Frederick A. Warren
Frederick A. Warren (c. 1878 – June 18, 1944) was a justice of the South Dakota Supreme Court from January 1931 to June 18, 1944.[1]
Warren ran for a seat on the state high court in 1930, against incumbent Justice James Brown. Although the November 1930 election returns initially showed Warren losing by 83 votes, Warren sought a recount which was concluded in January 1931, and led to Warren being declared the winner by 254 votes out of nearly 127,000 cast.[2]
Warren remained on the court until his death from a heart attack at the age of 66. He died while reading his mail at home in Pierre, South Dakota, having previously gone to church and his office that day.[3]
