Sitting for the camera in early Globe BY DAVID SOWDERS Assistant Editor In late 2020, this faded picture of eight mounted cowboys in the streets of Globe was discovered in the Arizona Silver Belt offices. The photographer’s identity is unknown, but some of the men pictured became prominent Gila County ranchers. According to Guy and Donna Anderson’s 1976 book, “Honor the Past… Mold the Future,” the photo was taken at the corner of Cedar and Broad Streets in 1883. Among the eight cowboys was John C. Gibson, fourth from left in the photo. Born in Llano County, Texas in 1867, Gibson came from a ranching family who made the move to Globe around 1878. After cowboying for several area ranches and working for the Superior and Boston Mine, he bought several spreads including the JI Ranch east of Superior. By 1920 his land stretched from Pinal Creek to below Superior, and from Mineral Creek to Haunted Canyon. Marion Horrell, fifth from left, was part of another well-known ranching family that included his brothers Ed and C.W., with outfits north of Globe and in the Pinto Creek area. Behind the men stands Globe’s original Methodist church, St. Paul’s Methodist Episcopal (now St. Paul’s United Methodist). It all started in 1879 with Rev. J.J. Wingar, who walked 35 miles from the town of Pinal to conduct services. A church building was dedicated in 1880 and served congregations until it was torn down in 1927. The current building was dedicated in 1928 and still holds the original bell, known as “God’s Alarm Clock.” In 1883, when the cowboys posed for their photo, the church’s minister was Rev. William George. 24 Gateway to the Copper Corridor 2022
