Book excerpt:
Tombstone in History, Romance and Wealth – 1903
Pioneer Merchant and Representative Citizen – Honor of Tombstone’s Oldest Resident.
Throughout the industrial life of this region there are few examples of success through sheer personal ability that can compare with the business career of Paul B. Warnekros. By energy, perseverance and integrity in all his dealings, he has built up a mercantile establishment that extends its trade throughout the county and is a credit to the city of its location. Mr. Warnekros is preeminently Tombstone’s pioneer, being the first settler among those now living here. Although this city has seen dark and cheerless days since he first chose it as his home, he has never entertained the least doubt that the once great mining camp was still potent of success, and that her future was assured. He has never flagged in his efforts to organize measures that would bring Tombstone’s dormant energies to the attention of those who could reopen her mines, and has ever sought to infuse trust in those who would have doubt. He came to Tombstone in March, 1878, and from the beginning was recognized as one of its most progressive spirits. He has been elected mayor, and justified the trust reposed in him by giving the city a clean and able administration. Although his commercial and mining interests have occupied his time to the exclusion of any active participation in politics, he has ever remained alert to the interest of his community, and has always been prominently identified with any movement tending to it advancement. His business is much wider in its scope than the average mercantile establishment, comprising an extensive stock of farming implements and the innumerable miscellaneous articles required to supply the demands of the mining industry. Among other local property holdings, he owns Schieffellin Hall, which, in addition to its historic associations, is one of the largest o Tombstone’s buildings. Mr. Warnekros comes of sturdy Teuton stock and is fifty-three years of age. He is a substantial and public spirited citizen in all that the term implies, and deserves the esteem in which he is held by the people of Tombstone and Cochise county.
