Thomas D. "T. D." Wardell
Former Mayor of El Paso
Member of the First City Council of El Paso/Derby
Hardware Merchant 1888 - 1931
Description
An account of the resource
Term as Mayor <br />1917 - 1921 <br /><br />Term as El Paso City Council Member At Large <br />Jun. 1903 - Apr. 1905 <br />
<p>Thomas D. Wardell came to El Paso around 1878 as a young man at age 20. Like many other people who arrived during El Paso’s early years, he came from Tuscarawas Township, Ohio, the former home of El Paso co-founder, J.H. Minnich, who promoted the new town heavily to residents of his previous home state.</p>
<p>Being young and single, T.D. Wardell was probably in search of a place to make his fortune, as he is found in the 1880 U.S. census living in Leadville, Colorado, a hot-spot due to its active mining. But his occupation is listed as a farmer in the census instead of a miner, while apparently living in a boarding house with other young men, some of whom did work in the mines. And, like most of those hoping to strike it rich in Colorado, Wardell didn’t stay long.</p>
T.D. Wardell was back in Rockford Township, Kansas, by 1885, where he had married Carrie Moon and they had a one-year-old son. Carrie was the daughter of one of Sedgwick County’s early settlers, Arnold Moon, who preempted his quarter-section farm in 1871, three miles east of the new town of El Paso. Unfortunately, Carrie died a few months after the census was taken in 1885. Wardell remarried two years later, to Carrie’s older sister, Hester Moon, who had also been married previously. <br /><br />

Historic Landmarks
Description
An account of the resource
Since most structures still standing today date back only a few decades, the planning of Derby’s sesquicentennial celebration in 2019 prompted discussions about how to best tell Derby’s story.
Landmark signs were determined to be the best way to commemorate Derby’s origin as a farming community of people who value family and faith (1869-1949) to its boomtown period (1950-1979) of building homes and schools, its suburban growth (1980-1999) with parks and a cutting-edge recreation commission, and finally to its coming of age as a regional center (2000-2019) with shopping and services to meet most community needs. Visiting the seven Derby Landmarks will provide a thorough education about Derby’s first 150 years.

Description
An account of the resource
On July 11, 1871, J. Hout Minnich and John Hufbauer filed a town plat for El Paso in Sedgwick County, Kansas. It established streets from Madison to Kay and from Water Street to Georgie Avenue, and business boomed.
Around the turn of the century, most buildings in downtown El Paso were on Baltimore Avenue between Main and Washington streets, and many changed uses or owners as the city progressed. An example is T. D. Wardell Hardware, first located on the first floor of Odd Fellows Hall and then moved west across the street to its own building on the property where you are standing.
Note the evolution of the Farmers & Merchants Bank building’s facade. After the bank currently located at Market and Baltimore was built, the original bank building was sold to El Paso Water Company, then several years later to a realtor and then back to the bank. It was torn down to accommodate expansion and parking. The block between Market and Washington had barbers, dry goods, groceries and other services. The Sickler brothers were two of the proprietors.
South of Market Street were the Independent Oil Company and Gertie’s Café. Near the center of the block was H. Jones General Store, which later became Lock Edwards Grocery, and then in the 1930s Chet Smith Grocery and Locker. In 2019, this building now houses professional offices. Just south of Kay Street was the grain elevator and nearby railroad depot, which occupied three locations over the years.
On the east side were the Odd Fellows Hall and Davidson & Case Lumber Company. This site later became the Trading Post Lumber Yard for a number of years and in 2019 is occupied by the Baltimore Market Place. In the early days, the post office was a pigeon-hole cabinet in the front of someone’s store, and as the community grew, it expanded and moved locations several times.
A hotel on Washington Street was built in the late 1800s, and in 1904 the Weston family purchased it. In the very early days, a public horse watering trough was in the middle of Baltimore at Washington. The original Catholic mission church was south at Kay Street. Just to your north, the First Presbyterian Church remains at its original location, although the 1879 building was replaced in 1926 and again in 1990.
