George Howard Paul, Milwaukee — Born at Danville, Vt., March 14, 1826; died at Kansas City, May 18, 1890.
He was a graduate of the University of Vermont (1847) and of Harvard college law school (1848), and appointed postmaster of Burlington, Vt., in 1849. In 1851 he arrived at Kenosha, Wis., being postmaster there from 1853 to 1861, and mayor in 1856-57. In 1861 he removed to Milwaukee, of which city he at once became a prominent citizen, being superintendent of schools (1870-71) and holding many other local offices at various times.
His state positions were: member of the board of railway commissioners during the Potter law excitement (1874-76); member, and for the most part president, of the board of state university regents (1874-89), and state senator (1878-81). He was for many years editor of the Milwaukee News. Under President Cleveland he served as postmaster of Milwaukee, and for a long period was manager of the Milwaukee Cement Company. He removed to Kansas City, where he had business interests, in 1889.
Mr. Paul's reputation in Wisconsin chiefly rested on his active interest in educational affairs. — Presented by his widow, Mrs. Pamela S. Paul.
