General Notes: Husband - George Bowman Beringer

---

He had excellent educational advantages, and equally good opportunities for business training, having been brought up in the midst of important agricultural and oil activities, with whose details he has been familiar since boyhood. He continued to work for his father on the farm, and was engaged as pumper at the oil lease, and remained at the old home for about a year after his father's death, then buying his own home property, a tract of fifty acres which was part of his father's estate and originally included in the old White farm, which had been divided into several tracts. It was situated three miles south of Franklin, on the Pittsburgh pike, and was maintained in model condition under his ownership. He was well occupied with the care of this place and his responsibilities in connection with the Beringer estate, in the discharge of which he showed himself a capable business man. Mr. Beringer was a public-spirited citizen, but he had no taste for public affairs and no ambitions for office. On political matters he was a Democrat, like his father, and supported the ticket faithfully, but gave little time to such things, keeping busy in the management of his private interests. By way of recreation he enjoyed such hunting as the locality afforded. [CAB, 640]
