lives there, the father dying when over sixty two years of age and the mother
surviving to be eighty four years old.  They had ten children and of these George
W. was the youngest.  Early in the Civil war he enlisted in Company K, First Ohio

respected citizen.  He belongs to the G. A. R. at Houston.
