   GEORGE J. DOMINICK, merchant of Greensboro, Ala., was born in Perry county,
Ala., October 12, 1857. He is a son of Martin Dominick, who was born in Bibb
county, Ala., in 1820, and now resides in Perry county, where he has lived for
many years, devoting his time to farming. He has been for many years a local
preacher in the Methodist Episcopal church, south. Previous to the Civil war he
was a very extensive and successful planter, but since then his farming has been
less extensive and remunerative. His father, Jacob Dominick, came from South
Carolina, and was of German extraction. He settled in Bibb county upon coming to
Alabama, and there lived the rest of his life. Martin Dominick married in early
life and settled in Perry county. His wife was a Miss Martha Thomas of Perry
county, born and reared near where he now resides. They had three daughters and
five sons reach maturity. George J. Dominick, one of these sons, received a fair
education, and remained with his father on the farm until he was twenty-one
years of age. He then began clerking in Greensboro, and in 1882 he and his
brother, R. B., went into business for themselves in Greensboro. In 1884 George
J. sold out his interest and went to Anniston, where he carried on mercantile
business a short time, when he sold out on account of ill health. In 1884 he
returned to Greensboro, and has since that time lived in that place, engaged in
mercantile pursuits, doing an average annual business of about $20,000. He also
owns a plantation, and has carried on farming as well as merchandising for the
past two years. He is a member of the Methodist Episcopal church, south, and of
the order of Knights of Pythias. In 1881 he married Miss Olive Griffin of Perry
county, by whom he had four children. She died in December, 1891.
