He was born June 28, 1848, and for a long time was contented and staid at home, until the centennial year, 1876, when he took in the great show at Philadelphia. On that trip he became acquainted with Miss Anna Bicher, of Lebanon, Pa. This lady, in his estimation, was the only girl on earth. He came home, but seemed to be in a discontented mood, and finally went back to Lebanon, and in April, 1878, was married to Miss Bicher. He then came home, bringing with him his better half; and last evening was made to rejoice, with thousands of the American people, at the arrival of a beautiful daughter, of the average weight, sound and perfect. This is the result of the Centennial, in George's case. And Mrs. Winslow has another customer for "Soothing Syrup."
