also had a group that he used to hunt with such as Dr. Gilbert Francis, Dr. E. M. Abbott, Ken Sommers, Jack Heiner, Garland Heiner, and a number of other people from Morgan, Quite often, they would go up to the Francis ranch where they would have some excellent accommodations. George was also active in the Lions Club and was an officer. He really enjoyed and loved the people of Morgan County. In his early years, George, along with his brother Hamner, had a butcher shop on Main Street near the location ofthe old post office. In 1938, he resigned as manager and sold his stock in Como Springs to his brother John, and they both decided to build a fox farm on the plat near Como Springs, which they jointly owned. At this time, his son Sylvester had graduated from the University of Utah in engineering, so he laid out agrid for their fox pens and for the future mink farm that they intended to build, George started up in the fox business with some fox that they had at the Como Springs fox farm. About the time he could have made a little money on this venture, the Queen of England declared that long-hair furs were out of style and the price of fox fur dropped from $125 to $25, which hardly paid for their feed, so George had to forget raising fox. He then started to raise mink. Mink fared better, and he was able to make a living with his mink farm operation. George was a very hard worker, and worked long and hard hours all his life. Again, his son Sylvester reports, "There were times when I was home and would work along beside him in various chores, on the mink farm, fox farm, in butchering, and other experiences which were choice to me. He had a keen sense of humor and usually had some good wholesome stories to tell." George's wife passed away in the summer of 1949, and he lived alone for about three years. He was fortunate to meet another very lovely person by the name of Sade Dean whom he married. George was asked to talk at a missionary farewell of one of Sade Dean's grandsons in the late 1960s. He went down to stay with them to prepare to go to meeting the next day. It was on a Saturday and he woke up in the morning and suffered a mild stroke, losing his voice. He lived after that about four years. For about two of them, he was completely unable to take care of himself, except to lay on a hospital bed and respond. Sade took care of him during this period of time. He moved to Ogden in about 1970 where he passed away on 29 February 1972. Source: Information provided by Sylvester M.
