George V. Croft, Clerk Tremont House, was born in St. Catharines, Canada,
Aug. 24, 1845.  His parents, George and Mary A. (Vaughan) Croft, came to
Wisconsin in 1851, locating in Fond du Lac.  In 1864, the subject of this
sketch came to Oshkosh and engaged with Bigger & Hill, dry goods merchants;
remained with them until 1873.  About two or three years later, having, in
the meantime, sold goods for different firms, he took an interest in firm
of E.L. Hughs & Co; sold out three years later, and engaged with William
Hill & Co., with whom he remained until he took his present position March
1, 1811.  Mr. Croft is a member of Oshkosh Lodge 27, A., F. & A. M., of
which he is now J. W., and of Tyrean Chapter, 15.
