Densmore, a son of Leroy and Lunetta (Green) Densmore, was born in Lee county, Illinois, June 11, 1874. His parents were both natives of New York state and came with their respective families to Illinois when they were young. And after their marriage in that state located in Lee county. Leroy Densmore began firing on a railroad, and because of his recognized ability he was made an engineer and followed railroading in that capacity for several years. He then came to Shelby County, Iowa and purchased 120 acres of land in Union township, which he farmed for about 8 years, after which he sold this farm and moved to Defiance, where he bought a billiard hall, and later a threshing machine outfit. He disposed of his interests in both of these and invested the proceeds in a livery barn at Defiance, which he managed for a period of 8 years, after which he sold it and bought the hotel in Defiance, managing it for the next 3 years, when he disposed of the hotel and bought a farm in Nebraska, on which he lived until his death, which occurred in 1902, his widow surviving him until 1912. Leroy and wife were the parents of four children: Harry, George and 2 who died in infancy. Harry married Hazel Wells. George W. Densmore received all of his education in the schools of Defiance. After leaving school he worked upon the farm for his father for a few years, and after his marriage in 1900, he moved to Nebraska and rented a farm for several years. He then returned to Union township, this county, and rented a farm for a short time, after which he bought 80 acres of land and lived on it for 2 years, when he sold this farm and bought 120 acres, but instead of moving on the farm, he went to Defiance and engaged in the real estate and fire insurance business.
