William A. Paxton
William A. Paxton (1837 – July 18, 1907) was an American pioneer businessman and politician in Omaha, Nebraska. His life as a rancher and cattleman early in his life, as well as early work with the Union Pacific Railroad was highly regarded among his contemporaries; his success as a businessman later in his life led him to great wealth.〔Larsen, L. and Cotrell, B.J. (1997) ''The Gate City: A history of Omaha.'' University of Nebraska Press. p 72.〕 His leadership is seen as an essential factor in Omaha becoming a prominent stockyards and meatpacking center.〔(1957) ("Stock Yards Firm Encouraged Packers to Locate Here; William A. Paxton Had Key Role in Founding Industry" ), ''Omaha's First Century.'' Supplement to the ''Omaha World-Herald''. Retrieved 5/29/08.〕 He is frequently referred to as "the ''real'' founder of South Omaha."〔(Street Names ), Douglas County Historical Society. Retrieved 5/29/08.〕
==Early life==
Paxton was born in Kentucky and raised there until age twelve when his family moved to Missouri. Employed by a local farmer, by the age of fifteen he started his own business breaking prairie sod for new settlers in the area. Paxton worked as a farm manager until he was 25.〔(1999) ("William A. Paxton" ), Nebraska Department of Education. Retrieved 5/29/08.〕
