Individual:
He was named after an older brother who died very young.
Farm ( Lot 21) next to his father's homestead.
George was a man of many traits and three wives. He wo
rked in a mill in Innisville about the time he was married which would be about 1875, and I believe that he must have been there at the time my father, Robert, was born. As Uncle Wilbert told me his father (grandfather George) told him he walked from the place where Robert was born to Innisville to work, and his was a stone house on a farm believed to have been formerly owned by Catherine's father (Robert Ferguson).
George operated a stone crusher and used steam tractio n engines (he may have used horsepower earlier). He had a sawmill and a threshing mill. He also framed barns and some of the hewing on these being done with a broad ax.
I recall my father, Robert, telling me that George had o ne of the first cars on that road - a Model T, and that some of the neighbors came out to watch it pass by on the road.
--Vernon Lewis Presbyterian
