George W. Stout was born August 19, 1866, one mile north of Fairfield Center in DeKalb county, Indiana. He came to Hamilton in March 1869 and was graduated from the Hamilton schools in 1884. He attended a business college in Oberlin, Ohio, where he majored in bookkeeping and penmanship and was graduated there in 1884. Mr. Stout then attended Tri-State Norman college in Angola in 1887.

The deceased served as postmaster during that time for seven years, five months and twenty-two days. He taught writing school for 12 years and in one township school for a term. "Frosty", as he was familiarly known, worked in the post office when Hamilton only received three mails a week, on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.
