Schwartz Philip

Philip Schwartz, arriving to White Oaks New Mexico September of 1892 at the age of 41 years old, his wife Clara Schwartz 37., his son Leo Schwartz 7. Mr. Schwartz a dry goods business man, and has leased a store room formally occupied by Arnold Ridgeway. See Here Mr. Schwartz firmly believes that riches are to be made through printers ink, and he plans on going through Kegs of printers ink. See Here Mr. Schwartz in May of 1893 becomes the full owner of Philip & Bro giving his brother Herman Schwartz full ownership of their business in Baird Texas and expects to concentrate his capital and energies to this district. Mr. Schwartz’s foresightedness will be well rewarded. He is now in the East purchasing his spring and summer stock of goods. C.D. Parnham, a first class watch maker of Kansas City, is expected here in a day or two and will establish himself in Phil Schwartz store. See advertisement.

It appears Mr. Schwartz might be having a problem making his lease to Arnold Ridgeway. By order of the Court, J.F> Carpenter, assignee of Philip Schwartz is now selling out the immense stock of dry goods, clothing, hats, trunks, valises; in fact everything at prices regardless of cost and profits. Great chance, that. See news clipping A few weeks later Phil takes possession of his store again. See Here Within 1 month of regaining his store back, Mr. Schwartz moves into the handsome store room in the Watson Block formally the old Post Office building. See Full article

News Spreads to Santa Fe New Mexico

Sept, 1894, Constable Langston took Phil Schwartz and Rosenthal to County Jail and no bond was postedSee full article here

This is the last information found on Philip Schwartz.. The theft occurred on about Aug 1894 and the last record above is dated Sept, 1897. However, because the 1900 census shows Philip in Dallas Texas, I can only conclude that if they spent time in jail it was from about Oct 1897 through Oct 1899.
