locomotive Company). The locomotive facilities were collocated, less than 1.4-miles from William's home at 423 Broadway - a 28-minute walk. See: http://patersongreatfalls.org/rogers.html

  William's family increased by one since the 1900 Census with Henry Parke born in August 1900. Henry's middle name was without the "e" in later documents. Four children are employed outside the house: Arthur is an engineer, Florence is a teacher, William in the same illegible profession (freemason?) as his father, and Elizabeth is a nurse in a hospital. William continued to work as a foreman at a locomotive works. As noted on the 1900 Census, the works was probably in the area of Spruce & Market streets. Grant works was no longer in business.

  William's (65) employment was as an engineer, but the nature of that work is not legible on the record. It is possible he was either a design engineer at the locomotive works where he had previously been a foreman, or was an engineer for a railroad.
