Author: Portrait/Bio Album, Whiteside County IL 1885

George F. Shuler is a farmer of Sterling Township and is located on section 9. 
His parents, John G. and Christian (Bristle) Shuler, were born in Germany and 
passed their whole lives in their native country. Four of their six children 
lived to maturity and were named George F., John G., Anna M. and Mathias. Mr. 
Shuler was born April 26, 1835, in Germany, and at 18 came to America, leaving 
his native land forever in 1853. He went first to Butler Co., Ohio, where he 
remained eight months, after which he came to Whiteside County, arriving in 
the State of Illinois in August, 1854. He was a farm laborer until 1856, when 
he bought 40 acres of land, which is now included in his fine farm in Sterling 
Township, and is on section 9. His estate comprises 530 acres of land, and is 
chiefly under cultivation. Mr. Shuler obtained a fair education in his native 
country. He has taken an active interest in the affairs of his township and 
served 17 years as Highway Commissioner: is now serving another term of three 
years; has been School Director 15 years. He is a Republican in political 
sentiment, and was reared in the principles of the Lutheran Church. He was 
united in marriage, Feb. 14, 1856, in Sterling Township, to Elizabeth D. 
Rosenberry, and they have had six children, three of whom they have lost by 
death. Three daughters are living,—Ann E., Emma R. and Mary R. John died when 
nearly three years of age. Two children died in infancy.
