He was born 10-2-1855 in Marshall's Creek, Monroe County, PA and died 12-3-1951 in Forty Fort, Luzerne County, PA. George lived and worked the majority of his life in and near• the Harveys Lake and Dallas Pa. area. He was a master carpenter and cabinet maker. He was the carpenter who built the first house on/at Harveys Lake, the favorite vacation and recreation area for much of the northwestern Wilkes-Barre and Kingston area.
He was married to Lydia Ella Warden, from a family that had a farm on Harveys Lake. Members of her family had farm land near Dallas as recently as the 1970's when much of the land was sold for development. The Warden family farm at Harveys Lake was sold early in this century, the area where the farm was located is still known as the Warden Place, a favorite beach at Harveys Lake.
The name "Warden" is variously spelled "Wardan" and "Worden". The family cemeteryin Dallas is named the "Wardan Cemetery". Most living relatives believe her name was Lydia Ella although the name on her tombstone is Ella. George, his wife and his son Warren 1. Yeisley are interred here.
George lived out his life at a retirement home in Forty Fort, Pa. At his death he was blind but was able to get around well for a man his age. Even then, he had remarkable hearing and could tell who was coming by the sound of their footsteps.
George and Ella had 6 children, the oldest being Warren Joseph Yeisley.
