roap Service Since 1876

George V. Massey, general coun-
sci of the Pennsylvania Railroad

and lived there continuously until
1895. He received an academic edu-
cation at Freeland seminary, now
Ursinus College, in Montgomery
county, Pa, and at a school at the
Delaware Water Gap, Pa. Mr..
Massey served with distinction in
the Civil War as a first lieutenant,
Delaware Volunteer Cavalry, and
on the general staff of the army as
assistant adjutant general and as
sistant inspector general, with the
rank of captain and lieutenant gem
eral, respectively. Mr.. Massey
was admitted to the Delaware bar in
October, 1865, and for thirty years
engaged in active practice of this
profession in this State, becoming
a solicitor for the Philadelphia,
Wilmington and Baltimore Railroad
Company in 1876. On August l,
1895, Mr.. Massey became assistant
general solicitor of the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company. On November
IL, 1902, Mr.. Massey was made gen
eral solicitor to succeed former
Judge Logan, and on November 26th,

the business of the company was
amended, creating the office of gem
eral counsel, to which office MIR.
