     George Peyton Smith, a brother of James Hulme, and the other member of the

firm of Smith Brothers, was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on May 17, 1856,

and was educated at Swathmore College.  For some years he was associated with

his father, and later with Lewis Brothers in the dry-goods business.  His health

failed, and in 1884 he joined his brother James in the stock industry in this

state, and since then he has made his home here.  He is vice-president of the

Mesa County State Bank, of which he was one the founders.  He is well and widely

known throughout the West as a leading stock man and has for years been actively

connected with the management of the American Cattle-Growers’ Association, being

president of the local branch.  In politics he is a Republican, but is not an

active partisan; and in fraternal relations belongs to the Elks’ lodge at Grand

Junction.
