On April 16, 1874 George was united in marriage to Mary (Addie) Adeline Parker at Wonewoc, Juneau County, Wisconsin. Mary was born in 1857 in Wonewoc, Juneau County, Wisconsin, and died 28 July 28, 1921 at Buchanan, Berrien County, Michigan. Their daughter, Ivy Louise, was born May 5, 1879, in Wonewoc, Juneau County, Wisconsin, and later married G.E. Soli.

George was a Civil War veteran of Company B, 12th Wisconsin Infantry Regiment.

George enlisted September 11, 1862 at Ironton, Sauk County, Wisconsin, to serve three years as a Private in the 12th Wisconsin Infantry. On September 11, 1862 he was mustered into Federal service with Company B at Madison, Wisconsin. At that time he received $25.00 of his $100.00 enlistment bounty, and was listed as a 19 years old, 5'9" tall farmer, with brown hair, blue eyes and a fair complexion, born in Delaware County, Indiana.

On the June 1863 muster roll George was listed as absent sick in General Hospital, 4th Division, 16th Army Corps, near Vicksburg, Mississippi, since June 22, 1863.

On July 21, 1864 George was severely wounded in the right forearm while in action at Atlanta, Georgia, and on July 30, 1864 hospitalized at the 17th Army Corps Hospital, Marietta, Georgia.

On the muster rolls of October 1864 through February 1865 he was listed as absent sick at Chattanooga, Tennessee, and his pay stopped $18.02 for transportation while on furlough.
