Bio on George William Hanks:
George was a shoemaker by trade.
"At the time of the United Order being practiced in Utah, George and Eliza participated. George was used to the old English method of farming. That is, small plots of ground intensely cultivated and hand weeded. His wheat was never dirty and was almost perfect. However, because the United Order was not entirely successful, the wheat that George received in exchange for making shoes was not of the clean fine quality that he was used to. So, with the breaking up of the Order, George then cultivated his wheat patch as he was used to and plied his trade of shoemaking in addition.
George enjoyed the warmth of the sun and never liked being in the cold.
George became ill with Bright's disease when he was about 52 years of age, and for some five years he lay in bed unable to leave it."
