Charles R. Warren was the Headmaster of the Warren Training School in 1908-1909. He was the coach and second baseman for the school's baseball team in 1909. Warren was reputed to be an excellent baseball player. He also played on Chatham's Countyseat Giants baseball team in 1912 (see photo), which posted a record of 14 wins and 2 losses. In the photo, Warren is in the center.

I assume the Warren Training School was named after Charles Warren or his father (or grandfather). Prior to 1908-1909, the school operated out of an old tobacco factory behind the Episcopal Church in Chatham.

Note: The Warren Training School was the precedessor to the Chatham Training School, which in turn was the predecessor to Hargrave Military Academy.
