George Hamman, vice president of the Union Bank & Trust Company, of Houston, is a son of the late Gen. William H. Hamman, the able lawyer and pioneer of central Texas, and the gallant, popular leader, whose life is set forth in other pages of this work. This son was born at Calvert, Robertson County, Texas, on the 18th of April, 1874, being educated in the public schools of his native place and at the University of the South, Sewanee, Tennessee. After leaving school he became identified with the Cotton Seed Oil & Gin Company at Calvert, remaining thus employed from 1893 to 1898, when he became a clerk in the Planters' and Merchants' National Bank at Houston. Later Mr. Hamman was promoted to be cashier, which position he ably filled until the bank was absorbed by the Union Bank & Trust Company in 1907. At that time he was chosen vice president of the enlarged institution, and is not only efficiently performing its duties, but is financially interested in a number of outside commercial enterprises. In politics he is a Democrat.
In 1904 Mr. Hamman was united in marriage with Miss Josephine Milby, daughter of Charles Milby, of Houston, a well-known citizen of that place. Grandfather Todd, on the maternal side of the family, settled in Texas in 1830, and was a pioneer of such early date and strong character that a full biography of him appears elsewhere. Mr. and Mrs. Hamman are active in the work of the Episcopal church, as well as prominent in social circles. Historical Review of South-East Texas, Vol 2, by Dermot Hardy and Maj. Ingham S.
