Notes:
George attended the district school, academy at the "Center"
(probably Shalersville Center), then the Eclectic Institute
at Hiram, Ohio (now Hiram College) where future President
James A. Garfield was a fellow student.
The "History of the Haven Family" book includes this
interesting note:
"George, by the way, had a comely sister, fair of feature,
and possessed of many womanly graces, and to whom Pres.
Garfield in his school days paid marked attention, often
accompanying her at the close of the week to her home in
Shalersville, where we would spend the Sabbath. But we find
in this instance, as in most others, that loveliness is of a
fragile nature, that things most beautiful are most
perishable. She too fell victim to that insidious disease,
consumption, and died at the age of nearly twenty years."
After marrying Lucia Wilmot, George and Lucia lived in North
Eaton, Ohio for several years. Then they moved to
Bloomingdale, Michigan, where they purchased a farm and
where they lived the rest of their lives.
Engaged in the seed business in connection with farming.
Transferred the business to eldest son Edwin in later years.

Robert E. Haven, and have it finished fairly soon.]
