FINN, Thomas L., manager of the Warner Randolph Company, Incorporated, is one of the substantial men of Virginia. This company was incorporated in 1908 with a capital stock of $50,000, by Horace Warner, C. R. Randolph and Alice Weinstein, the first named being president; Mr. Randolph, vice president, and Alice Weinstein, secretary and treasurer as well as a director. there have been some changes since then, the present officers being: Horace Warner, president and treasurer; Thomas Oddy, vice president; and Alice Weinstein, secretary. This company owns and operates several stores, the one at Virginia being under the direct management of Thomas L. Finn, who was born at Virginia, Ill., October 27, 1882, a son of John and Alvina (Thompson) Finn.

After passing through the grammar school, Mr. Finn took the high school course, and was graduated therefrom in 1900. At once he entered upon a mercantile life and has since been identified with this line of endeavor. his fraternal associations are with the Modern Woodmen of America, which order he joined at Ashland, and the Red Men, which he joined at Virginia, and he is chief of records of the latter. On January 1, 1905, Mr. Finn was united in marriage with Mabel Cooper, a daughter of George and Ida (Gaines) Cooper. The one child of this marriage, Thelma, born November 2, 1907, died April 14, 1913. Mr. Finn is admittedly one of the leading spirits of Virginia, and his influence in business and social circles is felt and acted upon.
