George was born in Marseilles, France, the son of George Freeman Lufbery, Sr.

His father was born in New Jersey. It is uncertain whether his mother was born in New Jersey or France. George's father was a manufacturing chemist and worked in France. The family can be found travelling between France and the U.S. on multiple occasions.
It is not known how George came to live in Valparaiso, Indiana, but he married Bertha Miller on December 2, 1895 in Porter County. The couple appears in the 1900 census, living in Valparaiso where George was a bookkeeper. George's sister Fannie also lives with the couple.

The couple makes their way east to Elizabeth, New Jersey by 1910 where George is a chemist investigating a rubber substitute. Here he purchases nine and a third acres to erect a plant for the manufacture of chemicals for the rubber trade. George died several years later.

The couple had no children.
