  GEORGE McFALL is a product of Missouri, born in Gentry County April 17, 1861,
and the son of John and Martha (Sylvia) McFall, natives of Kentucky and Missouri
and of Scotch and German origin respectively. The father was a most successful
stockman and farmer, and on the home place young George grew to sturdy manhood,
assisting in tilling the soil and in stock raising until twenty-one years old.
He then went to Emporia, Kan., was engaged in shipping and stock raising for
five years, but during that time made several trips to Texas and Indian
Territory. Later he carried on business at Emporia and Dodge City, met with
unusual success and in 1887 went to Colorado, where he was in business at La
Junta and Pueblo. He is still engaged in the stock business and is also
interested in mines in Colorado, and is engaged in shipping from the
above-mentioned places. In the month of October, 1888, Mr. McFall came to
Dragoon Summit, north from Tombstone, and brought about two hundred and fifty
head of cattle. Leaving the cattle at that point he came to Phoenix and engaged
in farming, contracting and stock raising. In the year 1894 he began mining as a
business though, and is now giving almost his entire time and attention to it.
He was married near Independence in 1881 to Miss Mary E. Polsgrove, of St. Joe,
Mo., and they have five children—John S., George D., Harry E., Leland E. and
Gillian L. E. Mr. McFall is a member of Phoenix Lodge, No. 2, Knights of
Pythias: Phoenix Lodge, No. 5, Ancient Order United Workmen, and Phoenix Lodge,
No. 5, Woodmen of the World. Mr. McFall resides in Phoenix, and carries on his
mining operations in Yavapai and Pima Counties.
