GEORGE E. BROCK retired, merchant, P.O. Maud.  This 
enterprising and successful merchant is now living a retired 
life on his beautiful farm in Bensalem township, in the 
village of Cornwall.  He was born in Philadelphia, where he 
was educated and grew to manhood.  His father was John 
Brock, and was a man of means.  George E. was a salesman in 
a store in Philadelphia in his early life, and very 
naturally embarked in the mercantile trade, and made it his 
permanent business.  He carried on the wholesale grocery 
business in Philadelphia until he bought a farm, consisting 
of 200 acres of land, in Warwick township.  This farm he 
sold, and bought a smaller one, which he has greatly 
improved.  He has lived in this county since 1857.  In 
politics he is a republican.
