George A. Kile was a native of Germany, where he married and had two
children.  He then came to America with his wife and children and
settled in Maryland, where they had six children more.  George, the
youngest son, married Nancy Marshall, of Maryland, and moved to Ken-
tucky, where he died, leaving a widow and eight children.  The names
of the children were: Ephraim D., Hezekiah, Alexander M., Humphrey F.,
Lucretia P., Susan, Stephen W. and Alfred S.  In 1837 Susan, Stephen
W. and Alfred S. came to Missouri with their mother, and settled in
St. Charles County.  Mrs. Kile died in August, 1872.  Of the children
we have the following record: Hezekiah was married twice.  Stephen D.
died a bachelor.  Alexander was married twice, lost both of his wives,
and then went to Colorado.  Humphrey never married, and is still liv-
ing.  He once had a hen that laid a square egg, and from the egg was
hatched a pullet that lived to be sixteen years old; when she was 
eight years old she turned perfectly white, and remained so the rest
of her life.  During the sixteen years of her life she laid 4,000 eggs
and hatched 3,000 chickens.
