∼Son of Charles Bennie and Caroline (Hamburg) Carnegie.
On January 4, 1918 George married Grace Tumblin from the U.S.A. Grace died during the flu epidemic, George remarried in 1920 to Alberta Ostheidt.
Family lore said that Grace Tumblin had been engaged to George's older brother Charles "Charlie", before he left to fight overseas during WWI. Charlie was killed in Belgium in 1916. He was 18 when he died. George and Charlie's father Charles also enlisted and was killed in France about 3 months after Charlie. All a terrible time of sadness and waste of young lives. George Edmund also went overseas, but was found to be underage and held in England, and was to be sent home when in the mean time the war was over. He became engaged to Grace and they married in January of 1918.
