George B. Streeter, lumberman and logger, began lumbering in 1863; employs
usually twenty-five men during the season; gets out on an average 2,000,000
feet yearly, and sells his product usually to the manufacturers in Oshkosh
and Fond du Lac.  He was born at Whitefield, N.H., Jan. 28, 1830; he was
about twenty-one years of age when he began business for himself.  His
father, Ezekiel Streeter, was a lumberman in the New England States, where
George B. first followed the business until 1855; then went to Oshkosh
where he worked for others by the month about eight years, after which he
began business for himself and has since continued.  He was married in
Oshkosh, June 19, 1861, to Miss Adaline C. Reynolds, who was born in
Greenfield, N.H.  They have four children- Edward E., Merton R., Stella C.
