George was the son of Martin and Hannah Latham Beckwith.
Soon after relocating to Burlington, Vermont from his hometown, George was hired by the Central Vermont Railway to run the employee store. By 1870, he had started the first coal business in Burlington, and had to build one of the earliest wharves on the lake to receive coal for his business. He was bookkeeper at the Old Stone Store on the corner of Maple and Battery Street. The store housed a freight transport business. His business experience was extensive - at various times he served as Burlington's Postmaster, deputy collector of customs, and auditor for the City of Burlington. His social activities included membership in the Lake Champlain Yacht Club, and the Masons.
George married Julia Hyde about 1860. His will left his estate to her.
