The home of the boy Dewey was provided
with all those comforts that well-to-do
physician could secure. The home was an
old colonial mouse on State street Mont
pelier. opposite the state house of Vermont.
1t was here that George was born. nearly
sixty-two years ago. He was a sturdy boy
and he had the usual experiences of a New
England lad. He was at times difficult to
manage by his teachers. did his share of
fighting when he thought he had to resort
to force TO preserve his rights and was in
volved in various school day escapades
The Onion river swept through the mead
ows back of his home. and early in lift. he
learned to sail a boat He was given to
athletic sports and held his own when there
