GEORGE PAUL was born July 7, 1812, in West Virginia. He married Miss Eliza A.,
daughter of Joseph and Sarah (Tull) Wharton, in 1841, as a result of which union
were born eight children- Julia A. (deceased), John, Joseph, Farendine, Catherine,
Jacob, George D. and Frank. After his marriage, Mr. Paul purchased a small corn-mill
on Crooked Creek, in partnership with his brother-in-law,John Brenton, to whom he
subsequently sold said mill, and engaged in farming on 160 acres, giving some
attention to the raising of stock. This farm has grown by aggregation to be 812 acres,
containing 500 head of stock, which feed on blue grass pasture. Mr. Paul is a Republican.
He had two sons in the war of the rebellion--John, in the Thirty-third Indiana, and
Joseph in the One Hundred and Forty-eighth Indiana Regiments. Mr. Paul is a practical
farmer and successful business manager, a fact of which the best evidence is given in
his prosperity and success.
