[In Montana,probably around 1912, he was made an honorary member of the Blackfeet Indian Tribe and given the tribal name of "Elk Tongue." See below, for date may be wrong.]
The family came to Detroit in 1897 where Warren was superintendant of Senet-Solvay Co and lived on Grosse Ile. Following WWI, they removed to Troy, NY where he was with Hudson Valley Coke.
Even after moving East, he returned often to aid in overseeing The Great Falls Iron Works, and continued a long relationship with the leaders of the Blackfoot Indians. Early in the 1930's, near Glacier Park, he was elected to honorary membership in the tribe and given the name "Elk Tongue."
For fifty years, he was a leader in the coke industry and served in Washington DC on the War Production Board in WWI. He was an industry spokesman against John L Lewis and championed the single-tax plan of economist Henry George. Warren retired in 1938 as VP of the Hudson Valley Steel Co. in Schenectady, NY and moved to Ann Arbor, MI, where his wife died in 1944.
His love of his family and its history initiated a collection of books, bibles, letters and genealogies of ancestors and cousins which we have inherited.
As family archivist,he contributed much information to the Blauvelt Genealogy published in 1957. The copy I use, was his and his envelopes marking pertinent pages and preserving his notes remain where he placed them. Warren Scott died before I married his namesake,but we have spent a lot of time together as I have taken up his pursuit, adding the internet to his library.
