• Notes

  A Civil War veteran, George enlisted in Bloomfield, Perry County, August 20, 1861, and mustered into federal service at Harrisburg August 31 as a private with Co. D, 47th Pennsylvania Infantry. He maintained his health through a cold Virginia winter, but Florida proved too much. He discharged by surgeon's certificate from the military hospital at Key West July 12, 1862, only to die at home in Petersburg, Perry County, of the dysentery he carried with him from the field.
