GEORGE W. LANGAN, an attorney at Livermore, was born in East Saginaw, Michigan,
February 17, 1849, and was taken by his parents to Wellsboro, Pennsylvania, in
their change of residence to that place, where he grew up and was educated. He
graduated at the Mansfield State Normal School in the class of 1870. Within two
years after that he completed the course of study in the law, being admitted to
the bar December 5, 1872. He then came to the Pacific coast and for five years
was engaged as teacher in the public schools, at Steilacoom, Washington; Walnut
Creek, Contra Costa County; River District and Lodi, San Joaquin County,
California. In 1877 he was admitted to the higher court, of the latter State,
and commenced the practice of law at Oakland, where he remained until 1880, when
he finally went and located permanently at Livermore, where he has since been a
prominent and successful lawyer.

  Mr. Langan was a soldier of the late war, enlisting February 26, 1864, in the
Sixteenth United States Infantry for the term of three years. Re served one
year, under General Sherman on his march to the sea, as a private, and the
remainder of the term as a musican, having been honorably discharged February
26, 1867, at Augusta, Georgia, and he is now a prominent member of Lou Morris
Post, No. 47, G. A. R. In addition to his law practice he is interested in
viticulture, owning a profitable vineyard near Livermore.

  He was married at Livermore, October 3, 1883, to Miss Luella Mendenhall, and
now has three children: Philip M., Chester G. and Verula.
