George was the second of two children. He married Ethel Madeline Thompson on April 25, 1917 at the parsonage of the Salem Evangelical United Brethren Church on Grove Street, Wilkes-Barre. The couple had four children: Glen Thompson, Roberta Dora, Merle George, and June Ruth.
George worked as a plasterer and roofer. While plastering in the new addition of the Miners Bank building in downtown Wilkes-Barre, he lost his footing on the scaffold and fell a distance of twenty feet, striking his head on a pile of angle irons. He died a few hours later of head injuries.
