Take care.
Yours in Christ,

George Reese, agent for the Wabash Railway and Troy Station, Troy
Township,
was born in Tuscarawas County, Ohio March 11, 1846, a son of Hambright

a native of Greene County, Pa. His parents moved to DeKalb County, Ind.,
in
the fall of 1840 and settled in Tory Township where he was reared and
educated. When he was twelve years of age he began firing a stationary
engine, and
subsequently partly learned his trade in Butler. He has been in the
employ
of the railroad since about 1880., and since 1884 has had charge of the
office at Troy Station. He was married Aug. 10. 1869 to Mrs. Matilda J.
