GEORGE E. MALEY.

   George Elmer Maley, one of the wideawake and enterprising young farmers of
Flat Rock township, Bartholomew county, was born in Shelby county on the 30th of
June, 1876, and is a son of Jacob and Mary E. (Cox) Maley. The family is of
German lineage, the paternal grandfather of the subject, John Maley, having been
a native of the fatherland. The father's birth occurred in Shelby county and he
has followed farming, now living retired at St. Louis Crossing, though since
1882 he lived on the farm where his son, Elmer, now lives. He owns two hundred
and eighty-five acres of good land and has thereon a comfortable and substantial
residence. In his political affiliations he is a- Democrat, active in support of
the party, yet never an aspirant for office. He has improved much land, thus
adding materially to the wealth of the county. His five children are George E.;
Clarence W.; Jennie M., the wife of August Moore, who is a gardener and butcher;
Henry R. and Clara L.

   George E. Maley was reared in the usual manner of farmer lads, no event of
special importance occurring in his youth to vary the routine of farm life. He
attended the public schools and the Columbus Business University, acquiring a
good practical education. He is now living upon his father's homestead, which he
cultivates successfully and with due regard to tried and tested means.

   On the 30th of September, 1900, Mr. Maley was joined in wedlock to Miss Annie
L. Wagner, daughter of George and Elizabeth (Wagner) Wagner. The parents, though
of the same name, were not related. Her father, who came from Germany when
eighteen years of age, was employed on a steamboat on the Ohio river for many
years up to the time of the Civil war. He is now a retired farmer, owning one
hundred and sixty acres of land, which is finely improved and well developed. He
holds membership in the Christian church and in his political views is an active
Democrat. His family numbers six children: Katie, the wife of Christ Harm, a
farmer living in Ohio township; Henry; Charles W.; Mrs. Maley; Amanda and
Walter, who are yet under the parental roof.

   Mr. and Mrs. Maley have two daughters, Mary M. and Hazel M. They hold
membership in the Christian church and are deeply interested in its work and
advancement. Mr. Maley votes with the Democratic party and is a valued member of
Clifford Lodge, No. 437, Knights of Pythias.
