      George G Crow, dentist, Carmicheals, penna, was born 
in Fayette County, Penna, January 1, 1837.  He is a son of 
Micheal Crow and Sarah Gant Crow, also natives of Fayette 
County and of German origin.  His father was a miller and a 
farmer.  Dr Crow is the third in a family of thirteen 
children, five of whom reached maturity.  He was reared on 
the farm and attended the common schools of Fayette County.  
Early in life he began the study of dentistry at Smithfield, 
Penna.
  
      In 1859 he came to Greene County and located at 
Carmicheals where he has practiced ever since.  He has made 
a thorough study of his profession, and bears the well 
deserved reputation of being a first class dentist.  He has 
many friends in Greene County, and has had several students 
in dentistry who have since become successful practitioners.
  
      Dr Crow was the first dentist to locate in Greene 
County.  May 1, 1861, he married Sarah Darling, daughter of 
Daniel Darling.  Mrs Crow was of English descent.  They have 
three children: G W Crow; Ella Crow and Frank Crow.
  
      At the breaking out of the Rebellion the Doctor 
promptly enlisted in the Eighth Pennsylvania Volunteers, and 
was afterwards a member of Company I, Thirty seventh 
Regiment of U S Infantry.  This company was made up of men 
from Waynesburg and Carmicheals.  Dr Crow was the Third 
Sergeant, and was in eleven general engagements, among 
others the battles of Malvern Hill, Harrison's Landing, 
Second Bull Run, Antietam, Fredericksburg, the Wilderness 
and Spotsylvania.  At the close of his term he returned to 
Carmicheals, and continued his practice in dentistry.  He 
was instrumental in organizing the Dental Society of Greene 
County, and served five years as its president.  The 
Doctor's family are members of the M E Church, in which he 
takes an active interest, being a trustee and superintendent 
of the Sabbath day school.  In politics he is a Republican.
