George was diagnosed with Epilipsy in 1926 then in 1926 before the birth of Mary Louise he was admitted to The Indiana Village for Epileptics in New Castle, Indiana. Before George became ill he was a farmer and then he worked on the railroad. During this time he was only allowed out on furloughs with the family. Being a devout catholic divorce was not an option so him and Luella Mary were granted an annullment based on the fact he was no longer able to finacially care for her or the children. This would allow her to remarry. Eventually Luella Mary remarried a few years later but George would always stay with her and her husband Clarence Stout when on furlough. Everyone stayed close.
