GEORGE WARMACK


George Warmack is a partner in the firm of Warmack Brothers, conducting an extensive and profitable wholesale, flour and feed business in Fort Smith, the firm acting also as sole representatives in this district for the Majestic Milling Company of Aurora, Missouri, which they represent in the states of Arkansas, Oklahoma and Texas. George Warmack was born in Whitfield, Georgia, in 1875, his parents being Jesse and Winnie (James) Warmack. The father successfully operated a cotton gin, corn mill and planing mill in Georgia and in connection therewith he cultivated two hundred and eighty acres of land. His business interests were thus extensive and important and contributed to the progress and development of the community in which he lived as well as to the upbuilding of his individual fortunes. At the time of the Civil war, however, he put aside all business and personal considerations and joined the Confederate army in defense of his loved southland, serving with the cavalry forces throughout the period of hostilities. Wherever he was known he was highly esteemed by reason of his business ability and his sterling worth of character. To Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Warmack there were born three sons and two daughters, of whom one son, Elbert, is now deceased.

The surviving sons, George and John, are associated in business under the firm style of Warmack Brothers. George Warmack was reared and educated in Georgia and twenty years ago, or in 1901, he left his native state and removed to Arkansas, settling in Huntington, where he became associated with the Central Coal & Coke Company, continuing in the employ of that concern for five years. On the expiration of that period he began selling flour for the Rea-Reed Milling Company of Tulsa, Oklahoma, with which he was connected for two years. In 1908 he joined forces with the Majestic Milling Company of Aurora, Missouri, and has since been a representative of that corporation. He and his brother John are the sole representatives of the company in the states of Arkansas, Oklahoma and Texas and together they have built up a very large business, handling flour and all mill products. Their trade is now very extensive and constitutes a gratifying source of income to the partners.

George Warmack was married in September, 1905, to Miss Grace Davis of Huntington, Arkansas, and they have become the parents of two children: Edward, seven years of age; and Ruth, a little maiden of four summers.

Mr. Warmack is a Mason, belonging to the lodge at Huntington, and is a loyal follower of the teachings and purposes of the craft. His entire course has been marked by fidelity to duty, by loyalty in friendship and by faithfulness in citizenship and his many sterling qualities have established him high in public regard.
