David E. George

[RJNorton]

Many thanks to Steve for sending the following:

"I have some articles to post to the Forum in a new post. The first one is from the 26 Feb. 1903 edition of the Enid Wave newspaper which reprints a letter sent to the mayor on the 18th of Feb. The letter was sent by an N. H. George asking for information to locate David E. George, not knowing David had died. N. H. doesn't say if he is a relative of David. But I think this could be a possible lead on the identity of David E. George. Using the address from the letter I was able to identify N. H. as Nelson Harley George a nightime railroad yardmaster in Arkansas City, Kansas. Here's his Find A Grave page:

I checked and David wasn't a brother of Nelson, so if they were familiarly related I can't figure out how, even after looking at online trees of Nelson's family. Nelson paid for one of those biographies of himself printed in 1918, I've attached images of that in case some future person comes along this Forum thread and want to do a little research into Nelson's family tree to find a connection if they can. Coincidentally, Nelson's widow would die in Enid herself in 1945 while visiting their daughter."
