  GEORGE ARANTZ, son of Phillip and Rebecea (Zweir) Arantz, natives of
Pennsylvania, was born in Lebanon, Pa., September, 1850.

  He received a common education at the schools to which he had access, worked
for his father until June, 1880, when he located in Decatur, and engaged
extensively in the manufacture of lumber. He was probably the first man to
introduce the band-saw in Alabama for the purpose of working heavy timber. He
manufactures all sorts of lumber for building purposes, giving special attention
to hardwood and finishing stuff.
