GEORGE H. FOREE, a Lakeport merchant, was born in Solano County, California, in
July, 1853, and was early left an orphan. He first graduated at Lincoln Grammar
School in San Francisco and afterward at Heald's Business College in the same
city. He was then for several years engaged in various occupations,-bookkeeping,
clerking in a store and mining; in the latter he was employed about seven years,
in Siskiyou, Klamath and El Dorado counties. In 1883 he went to Lakeport, Lake
County and bought the hardware store of Tate & Co., and has ever since been
engaged in that trade, with varying fortune. His store has been twice burned,-in
1885 and 1887; and his dwelling was burned in August, 1888, the fire in each
case catching fron adjoining buildings. He is still a bachelor, but his sister
has resided with him since his first arrival in Lakeport.
