GEORGE TANDY, JR., a harness manufacturer of Madison, is one of the old and
respected citizens of the place. His parents, George and Belle (McFedgen) Tandy,
were natives of Ireland and remained there all their lives; the father died in
18 — , and was a cabinet-maker by trade; the mother died in 1868. The subject of
this sketch was born in Dublin, Ireland, and in 1868 he came to America, and by
the Isthmus of Panama to California, having a voyage of about three weeks to San
Francisco. He went directly to Buckeye, now Madison, where he has since
remained. He learned his trade in Dublin, serving seven years as an apprentice.
He is a member of Madison Lodge, No. 253, F. & A. M., and of Madison Lodge, No.
150, O. C. F.

  Mr. Tandy was united in marriage with Miss Maggie O'Brien, who was born in
Ireland, and they have two children, viz.: George W., now Justice of the Peace
for Capay Valley and manager of a harness shop there; and Belle, now the wife of
W. Berry, in San Francisco.
