Son of Anson Law and Sarah Charlotte Cole. Grandson of Simon Law and Hannah Kinney. Husband of Ida May Spencer, the daughter of Washington Spencer and Amanda McClassin. They were married in 1881 and had six children; Albert, Lottie, Alta, Orval, George and Emma.
---------------------------------
George Anson Law was born near Springfield, Illinois, on July 30, 1856. In his early childhood, the family moved to Iowa, locating on a farm near Muscatine. Here he grew to manhood. In 1879 he came to Kansas, homesteading in Barton county, near Hoisington. In the same year he married Ida Spencer. Together they lived the life of the western frontier, until on November 11, 1913, she passed beyond to her heavenly home. To them were born eight children, three of whom were waiting for their father on the other shore.
Brother Law passed away November 21, 1926, aged seventy years, three months and twenty-two days. His death came suddenly, the result of a stroke of apoplexy. His later life was quietly passed with his daughter, Mrs. Ernest Cobb, of Lucas, Kansas. He leaves five children, seventeen grandchildren and two great-grandchildren to mourn, besides those who knew him as a friend and neighbor. The living children are Mrs. Lottie Hoffman, Mrs. Alta Cobb, Mrs. Emma Housman, Orval and Clyde Law.
A sturdy pioneer has left us, one given not to the spectacular and the trumpet heralded. The common tasks of every day living found in him a faithful devotee. may we likewise be ever faithful, even in the things that seem trivial and of little consequence. In the eyes of the great task-master, all things are of equal worth. It is the spirit with which the day's duties are performed.
Funeral services were held from the home of his daughter, Mrs. Ernest Cobb, Lucas, Kansas, Tuesday afternoon, November 23, 1926; burial in the Cheyenne cemetery; Rev. H. P. Woertendyke, officiating clergy.
