S.D. Warren, in addition to owning the paper mill in Westbrook, Maine, was an early proponent of humane treatment for his workers. He built for his workers, safe, affordable housing, a library, schools and public meeting areas. His ideas were so revolutionary for their time, he was asked to testify before Congress. His generous nature meant he was well-liked by all his workers and his death was truly mourned.
