George was the husband of Catherine featured last week. As one of Alpine's pioneers he cleared brush, plowed and planted, some days only with an onion, salt, and bread for his dinner. He would go to church bare-footed when he couldn't afford shores. He was loved by the young people for his outdoor amusements and games. He build a lovely rock home on 2nd North and 2nd East and his fruit orchard went up 2nd East to the cemetery. He later served as Mayor of Alpine, also served as city councilman, road supervisor, and water board member. He was Superintendent of the Sunday School.
