George B. Denison



	It is the purpose of this volume to preserve an authentic record 
as far as possible of the lives and deeds of those who have assisted in 
the upbuilding of the varied interest of DeKalb county.  The rank that 
a city or county holds very largely depends on the achievements of its 
citizens.  Some add to its reputation by efficient public service, some 
by professional skill, some by increasing its manufacturing or 
commercial interests and some by cultivating its lands.  The subject of 
this sketch has been interested in both business and farm life and in 
both lines of endeavor he has so conducted his affairs as to not only 
win pecuniary success, but also the esteem of all who are familiar with 
his career.

	George B. Denison was born in 1887, on the Denison farm in the 
southeastern part of Grant township, and is the son of George O. 
Denison, whose sketch appears elsewhere in this work, therefore, 
further details of the subject’s ancestral history will not be given at 
this point.  George B. Dension has spent the greater part of his life 
on the farm on which he was born and he received a splendid education 
in the public schools of the community, completing his studies in the 
high school at Auburn.  He was reared to the life of a farmer and also 
engaged in the ice business on his own account, having built up a large 
business at Waterloo and surrounding country.  At the same time he is 
giving proper attention to the operation of his Grant township farm.

	The subject was married June 14, 1908, to Agnes Brown, daughter 
of Elvis E. and Lulu (Burns) Brown, native of Drake county, Ohio, the 
father being a traveling salesman for A. H. Perfect & Company, of Fort 
Wayne, Indiana.  To this union have been born two children: Elizabeth 
and Lulu Juanna.

	For a number of years Mr. Denison has taken a deep interest in 
military affairs, being a member of Company K, Third Regiment Indiana 
National Guard, and is at the present time second lieutenant of his 
company.  Mr. Denison is an expert rifle shot and has twice been 
selected for the state team in military rifle contests, in which he has 
acquitted himself with honor and credit.  Kind, courteous and affable 
in his relation with his fellows, Mr. Denison has won their esteem and 
because of his splendid character and attainments in life, he has 
earned a marked popularity throughout this section of the county.
