**********************************************************************

H. George, county clerk, was born in Russell county, Ky., October 20,
1841, and is the son of H. and Jane (Wilson) George, both natives of
Kentucky.  In the spring of 1842 the parents immigrated to Miller Co.,
Mo., and located four miles west of Brumley.  The father entered a 
large tract of land, which he improved, and which is now known as the
William Pope farm.  He remained on this a number of years, and then
removed to Camden county in the fall of 1854, purchasing a farm in
Jackson township, known as the James Wilson farm, which is one of the
oldest settled farms in the county.  It was improved when he purchased
it, and on this farm he spent his last days, his death occurring in 
March, 1855.  The mother is yet living in this county, having married
William A. Bradshaw.  They were the parents of nine children, eight
now living.  H. George was but an infant when he came with his parents
to the state of Missouri, and in this state he attained his growth,
receiving a liberal education, and followed the occupation of farming
and teaching until 1878.  He was then elected county court justice, 
and was also appointed public administrator.  In 1880 he was elected
sheriff and collector of revenue, which position he held for four 
years, being re-elected in 1882.  In 1886 he was elected county clerk
of Camden county, which office he now fills.  He owns two good farms,
of 250 acres in each tract.  He has an unusually fine vineyard on one
of his farms.  In the spring of 1861 he married Miss Luticia Ulmon, of
Miller county, and to them have been born five children: Josiah M.,
Elizabeth J. (wife of W. R. Waters), Samual H., Milton L. and Frederick
A.  In August, 1861, Mr. George entered the Federal service, in the
Osage Regiment, Home Guards, Company G, commanded by Capt. William A.
Bradshaw.  He is a member of the Masonic fraternity, and a member of
the A. O. U. W., and is an enterprising and intelligent citizen and
prominent man.
