James I. Garner Prescott Arizona, The Youngest State, 1913 James I. Gardner has been continuously and successfully engaged in business as a general merchant of Prescott for the past three decades and in this connection enjoys a gratifying and liberal patronage. He is a native of Missouri and came to Prescott in 1879, here becoming identified with mining and other pursuits. In October 1883 he opened a general mercantile establishment which he has conducted continuously to the present time. He has well merited the extensive trade accorded him for he carries a large and carefully selected stock of goods at reasonable prices and has put forth every effort to meet the demands and wishes of his patrons. In 1891 Mr. Gardner was united in marriage to Miss Rebecca Bell of Warrensburg, Missouri by whom he has two children.
