Lindsay Carter Warren Jr. | Eastern North Carolina Now

    Lindsay Carter Warren Jr. was born on October 8, 1924 in Washington, as the first son of Lindsay Carter Warren and Emily Harris Warren.

    He was educated in the public schools of Washington through the 11th grade when the family moved to our nation's capital. He graduated from Woodrow Wilson High School in 1942, and in the fall of that year enrolled as a freshman in the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. After completing his freshman year, he enlisted in the U. S. Coast Guard.

    Later commissioned as an Ensign he served for 18 months during World War II on the U.S.S. Wakefield (AP-21) in the Atlantic, Mediterranean and Pacific theaters of operation. Upon completion of this service he re-enrolled at UNC, graduating in 1948 with a B.S. degree in Commerce. In 1951, he received his J.D. degree, with Honors from UNC School of Law. While in law school he served as associate editor of the UNC Law Review and was elected to the Order of the Coif and Phi Delta Phi.

    Upon being licensed to practice law in North Carolina, Warren joined the law firm of Langston, Allen and Taylor in Goldsboro. He practiced law as a general civil practitioner for over fifty years with that firm, now known as Warren Kerr Walston Taylor and Smith LLP. Through his retirement, he remained a member of the N.C. State Bar, the N.C. Bar Association and the American Bar Association.

    The Warren family is so grateful for all of the loving care Lindsay received at Wayne Memorial Hospital, at Kitty Askins Hospice Center and from wonderful friends.
