Here is what I found: Stevens, E.G. page 191 telegraph operator, 442 Randolph Street, Meadville G.B. page 123 farmer, Summerhill township, Norrisville Post Office G.W. page 26 farmer & blacksmith, Conneaut township, Conneautville George W page 127 farmer, Summit Township, Harmonsburg Post Office Business: Stevens & Hill, page 133 merchants, Townville Stevens, CP & Co. page 60 undertaking and furniture, Linesville Stevens, G.L. & Co, page 191 physician and oculist, 442 Randolph Street (G.L. is Gilbert L. Stevens I think) There are other Stevens also but no more G or George's. Let me know if you would like other names. I hope this helps.
