James H. George, son of Elberton C. George and Elizabeth E. George, was born six miles southeast of Calhoun, June 24, 1844; departed from this life at his home in Calhoun, May 6, 1929, age 84 years, 10 months and 12 days. He was one of twelve children. His family was one of the oldest of Henry county. His grandfather, William Goff, owned the first store in Henry county, just south of the present town of Calhoun; was the first postmaster in Henry county and one of the first three county judges. December 4, 1867, he was united in marriage to Mary B. Parks, who passed from this life February 7, 1891. To this union, four children were born. Of this union, A. T. George, of Paris, Texas, survives. September 15 1915, he was united in marriage to Nannie J. Thompson. To this union one son; James H. George, Jr., was born. During the Civil War, he served in the Union army. He was a member of Companies C. and A, First Missouri Volunteer Cavalry. He enlisted at Clinton, August 11, 1862, and was discharged at Little Rock, Ark., serving two years and ten months. the only residents of Calhoun living today who were here when he returned from the army are Mrs. M. Edwards and D. B. Pigg. He united with the Calhoun Baptist church September 16, 1868. For over fifty years, he had been one of its deacons. The church owes much to his devotion to the cause of Christ. He was the oldest surviving member and during his lifetime, he assisted in building three houses of worship in Calhoun. He became a member of the Masonic fraternity in 1870, and from the standpoint of both age and length of membership, he was the oldest member of the lodge in Calhoun. For a number of years he was engaged in business in Calhoun. He served as postmaster from May 15, 1897, until July 10, 1914. As a Christian and a citizen he has contributed more to the life of this community than any other. Besides his wife and two sons, he leaves to mourn his departure, three sisters - Mrs. O. B. Garner, Bonham, Texas, and Mrs. Julia Carter and Mrs. Wilmoth Gramley of Paris, Texas, and a host of friends in this community. Funeral services were conducted at the Baptist church by his pastor, Rev. G. C. Faulkner, after which the remains were taken in charge by the Masons and were laid to rest in Calhoun cemetery with Masonic honors.
