Read More	The life of a good man was taken from the earth when on last Sunday night George D. McCreary heard the “summons ... Mr. McCreary was born near Leavenworth, Kansas, in the year of 1857, and was brought to Jackson county when one year old. The McCreary family, consisting of the parents and eight children, lived on a homestead located in the Banner neighborhood southwest of Holton. When the family first located in this county, Father McCreary built a log house in which they lived. The increasing demands of his family required a more commodious structure and he erected a stone residence, which is located across the road south of the Banner Methodist church. In order that the family would have the shelter of a house, while the new home was being built, he decided on the novel plan of building the stone structure about the log house which was later torn down and the logs were taken out of the windows of the new home. When George was about sixteen years old, his mother’s health failed. It was due to the strenuous life of those pioneer years and the many cares of a large family. At the time of her passing an event took place which had a life long effect upon her children. She gave a parting request of a Christian mother to each child. To her son George she said: “I never want you to miss an opportunity of attending church.” That request was complied with in a most faithful manner. At the time of his conversion George was working alone in a corn field. His father afterward married Mrs. Elizabeth Hurrel, who came into the McCreary home with her two children, Frankie and Cyrus. She was an excellent Christian woman and took the place of the departed mother in a very remarkable manner. Mr. McCreary obtained his education at the Banner school ... Mr. McCreary did not like the occupation of farming and went to Junction City when he was twenty-one years old and spent three years learning the tinner’s trade. Upon his return to Holton he became a partner in the firm of T. J. Bennett and C. A. Walker. About this time he became acquainted with Miss Myrtle McColloh and three years later on June 29, 1866, they were united in marriage ... With the exception of two years that they lived in the Banner neighborhood, Mr. and Mrs. McCreary have resided in Holton ... He has been a member of the official board in the Methodist church for many years and has served with untiring faithfulness in the capacity of steward and trustee ... He went to El Paso, Texas, last January in hope of regaining his strength, but returned about the first of May. He had attained the age of 63 years, 5 months and 29 days. The surviving relatives are his wife, one son, Wayne McCreary, three grandchildren, Mary Elizabeth, Keller, and George; four sisters, Mrs. Jessie Bair of Soldier, Mrs. Katie Reid of Denison, Mrs. Lizzie Asher of Hutchinson, and Mrs. Emma Keys of Dallas, Texas; a brother, William, who lives in Seattle, Washington; his half brother and sister are Cyrus Hurrel and Mrs. Frankie Robinson, of Holton ... The remains were laid to rest in the attractive Holton cemetery .... The following friends and relatives were here for the funeral of George D. McCreary Tuesday: Mr. and Mrs. W. S. McCulloh of Abilene, Mr. and Mrs. Ed Vorhees of Salina, Wayne McCreary of San Antonia, Texas, Miss Bair of Topeka, Mr. and Mrs. S. M. Bair of Soldier and Mr. and Mrs. Robert Reid of Denison. The Holton Recorder, July 21, 1921.
