Individual Note:
     George married Margaret Salmond (born December 28, 1857 in Bathgate, Scotland, daughter of George Salmond and Isabella Gold). They had eight children.

George went to Manitoba with his brothers, James and David, in the late 1880's but the land was not what they had anticipated, nor were they the best farmers who ever tilled the soil. George tried farming in Manitoba in three different locations, before opening a hotel and livery in Findlater, Sask.

George died January 21, 1921 and is buried in Findlater, as is his wife, who died April 20, 1943.
