He graduated from the University of South Dakota and went to Ann Arbor, Michigan in 1891 to do postgraduate work. Until 1910, George worked with the New York and Chicago Newspapers as a syndicated crime reporter. To the best of our knowledge, George worked with the Chicago American and was married to Margaret Patterson on March 16, 1895 in Chicago, Illinois. It is thought that there were some children born but all died at birth or shortly thereafter. He worked in Chicago until 1907 when he was on a trip to Ann Arbor and upon returning was informed of his wife's death following an appendicitis operation. George took the news of his wife's death very hard and left his job and went to New York where he was employed by the New York American as a crime reporter. In 1910-1911, he returned to South Dakota where he spent 8 months on a claim in Pennington County and then returned to Vermillion and bought the Red Front Variety Store where his sister, Edna, began working. In 1912, he returned to Chicago seeking a life he knew but his health failed him and he returned to South Dakota and died in a Yankton Hospital.
