GEORGE W. GARNER baker, P.O. Dublin, comes of a family which 
has long been identified with Bucks county. His 
great-grandfather on his mother's side kept a hotel in 
Hinkletown, in Plumstead township, a great many years ago.  
His paternal grandfather, George, was a farmer in Doylestown 
township.  His son, also named George, was born there and 
owned the home farm.  He died about twenty-five years ago.  
He was known as an extremely hard-working man.  His wife was 
Maria Hinkle, born in Plumstead township, now living in New 
Britain, and nearly 80 years of age.  They had thirteen 
children, all of whom lived to maturity, but typhoid fever 
carried off the father and five of the children at one time. 
 Those deceased were Annie, Catherine, Reuben, Mary, and 
Christiana.  Those now living are: Casper, in Springfield, 
N.J.; Samuel, in Ambler, Montgomery county; Rosaling, wife 
of Elias Sellers; and Cordelia, wife of Joseph Hines, both 
in Warrington township; Susanna, wife of Samuel Hines, and 
Adeline, wife of Harry Fellman, both of New Britain 
township; Harriet, wife of Isaac Transue, in Doylestown; and 
George W., who was next to Susanna, and was born January 19, 
1849, in Warrington township.  When 16 years old he learned 
the trade of a baker and has followed it ever since.  In 
1884 he started for himself in Dublin, and has been quite 
successful.  July 10, 1872, he was married to Mary E., 
daughter of Alfred Fisher.  She was born in Doylestown, 
August 10, 1852.  They have had five children, one of whom, 
Ervin Garfield, died in infancy.  The others are George A., 
Samuel Ross, Lizie Venora, and Lawrence Main.  Mr. Garner is 
a man of excellent character and stands well as a business 
man and a citizen.
