Robert L. GEORGE

Robert L. George was reared at his native place and received a collegiate 
education, attending, first, St. Francis college, at Loretto, and then entering 
St. Vincent College, at Latrobe, Westmoreland county, from which noted 
institution he was graduated in 1867. Leaving college, he read law with judge 
Robert L. Johnson, of this county, was admitted to the bar in November, 1870, 
and practiced for two years at Gallitzin, which he then left to locate at North 
Platte, in the State of Nebraska. After two years spent in the West, Mr. George 
returned to Cambria county, and was engaged in the general mercantile business 
at Lilly up to 1887. In that year he retired from the mercantile business and 
came back to Gallitzin, where he resumed the active practice of his profession, 
which has engaged nearly all of his time since.
     In June, 1880, Mr. George was united in marriage with Rose Storm, a 
daughter of Elias Storm, of Summit, this county. Mr. and Mrs. George have an 
adopted daughter named Winifred.
     Mr. George is a member of the Catholic church. He was unfortunate in losing 
his left arm in a saw-mill, June 14, 1864, when only sixteen years of age. Mr. 
George is neat and tasteful, has a pleasant home, and possesses many friends. He 
practices in the courts of Cambria and adjoining counties, is a careful, 
experienced, and successful lawyer, and has a good practice.
