George was educated in rural schools and St. Joseph's Academy in Dubuque. He taught in Clinton county schools and Charlotte public schools several years. In 1902 he was elected County Superintendent, serving 13 years. He was secretary of the KC's council and spent 15 months in Paris during the first World War as K. of C. hut Secretary. After the war, he was in the insurance business. He was also one of the organizers of the Clinton County Farm Bureau and 4-H clubs.

I looked for a marker for his second wife Anna at Villa Nova, but there isn't one there. His obits don't say whether she was living then or not.
