About 16 years ago he purchased from his brother William, the old Davis homestead on which he has since lived, where he passed his last days.
He was married to Ida May Lyman, Feb. 12, 1890.

D., came to this church in its early history, being its first pastor, assisting in the building of the old church, also giving the address at the present church. George took great pleasure in the work of the Sunday school, church, seldom missing a service until some 8 months ago, when he became too ill to leave his home. With all the love, care of his faithful wife, children, the aid of his physicians, it soon was evident that his life was a question of time. As the duties, pleasures of life were removed from him one by one it seemed the joy and hope of life eternal grew brighter each day. Like a weary child he lay down to his last long sleep with peace in his heart, knowing that all was well.
Funeral service was held at the church Tuesday, Sept. 2, conducted by his beloved pastor, Rev. A. M. Reitzel, who paid beautiful tribute to the departed, spoke comforting words to the bereaved family, friends, pointing out to all the pleasure and joy of leading the christian life, the love, faith in the christians death. 3 songs were beautifully rendered during the service by Mrs. W.
