George Winfield Wallick was married to Charlotte Agnes Johnson of Bath, Ontario, Canada. She had come to Kansas to live with her aunt, Mrs. Bert Cirtwell. After five years of marriage with all the indebtedness paid on his farm, stock and implements and with money in the bank, he insisted they do some of the nice things in life while young. Not to wait like his parents did until 70 and not be able to travel as they had hoped, since Mother Wallick, Mary was not well. So taking along the small daughter, Helen or Nellie as he called her, they left for Canada. This was a year after the death of Evelyn Ester, who died at the age of eleven months and for whom Lottie still grieved. George loved the Bay of Quinte, which was near Charlotte's home, and they stayed until August 1891.
George loved fishing and swimming, and wandering near the blue water, he developed a carbuncle on his neck and while swimming he struck it on the edge of a long shelf of rock that extended out into the bay. An old (and alcoholic) doctor lanced it, and in that time no one sterilized things so he developed blood poisoning and died in nine days. His body was shipped back and one of Lottie's brothers took her as far as Chicago where Frank met them and accompanied her back to Kansas. Ten days later, Vesta Beatrice, the third daughter was born.
