George was the son of William "Shelton" Ulery and Nancy Jane "Jannie" Brennen.
George married Elizabeth C. Anderson (aka Bernice) about 1905. They were the parents of 1 child.
He worked as a salesman in Pike County, Illinois for Dr. Reeder's Family Medicines. He decided to go into politics in 1907. He was elected Calhoun County Clerk and was scheduled to take office in 1908.
George died of pneumonia on the day he was to have been sworn in as the new Calhoun County clerk. At the time of his death, he was 28-years-old.
He was survived by his wife, Elizabeth; an infant daughter, Bonnie; and his mother.
George's obituary indicated that his body was returned to Hardin, Calhoun County, Illinois for burial. While he was most likely buried at Hardin City Cemetery, no stone or written record has been found to confirm this. [Note: Elizabeth and daughter, Bonnie, were both buried at Hardin City Cemetery after their deaths.]
After George's death, Elizabeth and Bonnie moved to Bloomington, McLean County, Illinois. They lived there with Elizabeth's sister and brother-in-law, Alice and Joseph B. Truchon, and their family for a time.
Elizabeth later married Dr. Clifford Burbridge. She died in 1953.

CIRCUIT CLERK ELECT OF CALHOUN DIES IN ALTON.
GEORGE ULERY WAS TO HAVE TAKEN OFFICE TO WHICH HE WAS ELECTED, TODAY.
George Ulery, aged 28, circuit clerk elect of Calhoun county, died Sunday night at the home of John Bean, 310 west Fourth street, in Alton, from pneumonia. He was elected to the office of Circuit Clerk last November and was to have been sworn in today. His death will make it necessary for the present incumbent, W. D. Godar, to remain in office until a successor can be elected at a special election.
Ulery was formerly in business in Hardin and was doing well. He became a candidate for Circuit Clerk and when elected disposed of his business.
Ten days ago while out hunting he contracted a heavy cold which did not improve. He came to Alton a few days ago with his wife and little child to visit at the Bean home and while here he became much worse and died.
He belonged to a prominent family and was very popular. He defeated Godar in the Democratic primaries for the nomination last August. Godar had served one year filling a vacancy caused by the death of his predecessor, D. Watson.
The body was taken to Hardin this afternoon in the yacht, Transit, by Capt. E. H. Webb. It was accompanied by the widow and by Mrs. Ulery's brother, George Anderson, owner of Diamond island.
