GEORGE S. TRUMAN was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in 1920, and
here he acquired his early education. In his 14th year he went to reside
in Delaware county in order to learn the theory and practice of farming, and
while here he was inducted into the position of conductor of the underground
railroad, eastern division, and this he maintained until the proclamation of Presi
dent Lincoln made it no longer necessary.
In 1S4S he married Susan Y. Knight of Bristol, Bucks county, Pa-, with whom
he lived in loving fellowship for 42 years. Two sons and two daughters were the
result of this union, none of whom are residents of Nebraska except the youngest
daughter, who resides with her father.
When President Grant, in pursuance of his Indian policy of placing them in
charge of the different religious denominations the agencies in Nebraska were
placed under the supervision of the Society of Friends and under this regime in
1S70 he was inducted into the position of Farmer at the San tee agency, which he
held for four years.
In 1S75 he removed to Platte county, and settled in the Loup valley near the
west end of Monroe township, where he has continued to reside and as weather
reporter for Thk Columbus Journal and for the National and State Weather
Bureaus, he has been frequently heard through the pnblic prints.
Being a firm believer in the truth that a public trust is a public duty, espe
cially in municipal affairs, and this without regard to party predilections, he
served his township two years in the board of supervisors and six years as town
clerk, while his school district has received his services as director for 20 vears.
