Author: Hardin & Willard

Thomas, George H., is a native of Middleville and was educated in the private 
schools of Connecticut. He first began business as a clerk in the employ of 
the State at Albany and was next in the employ of the United States. He 
subsequently came home and took charge of this business, which he has owned 
since his father's death in 1865. This tannery business is one of the oldest 
in the country, having been started by Mr. Thomas's grandfather in 1814. Mr. 
Thomas now employs seventy hands in the production of calf-skin leather. He is 
president of the National Bank at Newport and has been since 1874. In 1867 he 
married Miss Mary Kenyon and they have one child. Mr. Edward M. Burns is a 
partner of Mr. Thomas.
