**********************************************************************

George D. Day, a farmer and merchant of Cherryville, is a son of George
and Rozena (Denton) Day, both born near Lincolnshire, England.  They
were married and lived in their native country until 1842, when they
came to America, settling in Washington County, MO., where the father
died at the age of seventy years, and the mother at the age of sixty-
two years.  In his native country George Day was a hostler and brewer,
but after coming to this country he engaged in farming, saw-milling
and hotel keeping.  During the late war he was a strong Union man, and
is a Democrat, politically.  George D. Day was the second in a family
of five children, and was born in Washington County in 1844.  During
the late war he served a short time in the militia, but was discharged
on account of sickness.  In 1866 he married Eunia Halbert, who died in
1876, leaving three children: Garret, Eliza and Ross.  In 1878 Mr. Day
married Mary A. Self, by whom he has two children, Madge and Mabel,
twins.  After his second marriage Mr. Day moved to Steelville, where
he kept the Steelville Hotel about six years, and in 1884 he moved to
his present residence in Cherryville, where he has since been engaged
in the mercantile business.  He also owns 120 acres of land.  In 1884
he was commissioned postmaster of Cherryville, in which capacity he is
still serving.  He served as county judge from 1884 to 1886, and was 
justice of the peace two years.
