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.

George laid down in his big box this morning when I was sewing. He rested his little head on the washcloth! I could hardly contain myself it was so cute!

Georges Rigaud (1905-1984) was a noted Argentine film actor, who started his career in the French cinema of the 1930s. His best known film is René Clair’s classic comedy Quatorze Juillet (1932). Rigaud also played in Italian, American, Argentine and Spanish films. Between 1932 and 1981, he appeared in 194 films.
Georges (or George) Rigaud was born Pedro Jorge Rigato Delissetche in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in 1905. In 1931, he moved to France, where he made his film debut with a bit part in Grains de beauté (Pierre Caron, Léonce Perret, 1932). That same year he played a bigger role in the crime film Fantômas (Pál Fejös, 1932), starring Jean Galland. His best known film is René Clair’s classic comedy Quatorze Juillet (1932). Hal Erickson at AllMovie: “Quatorze Juliet translates to "July 14th"--and if you know your French history, you'll know that July 14th is Bastille Day. This Rene Clair film deals not with the tumultuous events of the French Revolution, but with a 1932 celebration of that particular French holiday. The hero, George Rigaud, is a Parisian cabdriver; the heroine, Annabella, is a flower peddler. As the Bastille Day festivities stretch on into the night, the young lovers come in contact with several of Paris' more eccentric citizens. Director Clair felt that Quatorze Juliet was better in parts than in sum total; modern audiences will most likely enjoy the film as a whole, excusing the weaknesses of its structure while revelling in its music and atmosphere.” The following year, Rigaud starred opposite Renate Müller in the comedy Idylle au Caire (Claude Heymann, Reinhold Schünzel, 1933). It was an alternate language version of the Ufa production Saison in Kairo/Season in Cairo (Reinhold Schünzel, 1933). He then starred in the historical drama Une histoire d'amour/A Love Story (Max Ophüls, 1933), based on Arthur Schnitzler's play Liebelei about a musician's daughter in 1890s Imperial Vienna who falls in love with a young army officer, only for him to be killed in a duel. It is a French-language version of Liebelei (Max Ophüls, 1933). Popular was also the drama Nitchevo (Jacques de Baroncelli, 1936) starring Harry Baur, which is a remake of the 1926 silent film of the same name. Less successful was the musical La vie parisienne/Parisian Life (Robert Siodmak, 1936) starring Max Dearly, Conchita Montenegro and Rigaud, and based on the opera La vie parisienne. The production caused financial problems for its company, Nero Film, run by the émigré producer Seymour Nebenzal. Other French films in which he appeared were the drama Nuits de feu/Nights of Fire (Marcel L'Herbier, 1937), starring Gaby Morlay, Sarati, le terrible/Sarati the Terrible (André Hugon, 1937), featuring Harry Baur, and the adventure film Puits en flammes/Wells in Flames (Viktor Tourjansky, 1937).
In Italy, George Rigaud starred opposite Corinne Luchaire in the drama Abbandono (Mario Mattoli, 1940). Then followed a short period in Hollywood, where he appeared in Paris Underground (Gregory Ratoff, 1945), Masquerade in Mexico (Mitchell Leisen, 1945), and the Film Noir I Walk Alone (Byron Haskin, 1948) starring Burt Lancaster. After this he returned to Argentina, and co-starred with Zully Moreno in the thriller La trampa/The Trap (Carlos Hugo Christensen, 1949). He had a supporting part in Sangre negra/Native Son (Pierre Chenal, 1951). In 1957, he moved definitely to Spain, where he continued his film career credited as Jorge Rigaud. His Spanish films include the drama Mi calle/My Street (Edgar Neville, 1960), Vuelve San Valentín (1962), and Estambul 65/That Man in Istanbul (Antonio Isasi-Isasmendi, 1965) starriing Horst Buchholz. His parts were now mostly supporting roles. He worked in Italy where he appeared in the Peplum Il Colosso di Rodi/The Colossus of Rhodes (1961), directed by Sergio Leone, and starring Rory Calhoun. In Hollywood he played in the flop The Happy Thieves (George Marshall, 1961), a crime/comedy-drama film starring Rex Harrison and Rita Hayworth. And in France he had a part in the Alain Delon vehicle La Tulipe noire/The Black Tulip (Christian-Jacque, 1964). He also was seen in some Eurospy films and Spaghetti Westerns. Interesting were the Italian crime film Ad ogni costo/Grand Slam (Giuliano Montaldo, 1967), starring Janet Leigh, and the Giallo Una lucertola con la pelle di donna/Schizoid (Lucio Fulci, 1971) with Florinda Balkan as the daughter of a respected politician, who experiences a series of vivid, psychedelic nightmares consisting of depraved sex orgies and LSD use. Later films are Pánico en el Transiberian/Horror Express (Eugenio Martín, 1972), starring Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing, and Maravillas (Manuel Gutiérrez Aragón, 1980). In 1981, George Rigaud died in a road accident in Madrid, Spain. He was 78.

George Mahon was a senior partner in a law firm based in North John Street called Roose, Mahon & Howard, a leading Liverpool accountancy firm at the time.
He was also the Organist at St. Domingo's, the church of the Reverend Ben Chambers, who has decided to provide a team sport for the church's cricket team to play during winter. Initially called St. Domingo's after the church, the team was later renamed Everton in 1879.

The headstone of George Crompton (1897 - 1987) in the Rural Cemetery of Worcester, Massachusetts.
According to the National Museum of Naval Aviation:
"A native of Worcester, Massachusetts and a graduate of Harvard University, George Crompton enrolled in the Navy as a Quartermaster First Class on 1 May 1917. A member of the first lighter-than-air class trained by the Goodyear Rubber Company at Akron, Ohio, he was designated Naval Aviator Number 100 on 21 September 1917. His wartime service included duty at Naval Air Station (NAS) Montauk, France, and NAS Rockaway, Long Island where he participated in early experiments operating JN-4 Jenny airplanes from the C-1 blimp."
Additional information on Lieutenant Crompton is available in the book New England Aviators 1914-1918: Their Portraits and their Records, Volume 1 By Caroline Ticknor. His section of the book is online at books.google.com/books?id=Y9sDAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA408&l...
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 Virginias 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 wasnt 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 gorillia 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.
