Educated in elementary and grammar schools and may almost be said to have been raised on the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad, so completely has his life, since leaving school, been given to railroading, and for the most part in the service of that road; arrived in Montana in 1898, and won and sustained the reputation of being one of the brightest railroad men in the state; in every department of the business which came under his supervision, he was au fait – familiar with details, and ready at a glance to see and seize the strong point of the situation; both George and Carrie possessed social qualities which made their pleasant home a popular center and greatly endeared them to their constantly expanding circle of friends.

George was the nephew of George Washington Gale Ferris Jr, the inventor of the Ferris Wheel.
