George's (Sr.) funeral mass was held at Our Lady of Peace church, 79th and Jeffery and he was buried at Mt. Olivet Catholic Cemetary at 2755 W. 111th St., Chicago, Il 60655-1833 (773) 238-3106.

He apparently lived with Aunt Fannie (Francis) and Uncle Tom Killeen at 8032 Luella, Chicago when he died.

Also had lived at 5838 S. Emerald, Chicago.

The 1890 Chicago Registered Voters List had the following information on George: He lived at 127 Halsted Street (3rd Congressional District, 11th Ward, 3rd precinct) . He had been born in England and was white. His term of residence in the precinct was 4 years; in Cook County 28 years; and in Illinois 28 years. He was a naturalized citizen since 1876 by way of the Court of Cook County.

The 1900 Federal Census indicated that he was born in April 1845 and was 55 years old which appears to be incorrect based on other sources. It also indicated that he he had been in the USA 50 years and immigrated in 1830. The 1830 was an error since he was born later than 1830. Probably should have been 1850 to agree with the 50 yrs he was in the country.
