Inscription.

Matt Warner left home in 1879 at age 15, thinking he had killed a rival in a fight over a girl. He lived his early life on the outlaw trail as a bandit & rustler & was sent to prison on Sept. 21, 1896. Matt was pardoned by Governor Wells on Jan. 21, 1900. He settled in Price & spent his remaining 38 years as a productive member of society: serving as deputy sheriff, justice of the peace, detective & night policeman. In 1912 he ran for sheriff but was defeated because he ran under his real name of Willard Christiansen & nobody knew who that was. Matt lived in this house until his death on Dec. 21, 1938.

Erected 1997 by E Clampus Vitus - Matt Warner Chapter #1900.
