• Notes

  Was one of two sons and several daughters of a well-known lawyer, locally educated. His great delight was his family and he was never happier than when most or all of his descendants were around him The big old house he bought on Gross Ile, about twenty miles from Detroit and on an island in the Detroit River, was the family home until his death and did often hold all the children and grandchildren of his branch of the family. George had a delightful sense of humour and a great kindliness. He was a successful businessman and a beloved and respected husband, father and grandfather. It can truly be said, "His word is his bond." [2, 5]
