GEORGE L. FRANCIS. This gentleman is the owner and occupant of a fine farm of 
three hundred and five acres on sections 10 and 15, in New Lenox Township. He 
is the tenth in a family of eleven children and was born on his father's 
homestead October 5, 1856. He grew to manhood amid the usual surroundings of a 
farmer's son, receiving his education in the common schools and the high 
school at Englewood. His tastes led him to adopt farming as his life work and 
the township in which he was born has been his continuous home. On June 21, 
1877, Mr. Francis was united in marriage with Miss Anna, daughter of Thomas 
Doig, of the same township. The family history of Mrs. Francis will be found 
in the sketch of her father, on another page in this Album. She was born 
October 20, 1856, and like her husband has been a life-long resident of New 
Lenox Township. The union has been blessed by the birth of three children—
Frank D., Laura D. and George H. Laura died when sixteen months old. Both Mr. 
and Mrs. Francis belong to the Methodist Episcopal Church. Mr. Francis is 
serving in the capacity of School Trustee.
