GEORGE W. NULL, farmer; P. O. Springboro; born on the old Null place in Clear Creek Township, July 12, 1839; is a son of Jacob and Nancy Null, whose history is given in sketches of Edward and Joshua Null. Our subject grew to manhood, brought up to farm labor; was married Nov. 12, 1860, to Mary E., daughter of Samuel and Keturah Dearth. Mrs. Null died Sept. 29, 1879 aged 39 years. On Nov. 12, 1880, he married for his second wife Sarah E., daughter of Henry and Ellen Butt, residents of Franklin Township, this county, by whom he has one child - Mary Ellen, born Feb. 11, 1881. Mr. Null has made farming his occupation; soon after his marriage, he bought and located on the place where he now lives and has since resided. This place he purchased of the heirs of John Miltenberger. Mr. Null has never desired office, but is a quiet, unpretending farmer - a good neighbor and a worthy citizen, and is a devoted member of the Methodist Church, and has acted as Steward in the same for many years.
