George Smith Bedford, named for his father's business partner, George Smith (also buried in Mount Mora), was born after the 1850 census and died as an infant on the Oregon-California Trail on Sunday morning, May 16, 1852 in Nebraska Territory. The Nebraska Territory included Kansas and the diary of other pioneers puts their wagon somewhere between the Big Blue Creek (Marysville, KS) and Cottonwood Creek. His body was taken back by his uncle, Oliver H. P. Craig (his mother's half brother). George was buried in St. Joseph, MO, on Tuesday, June 1, 1852.
