[p. 991] who has been a resident of Enon Valley, Lawrence County, Pennsylvania, since 1906, is actively engaged in the practice of his profession and commands a large and lucrative practice throughout that vicinity. He was born in Darlington Township, Beaver County, Pennsylvania, May 5, 1875, and is a son of William J. and Louisa (McClure) McGeorge.
James McGeorge, paternal grandfather of our subject, was an early settler in Darlington Township, Beaver County, and ranked among the substantial men of the time in that community. He and his wife reared a family of nine children, as follows: Catherine, now deceased; Ellen, wife of S. S. McClure; Julia, wife of James Patterson, both now deceased; Robert, deceased; William James, father of the subject of this sketch; Anna Priscilla; John; Martin, and Emma, wife of H. Ewing.
William J. McGeorge was born in a log cabin on the old home farm in Darlington Township, Beaver County, in 1846, and has lived there all his life. He is a prosperous farmer and a highly respected citizen, one who takes a deep interest in public affairs and gives earnest support to such measures as are calculated to benefit and develop his community. He married Louisa McClure, who is also a native of Darlington Township, and they are parents of three children—Frank L., Dr. Charles Samuel, and Mattie, wife of Jefferson McCoy.
Frank L. McGeorge, oldest son of William J. and Louisa McGeorge, was born on the old home place October 23, 1870. He was reared on the farm and in 1900 purchased a farm of eighty-two and one-half acres in Little Beaver, Lawrence County, on which he moved after his marriage. He was married October 22, 1902, to Miss Elizabeth Marshall, and has a son named Marvin.
Charles S. McGeorge, whose name heads this record, was reared on the home farm in Darlington Township, Beaver County, and received a good education in the common schools, supplemented by a course in college at Slippery Rock. In 1896 he began preparation for the medical profession, matriculating in the medical department of the Western University of Pennsylvania. He was graduated from that institution with the class of 1900, receiving the degree of M. D. He immediately thereafter embarked in practice at Mars, Butler County, Pennsylvania, where he continued with uninterrupted success some five years. At the end of that time, wishing to enlarge his field of operation, he located at Enon Valley, in November, 1906. He has a wide acquaintance throughout this section, and is accorded the confidence and esteem of his patients and fellow citizens to an unusual degree. His office and residence are located at the corner of Vine and Church Streets. Dr. McGeorge is the owner of a one-third interest in an undivided farm of eighty-four acres in Little Beaver Township, Lawrence County, his father and brother owning the remainder.
In January, 1900, the Doctor was united in marriage with Miss Ada B. Kerr, a daughter of N. B. Kerr, of Mars. Fraternally he is a member of Blue Lodge No. 411, F. & A. M., at Enon; also of the Chapter at Butler and the Commandery at Greenville. Politically he is a Republican. In religious attachment he and his estimable wife are members of the Presbyterian Church.
