JOHN P. CULL ARIZONA-THE YOUNGEST STATE 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 and is a son of S. T. and Minerva Cull, to whom there were born eleven children, eight still living, our subject being the sixth in 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 1807 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 also established the general mercantile store he is still conducting. There are two other 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 & 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 Hennsinger, a native of Kansas, who was reared in California, where she removed with her parents in early childhood1 The family later settled in Bisbee, in which city her parents' still reside, the father 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. use the back button on your browser to return, to the main page .thank you Thank You Sandra
