McBride, George, one of the martyrs of the Church, was born Dec. 21, 1826, in Willanova, Chautauqua county, New York, the son of James McBride and Betsy Mead. Both his parents were natives of the State of New York and having accepted the gospel, they were baptized in 1833 and went through all the trials and persecutions endured by the saints in the early rise of the Church. In August, 1839, his father died, leaving his mother in very poor circumstances, with seven children.
In the fall of 1846 George married Abia Ann Smith (daughter of William and Nancy Smith), which marriage was blessed with three children, two sons and one daughter. In 1849 Bro. McBride emigrated to Utah and settled in Farmington, Davis county, where his wife died in 1854.
In 1855 (March 27th) Bro. McBride married Ruth Ann Miller, daughter of Henry W. Miller and Elmira Hunt of Farmington. Two sons were the issue of this marriage.
In 1857 Bro. McBride was called to assist the missionaries who had settled at Fort Limhi (now in Idaho), and while engaged in missionary as well as temporal labors in that place, he, together with James Miller, was killed Feb. 25, 1858, by the Bannock and Shoshone Indians; five other brethren were wounded on the same occasion. The brethren who were killed were buried inside of the fort walls, at Fort Limhi. (For details, see Salmon River Mission.)
