Geo. W. STAFFORD was born in Rochester, New York, Jan. 9, 1829 and died at his home in Postville, Jan. 11, 1892. In early life he moved with his parents first to Mich., then to Ills. In 1850 he joined the rush for gold, and crossed the plains to California. Here he spent 18 years, sharing the varied experiences of the early gold seekers. He came to Postville in 1868. In 1870 he was married to Martha PERRY. To them were born 5 children, 4 of whom are living. In the death of G. W.

He has been an invalid since Sept, 1889, when the aneurism of the aorta, from the effects of which he died, first appeared. He was an active and efficient member of the N.E. church.
