He was married to Anna Fox, who was born Feb. 24, 1806. George was a miller by trade which occupation he followed a number of years, but later in life purchased a farm near State College, Pa., and devoted his remaining days to farm- ing. He was a man of excellent qualities, intelligent, honest, social and industrious. He labored zealouslj" for the pro- motion of every good cause in his neighborhood, and the welfare of the church and the school were especially dear to his heart. In conversation he was both instructive and entertaining. Politically he was a staunch Democrat.
