George is a son of Eunice Rogers (ca 1817-1860) burial site unkown, and Thomas Dudley Trimble, married Dec 5, 1835, Edgar County, Illinois.

George married Luvenia Stockstill August 16, 1874 in Lawrence County, Missouri. Six months before they married, their widowed parents Thomas Dudley Trimble and Rebecca Williams Stockstill, married on November 25, 1873. It is unknown which couple knew each other first.

The Trimble farm in Washington Township, Dade County, Missouri was 120 acres located just north of the little town of Pilgrim. In a early 1900's directory George is listed as a "farmer and breeder of Registered Poland China Hogs."

George died at age 65 from Lobar Pneumonia. Son-in-law James Milton Jones, of Everton, MO is the informant on his MO Death Certificate.

By Uncle Ben, May 23, 1918, Greenfield Vedette - This community was over-shadowed with gloom last week by the death of our neighbor and friend, George Trimble, which occurred at his home near Pilgrim on May 15, 1918. Mr. Trimble had lived on this same farm of the past 27 years, and made friends of all his neighbors, who loved and cherished him because of his loving kindness to every one he met. He held his church membership at Carr Chapel. He loved his church and lived a very devoted Christian life. To know Mr. Trimble was to love him, for he was always of good cheer and wished well toward everyone. He was a man who provided well for his family and took much interest in their welfare. Aside from his wife he has four children living, two sons and two daughters, Ada, Gertrude, Walter and Emmet, all of whom were at the funeral except Walter, who could not come home on account of ill health. The grief-stricken family has the heartfelt sympathy of the writer and I pray God that they may follow the footsteps and teaching of their kind and loving father. It is hard to say goodbye to parents as they depart this life, and yet it is a consoling thought when we remember that God has promised to take to himself all that trust and obey him. When we think of the goodness of God and then think of our friends that have gone before and left evidence that they have met God in peace, there is no wonder then that we love to sing "There are loved ones in glory waiting for me."

Gertie's grave has been found! The only child not linked below is Gertrude "Gertie" Trimble, born November, 1895, who married David "Frank" Franklin, May 11, 1912, Greenfield, Dade County, MO. Frank, under 21 (born December 17, 1892), and Gertie, under 18, had their fathers permission to marry. Frank and Gertie lived in Tyro, Kansas for many years and had daughters Helen Lovina Franklin Liming born Jan 3, 1923, Luella Franklin Watkins and Nina Franklin Harvey; a son William Herbert Franklin, born June 24,1913. Frank D Franklin died Dec 17, 1956. Gertie's grave site is unknown at this time, but believed to be in Kansas.
