GEORGE W. EGBERT (deceased) was born in Warren County, Ohio, August 25,
1824. He removed with his parents to Dearborn County, where they remained
for some time; thence they moved to Green Township while George W. was but
a lad, in which community he grew up to manhood respected and held in high
esteem by all who knew him. He was married to Miss Mary Williams, February
11, 1847. He survived his wife six years. He at one time served as trustee
of Green Township. In 1870, he was elected Treasurer of Morgan County.
Such was the confidence reposed in him by the people that they committed to
his care the guardianship and settlement, as administrator, of many
estates, all of which was honestly and conscientiously performed. He was in
the drug trade as a member of the firm of Tarleton & Egbert, which position
he occupied until his failing health admonished him that he must withdraw
from active business, after which he gradually sank, suffering intolerable
pain. He died February 18, 1882, in the fifty-eighth year of his age. He
was a prominent citizen and highly esteemed. He was efficient as an
officer, performing all duties devolving upon him with fidelity to the
county and credit to himself.
