GEORGE W. GANOE is a son of James and Martha (Meadley) Ganoe.  Where the
father was born is not definitely known.  The mother was born in Kentucky
in 1808.  She came to this State and county with her parents at an early
day, and lived for some time in a fort.  The father came here when a young
man, and worked by the month for some time.  In their family were these
children:  George W., Lucy A., Nancy J. and Catharine.  Both parents were
Baptists, and the father was a Whig.  He died in 1841, and the mother in
1883.  George W. was born in Knox County, Ind. in 1833.  His educational
advantages were limited, as the schoolhouses were very few and far between.
He lived with his parents until their death, when he and two sisters sold
their interest in the home farm and purchased 160 acres where he now lives.
His sister, Nancy, then married and took forty acres of the farm, and since
then he and his sister, Lucy, have lived together.  Mr. Ganoe is a stanch
Democrat, and his first vote was cast for the candidate of the Know-nothing
party.  He has been moderately successful as a farmer, and he and sister
belong to the Christian Church.
