By 7 January 1920 George (48y) is listed as married to Lida Hancock (41y, born KY). They are renting a residence in Belmont (town), South Point, Gaston County, North Carolina. He is listed as a merchant selling retail merchandise.
In 1930 he is renting and living in Louisville, Jefferson County, Kentucky. She is listed as Lida J. Hancock. This census indicates he married at 49y and she at 42y which would indicate they had been married for 10 years. At this time he is working as a purchasing agent. They have no children listed as residing with them.
The 1940 Census records them as renting and residing in Louisville, Jefferson County, Kentucky. It indicates that he (69y) has a 4y college degree and that he is a researcher checker for the WPA Government Office. His wife is recorded as Eliza F. Hancock (62y) and probably the same person as Lida in previous censuses.
His death is recorded as occurring in the City Hospital in Louisville, Jefferson County, Kentucky 17 March 1942. The death certificate names his parents as above, and wife as Eliza Hancock. He died from bronchial pneumonia with coronary complications. He was listed as a retired accountant and had a business as a historical researcher.
