'George W. Pool occupies a leading position in business circles of Upper Sandusky, where since 1911 he has successfully conducted a restaurant and bakery. He is a native son of this city, born March 14, 1878, his parents being George W. and Sarah (Bell) Pool. His father's birth occurred in Rich land county, Ohio, in 1840 and his entire business career was spent as a salesman. He died in 1878 and was survived by his wife until 1905, her death occurring when she was sixty- seven years of age. She was a native of Delaware county, Ohio, born in 1838. In their family were two children: Bessie, who makes her home with her brother; and George W., of this review. The last named acquired his education in the public schools of his native section and for one year attended high school. When he laid aside his books he enlisted for service in the Spanish American war in Company B, Second Ohio Volunteer Infantry, and upon his return was appointed deputy postmaster of Upper Sandusky and served for five years, discharging his duties in an efficient and capable manner. For two years following he worked as a traveling salesman and only abandoned this occupation, in which he was very successful, in order to buy the news depot, after selling which he was elected marshal of the town. He had at that time gained great popularity in this section of the state, as is evidenced by the fact that he is the only republican ever elected to the office of marshal in Upper Sandusky. When he had served his term of two years he again went upon the road, but in 1911 returned to his native city and here purchased the Bon-ton restaurant and bakery, which he has since conducted. His restaurant is one of the most attractive places of its kind in the town and receives a liberal patronage, while his bakery goods are of the highest quality. In the conduct of both branches of his enterprise Mr. Pool is meeting with a gratifying degree of success, because of his honorable business methods, his earnest desire to please his patrons and his close application to business. On the 21st of November, 1911, Mr. Pool married Miss Mamie R. Bowen, a daughter of Jerome and Anna (Welsh) Bowen. Mr. Pool attends the Methodist church and fraternally is affiliated with the Benevolent Protective Order of Elks, the Masons and the Improved Order of Red Men. He is a veteran of the Spanish- American war, having enlisted at the outbreak of hostilities in Company B, Second Ohio Volunteer Infantry, and served as corporal. He keeps in touch with his comrades of that time through his membership in Camp No. 73, United Spanish War Veterans, of which he is commander, and in all of his business and social relations is recognized as a man of genuine personal worth, who has won the respect and esteem of all with whom he has come in contact.'
