George wanted to go to college at Iowa State University, Ames, Iowa to become a veterinarian. But, since he was the only son, he was expected to take over the family farm. George honored his father’s wishes, and was always sad he hadn’t been able to train and work as a veterinarian.

George only owned and kept a few books until his death, other than a Bible. One of them was “Museum of Antiquity. A Description of Ancient Life: The Employments, Amusements, Customs and Habits, the Cities, Palaces, Monuments and Tombs. The Literature and Fine Arts of 3,000 years Ago.” By L.W. Yaggy, M.S. and T.L. Haines, A.M. Chicago: Western Publishing House. 1882. George inherited the book either from his parents, or his grandparents.
