He was the oldest of eight children in the family. George was raised on farms near Friend, Burress, Fairmont Airbase, and then 3 and a half miles east of Geneva, NE and was baptized September 19, 1923 at the home of his grandparents, Henry Engle. George became a member of the First Congregational Church on May 28, 1939. He attended country school, District #85 and District #68 through the 8th grade, and graduated from Geneva High School with the class of 1940. He started farming after graduation with his father who had started having failing health. George loved the farm life and also did custom bailing for 30+ years, custom combining, corn shelling, hauled cattle to Omaha to the Stockyards, sold cylinder bars and wood shavings. George was united in marriage to Phyllis Jean Kotas of Milligan, NE on April 25, 1946 at the Catholic Church in Milligan, NE and resided on a farm northeast of Geneva. They had three children, Diane L., George A. “Jr.”, and Barbara L. George and Phyllis lived on that farm for 28 years, and on August 1, 1974 they purchased the First Congregational Church parsonage in Geneva, and together with Diane they moved into their newly remodeled home on December 28, 1974. After moving to town, George continued driving to the country to raise crops, livestock and later years shared a large garden with Phyllis. George and Phyllis would bake pies and take them and their vegetables to the farmer’s market. He enjoyed his daily trips to the Geneva Senior Center to have coffee and social gathering with his friends to express his opinion on any given topic of the day and was very appreciative when someone would send a little something home with him for Phyllis and Diane. George enjoyed restoring antique machinery and would travel to St. Joe, MO with his friend, Norman Gates, to sell their restorations to the Amish. George served his church on many board committees and as the Church Clerk. He also served on the ASC Board, Sutton Co-op Board, Farm Bureau Board, and the Pioneer Manor Board. George and Phyllis celebrated their 25th, 40th and 50th anniversaries in Milligan with Czech music provided by their friend Dean Hansen. At their 40th anniversary celebration there was a surprise mock wedding performed by their family. They enjoyed going dancing every Sunday evening at the Pla-Mor Ballroom where they ended up making many dancing friends from all over.
