George went on the strawberry ride with Hayley. It was kind of like a tilt-a-whirl but not as crazy. Breanna thought it was the funniest thing she had seen all day, to see George inside the strawberry. Every time they passed us, she would point and yell, "Dada! HAHAHA!"
This is the oldest photo we have of my father. It's a photo of a photo, found in the album of my father's cousin's wife. I theorize it must have been sent to Canada shortly after it was taken. My father's maternal grandmother's sister's son immigrated to Ottawa in 1907. The families always stayed close. My father was sponsered by this cousin when he immigrated in 1950. I wish I could see the original photo and will see if I can track down who in the family actually has the album. I hope there are other interesting family photos to be discovered and whether the original photo can be scanned to produce a better quality image.

George Washington was the 1st President of the United States. He was also a member of the Continental Congress that would sign the Association and later the United State Constitution. His rise to glory started as a General during the French and Indian War and would go on as Commanding General during the Revolutionary War, although he would always introduce himself as just a farmer.
In 1753, the French Army sided with all Indian tribes to force British out of the country. Their first act was to occupy the Ohio Valley. This was controlled by the British and considered split land between Pennsylvania and Virginia. The British sent Washington to the valley to deliver a message to the French asking them to vacate the area. The French refused and this starting the French and Indian War.
Washington was put as an aid to British General Edward Braddock. In 1755, Braddock would be killed in battle and George Washington would take charge to lead the army. The troops were forced to retreat but Washington was promoted to General for his heroism for taking charge and his composure on the battlefield. Washington was given General of Virginia Regiment and is considered the first Regiment or army controlled by colonies. All other parts of army was British ruled or just militia. Washington would take his army and march west where he would lead a charge against Fort Duquesne in present day Pittsburgh forcing the French to retreat and open up the Ohio Valley.
Soon after this major victory, Washington would retire from the British Army. He would return back to his home, Mount Vernon, in Virginia, where he would continue his job as a farmer. It was as a farmer that Washington would take pride, and when introduced, he would always be referred to as George Washington, the farmer, not President or general. He would soon meet and marry widower Martha Dainbridge Custis. She would have 2 children who George would raise as his own because he would never have children with Martha.
With the outbreak of the Revolutionary War coming, all colonies called what they referred to as a Constitutional Convention. Washington would attend Virginia's and be elected as a delegate to join the Continental Congress in Philadelphia. In 1774, as a member of the 1st Continental Congress, Washington would help right and sign the Articles of Association. These articles were sent to the Queen of England and highlighted the cruelties of the throne and British control over the colonies. The Association would later serve as a rough draft for the Declaration of Independence. The Articles of Association were ignored by the Queen and the Colonies were forced to declare their independence from England.
In 1775, when the 2nd Continental Congress was decided, Washington would again serve as delegate from Virginia. He would arrive in Philadelphia in his war suit ready for war. So instead of serving in the Congress, John Adams of Massachusetts nominated Washington as General and Commander of all Continental forces. Washington thought he wasn't capable of this honor but accepted. Washington, however, served in the British Army where he was a General and learned how to lead a British Army and fight with a British Army. It made him an easy candidate.
Washington would take over the army with different goals. He would train the Army, since most men were common men and never served in the Army. He would also lead this army he trained and put together against the Crown without surrendering until the war was over. And that he did.
Throughout this war, Washington would lead this army with his head held high and ready to take down any obstacle in their way. He would however be defeated in over half the battles he led. But he never surrendered. He would almost be captured at the Battle of Long Island but was able to escape and flee New York. In 1777, he had his men camped out at Valley Forge for the winter. Over the next 6 months, thousands of his men died at Valley Forge from disease. Congress did not have the money to send supplies like clothes or food. The army almost decided to over throw Washington but Washington would help raise the morale of the soldiers. He would have all local farmers donate food and would bring in Generals Marque de Lafayette and Frederick Von Steuben. They would train the soldiers in gorilla warfare and how to beat the British Army. The next few years, the Army started defeating the British one battle at a time. It would all come to an end in 1781 when Washington would lead his men to Yorktown and surround British Major General Lord Cornwallis bringing an end to the war.
After the war, Washington would give his farewell speech to his troops at Fraunces Tavern in New York and then retire to his home Mount Vernon. He would again be sent to Philadelphia in 1787 to help rewrite a new Constitution because the Articles of Confederation were to vague and causing problems in the newly formed states. Washington would preside over the congress and help write the new Constitution. He would then be one of the signers to sign the United States Constitution. One thing in the Constitution was that a new government would be formed with one man presiding it. Washington would be voted and sworn in as the 1st President of the United States.
Washington serves as 1st President with no idea on how to run a whole government. But he considered himself a man of the people and it was his duty to serve the people. Washington helped set up a nation built on laws and government. He set up a good Judicial System to preside over cases instead of having one man decide the outcome. Washington also set up a treasury to control government spending and helped set up a banking system. Washington spent 2 terms as President of the United States but spent all his time setting up a nation for the future. He retired after 2 terms because he felt that he would always be elected if he ran, and if only one man serves as President, he would be no different then a king, which is why we declared our independence from England in the first place.
This monument to George Washington is located at the Museum of American History in Washington DC. It is the first memorial that was created for George Washington.

Simply the best in my opinion, Look up country music in the dictionary and George's photo should be here!
Interestingly, George Washington was not one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence. He still is the prime example of all that we are and to whom we should aspire to become.
Have a safe and happy celebration of our Nation's Birthday.

George W. Conrad. Sr., was born in Rome, N. Y., in 1841, and was a son of German-born parents. His father was Wesley Conrad. George W. was reared to young manhood in New York and immigrated to Illinois in 1861. He was there married to Miss Lurania Rawson. Mr. Conrad enlisted for service in the Union army in the Twenty-eighth Illinois infantry regiment, and served until the close of the Civil war. He participated in the following battles : Sabine Cross Roads. Gettysburg, Appomattox Court House, and was present at the fall of Richmond and witnessed General Lee's surrender. He moved to a farm near Grinnel in 1866 and in 1868 he immigrated to Nemaha county-, Kansas, purchasing 240 acres of land in Capioma township, which he tilled until his removal to Sabetha in 1879. He operated a general store and grain business at Sabetha and took an active part in city affairs. He was a member of the Sabetha Fair Association and was one of the
builders of Grand Army Hall. He was engaged in business for two years and then returned to the farm and remained there until his removal to Tacoma, Wash., from which city he moved to Dover, Okla. Mr. Conrad served as a member of the State legislature in 1887, having been elected to the office in 1886. His wife, Lurania Rawson, was born at Nadick, Mass., in 1842, and was a daughter of Caleb and Lurariia Rawson, whose ancestry traces back to the earliest colonial families of New England. Caleb Rawson was a gardener and horticulturist who moved to Illinois,
thence to Iowa, and from there to Kansas in 1871. He owned a farm six miles southwest of Sabetha, which he tilled for some years, and later moved to a tract of fifty-three acres in the northwest part of the city. He turned his attention to market gardening- and horticulture. Mrs. Conrad is a bright, intelligent woman, who has been a gnod and true mother to her children.
