     GEORGE L. GARLAND, a general farmer owning forty acres of land
in North Hampton, was born in South Boston, Mass., September 12, 1852,
son of Samuel and Sarah T. (Moore) Garland. The father, a native of
Rye, N. H., followed the business of teamster in Boston. His wife was from
North Hampton, this county. Both are now deceased and are buried here,
Samuel Garland spending his latter years here on the farm now owned by
our subject. He and his wife attended the Congregational church.
     George L. Garland was nine months old when he came with his parents
to North Hampton, and he was their only child that attained maturity. He
was educated in the common schools and has spent his life on his present
farm, which he inherited from his father. A republican in politics, he served
as selectman three years, as a member of the school board eight years, and
was representative to the legislature from North Hampton in 1897.
     Mr. Garland married Isadora Page, who was born in this town, daughter
of Simon D. and Judith (Rollins) Page, among whose four children was
Calvin, now the Hon. Calvin Page, one of the foremost citizens of Ports-
mouth, a sketch of whom may be found elsewhere in this volume. Mrs. Gar-
land died in January, 1913, having been the mother of four children, namely:
Bessie, deceased, who was the wife of Webster Hobbs; Flora, wife of Rev.
Martin Mevis; Samuel P., who married Ida Tarr and has two children, Page
and Ethel; and Georgia E., residing at home. Mr. Garland and family
attend the Congregational church. He is a prosperous and respected citizen,
and in addition to general farming, is engaged in dairying, shipping his milk
to Salem, Mass.
