      GEORGE K. KELSO,
  
  [p. 789] a life-long resident of Pulaski Township, belonging to one of
  the old pioneer families of this section, has been engaged in general
  farming ever since he reached man's estate. He is a son of Hiram and
  Isabella (Dinsmore) Kelso.
  
  The grandparents of Mr. Kelso were George Kelso and Matthew Dinsmore.
  The former was one of the early settlers in Pulaski Township, coming
  before the heavily-timbered lands had been cleared or roads had been
  built. The Kelso family has been a highly regarded one in Lawrence
  County ever since. The maternal grandfather, Matthew Dinsmore, was an
  equally early settler in North Beaver Township and his descendants are
  also among the most valued residents in that locality.
  
  Hiram Kelso, father of George K., followed farming in Pulaski Township
  and through life performed every duty of a good citizen. He was a member
  of the Harbor United Presbyterian Church. He died in Pulaski Township in
  1898. The following members of his family survive: Matthew D., residing
  in Pulaski Township; Frances A., wife of T. S. Dinsmore, residing at Los
  Angeles, Cal.; John C. and George K., both residing in Lawrence County,
  and Jennie A., wife of James C. Wilson, residing in North Beaver Township.
  
  George K. Kelso attended school through boyhood in District No. 5,
  Pulaski Township, and many of his old schoolmates are yet his neighbors.
  Like his father, he is a stanch Republican in politics and also, like
  his parents, he is identified with the Harbor United Presbyterian
  Church. As a good citizen, he takes an interest in public improvements,
  in the way of improving the highways and other matters of equal interest
  to an agricultural section, and is liberal in the support of movements
  which establish law, order, temperance and morality in the community.
