He was a railroad worker.
HIs interment card says he was born in 1846, while his gravestone says he was born in 1847.
A direct descendant of the first baby born on the Mayflower (Peregrine White). He died when his auto or tractor was stalled on a trolley car line and his vehicle was hit by the trolley car. His family sued the trolley car company and won $500 for his life...
Line goes George Weadon White to George W. White to Samuel A. White to Alexander White Sr. to Jonathan White to Peregrine White to William White (last two were on the Mayflower).
In his will, he left his property to be divided between his 3 sons, Charles Otis "Otis", Rolla and Walter. He left about $1000 in cash to his wife and let her live in her home for about 1 year or so (nice?). Hopefully her kids looked after her. There was no social security or medicare back then. She died of facial cancer.
My father Peregrine White said they used to go over to his house to pick strawberries and his grandfather would hide in the bushes and throw stones at them. My father said that George taught his son Walter (my grandfather) to swim by taking him out on the pond in a small boat and throwing him in when Walter was young. Walter almost drowned.
