GEORGE G. SQUIER.

   George G. Squier, who has been honored by the citizens of Democrat township
by the election to the office of township assessor and who is a successful
farmer of the township, was born in Vermilion county, Illinois, February 13,
1873. Mr. Squier lives on route No. 2 out of Cutler, Indiana.

   George G. Squier is the son of David and Huldah J. (Grant) Squier. The father
was born in Butler county, Ohio, January 1, 1844, and the mother in Carroll
county, Indiana, east of Delphi. She died in 1895.

David B. Squier came with his parents to Indiana at the age of six years. They
settled in Clinton county, where they remained a short time and then moved to
Clay township, Carroll county, where they lived until their deaths. Mr. Squier's
grandparents were the parents of eight children, four of whom are now living: E.
A., a retired farmer of Madison township; David B., a retired farmer of Delphi;
Dr. George E., a physician of Brookville, Indiana; and Dr. Augustus, a physician
at Frankfort, Indiana.

   David B. Squier was reared in Carroll county. By his marriage to Huldah Grant
there were born three children, two of whom are now living: Emma B., the wife of
Sell Doty, the postmaster at Delphi; and George G., the subject of this sketch,
who moved with his parents to Clay township when ten years old.

   Reared on a farm and educated in the district schools of Clay township, Mr.
Squier attended school in the winter and worked at home on the farm during the
summer. He was in the West and Northwest a couple of years. He became a brakeman
on the Pennsylvania lines and remained with the Pennsylvania railroad for two
years.

   On December 2, 1903, Mr. Squier was married to Estella Stephens, who was born
in Democrat township on January 3, 1882, and who is the daughter of Peter
Stephens. He died when Mrs. Squier was eight months old.

   After Mr. and Mrs. Squier were married, he hauled logs for the Ockley
hoop-factory in Madison township. Later they moved to Cutler, Indiana, and still
later to Clinton county, where they were located for three years. Since that
time they have lived continuously in Democrat township.

   Mr. and Mrs. Squier have three children: Dortha M., born on July 27, 1905;
Chalmer C., May 26, 1907; and Ethel M., May 30, 1909. The family live on a farm
of ninety-three acres of land one mile south and two and one-half miles east of
the town. Elected as a Democrat in 1914, Mr. Squier is serving his first term as
assessor of Democrat township. Fraternally, he is a member of Rossville Lodge
No. 278, Knights of Pythias, and of Cutler Lodge No. 571, Independent Order of
Odd Fellows. In the latter lodge he is a past grand and a member of the Grand
Lodge of Indiana,
