George Henninger, of the Fifth Street Market Club House, is as busy as ever in looking after the wants of his friends. There is no question, we believe, that George gives more comfort for a nickel than any other man in town.

A New Place.

Geo. Heninger has opened a new place on Main street, between Ninth and Tenth, and named it the St. George. An opening will be in progress the remainder of this month, and until further notice.

2 May 1885

It is evident that the threatened war on the Atchison saloons will soon break out; the temperance people are holding secret meetings, and preparing for action. Yesterday a committee called upon County Attorney Gilbert, and complained that one, George Henninger, was violating the prohibitory liquor law at his place of business on Main street. Mr. Gilbert issued subpoenas for witnesses to appear at his office this afternoon at 2 o'clock, when the Henninger matter will be inquired into. Mr. Gilbert was seen by a reporter this morning, but he refused to give the names of the complainants, stating that they desired to remain in the dark, and that he had promised not to give their names.

John P. Cull

John P. Cull is one of the prosperous representatives of commercial interests in Douglas and Courtland where for eight years he has owned and operated general mercantile stores. He was born in California in 1873, the son of S.T.and Minerva Cull, to whom there were born eleven children, eight still living, our subject being the sixth in the order of birth.

The early years of John P. Cull were passed in his native state, where he acquired a common school education and subsequently devoted his energies to agricultural pursuits. In 1897 he came to Arizona, first locating in Wilcox, whence he later removed to Bisbee and there he engaged in general merchandising with a Mr. Anderson, under the firm name of Anderson & Cull. For six years he gave his undivided attention to the development of the business in which he met with a good measure of success. In January 1908, he disposed of his interest in the establishment and removed to Courtland, where he purchased a half block of land in the business district and erected thereon five store rooms and a hotel and similar concerns in the town, but as he carries a large and well assorted stock, is reasonable in his prices and is most considerate of his customers, he enjoys a large patronage, his being one of the thriving commercial enterprises of that vicinity. He is a stockholder in the Miners and Merchants Bank of Bisbee and has other financial interests in that city. In 1914 Mr. Cull established his present grocery store in Douglas, which is one of the leading establishments of its kind there and he carries a full and select line of groceries. He now makes his home in Douglas.

In 1904 Mr. Cull was married to Miss Minnie Henninger, a native of Kansas, who was reared in California, where she removed with her parents in early childhood. The family later settled in Bisbee in which city her parents still reside, the father [George Henninger] owning and operating a cigar factory there.

Mr. Cull belongs to the Knights of Pythias fraternity, in which he has held all of the chairs, and he is also a member of the Benevolent Protective Order of Elks. His allegiance in matters politic he accords to the democratic party, considering its policy to be best adapted to sub serve the highest interests of the majority. The success which has attended the efforts of Mr. Cull is the result of intelligently organized methods and well defined purpose. He conducts his business along progressive lines and is' always more than willing to keep abreast of modern improvements. In matters of citizenship he is public-spirited, extending his endorsement to every worthy enterprise and assisting in promoting all movements the adoption of which he feels will advance the well being of the community at large and contribute toward the moral, intellectual or material development of its residents.

...He [Fred Stephan] was born at Atchison December 6, 1863. His father, Fred Stephan, Sr., was born at Wiesville [Weisweil] on the Rhine in Baden, learned the trade of carpenter and cabinet maker, and when a young man came to America and found his first employment as a journeyman steamboat builder at St. Louis. He had a sweetheart in Baden, Mary Henninger, who followed him to America and they were married in St. Louis. Her mother also came to this country and is buried at Atchison. After a few years Fred Stephan, Sr., went to farming east of Atchison, but the land he cultivated has long since been ravaged and carried away by the Missouri River. Soon after taking up his residence at Atchison he enlisted as a Union soldier and served two or more years. He was also a member of the city police force, but in the main he followed carpentry throughout his active life. He died at Atchison April 1, 1909, at the age of eighty years. His children were: George, who died at Atchison when a young man; Mrs. Carrie Fiss, of Atchison; Mary, wife of Albert Fiss, of Atchison; Fred; Katie, wife of F. C. Lechler, of St. Joseph, Missouri; Paul, who died unmarried at Atchison; Michael, who also died at Atchison....
