From Portrait and Biographical Album of Rock County Wis., publ. 1889, pages 752, 753 GEORGE R. BOSS, one of the leading young business men of Milton, is a dealer in men's furnishing goods and groceries. He was born in Allegany County, N.Y., on the 18th day of June, 1864, and is a son of Joseph and Orilla F. (ROGERS) BOSS, both of whom were natives of Connecticut, whence they removed to New York. The parents are now deceased, the death of the father occurring April 27, 1872, that of the mother in Milton, Jan. 30, 1883. There were four children of their family, as follows: Martin P., who is a mining engineer, now residing in California; Susie, who is Mrs. INGRAHAM, of Providence, R.I.; May E., who wedded John CUNNINGHAM, and makes her home in Janesville, Wis.; and George R. of this sketch. In August, 1880, our subject left New York, where the early days of his boyhood were passed, and came with his mother to Wisconsin, locating in Milton. For about three years he attended Milton College, and in the summer of 1883 went to Villa Ridge, in Southern Illinois, where he was engaged with a fruit dealer until the following autumn. He then returned to Milton, and entered upon his business career in that town as a member of the firm of M. E. and G. R. BOSS, dealers in groceries and men's furnishing goods, that connection continuing for about five years, when the junior member of the firm became sole proprietor of the business. He carries a full and complete stock in each department, and is building up a good trade, securing the confidence and respect of his patrons by his fair and honest dealing. Although a young man, he is a prominent and representative merchant of Milton, taking an active part in the advancement of its interests, and well deserves a liberal share ! of the public patronage. On the 13th day of January, 1889, Mr. Boss was joined in wedlock with Mrs. Stella M. PERRINE, who was born in Welton, Iowa, May 26, 1865, and is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. L. A. LOOFBORO, who are natives of Shelby County, Ohio. Mrs. BOSS was educated at Milton College, and is an intellectual, refined lady. Both Mr. and Mrs. BOSS are members of the Seventh Day Baptist Church, and in politics he is a firm supporter of the Republican party.
