When he was a small Child i n 1 8 95, his family moved to Moreland, Idaho where they became homestead er s i n t he area. On July 5, 1905 the family moved back to Plain City t o t ak e car e of his Grandpa Christensen. As the oldest of eleven children, George held a lot of responsibil i t y i n the care of his younger brothers and sisters. They depended o n h i m whe n help was needed. His father was away working a lot of the t im e an d hi s mother leaned on him during these times to help and suppor t h er wi th mu ch of the heavy labor that needed to be done. On October 14, 1908, he married Amanda Christine Olsen in Plain Cit y . D u ring their marriage they had seven children born to them.

George had a milk truck and delivered milk to some of the homes in P l a i n City. Once as George was coming home from the dairy, he discove r e d a f ire that had started in "the dummy," a train that provided serv i c e to nea rby communities, and had burned Charlie Taylor's barn. Geor g e u sed his l oad of milk to help put out the fire. (History of Plain C it y, p. 173) George worked for the creamery in Ogden for years, then moved his fa m i l y to Brigham City where he opened the dairy there. He lived in Brig h a m a nd worked at he Mutual Creamery until they closed the doors. Th e n h e dro ve milk truck and picked up milk from Preston, Idaho all th e wa y t o Ogden. George went to work for the government. He also worked for the Civi l i a n Conservation Corps, known as the CCC. Vera wrote the following: "I remember living in Brigham City and Wil l a r d had a bad flood. Some of us got to go down and see the damage . W h a t a muddy and rocky mess. Some time later, Dad worked for the CC C . H e w as sent with a crew of young men to build a road up to Willar d Pe a k an d then down to where they made a dam of rocks and cement tha t yo u ca n sti ll see on Highway 91 going thru Willard. The road was ste ep an d wi nding, and I think done by pick and shovel. No big machinery a s use d to day. At the top when Completed a BBQ was held for the public t o se e wha t ha d been done. At that time it was a real challenge. Dad st aye d wit h th e CCC a few more years, building roads up to Snow Basin, H yrum , an d Thayn e, Wyoming."
