The 1870 and 1880 censuses indicate that he practiced law there. The Gazetteer Of Washington County, Vt. 1783-1899 states that after George resigned from his Army post (Co. D, 4th VT) he lived at Alexandria and Washington, before moving to Colorado in 1880. He is shown in the 1885 Colorado State Census living in Saguache County (After his death??? Gives 'Death Month: May'). He died in Canon City, Fremont County, Colorado on May 22, 1885, according to the Gazeteer. Sophronia either stayed behind (she is not listed in the 1885 census) or returned to Washington, where she applied for pension benefits related to George's brief CW service on July 10, 1890. Alma M., who was born in NY about 1849, later ran a boarding house in Manhattan. She is shown living there in 1920. (Haven't found her in the 1930 census yet. Washington County, VT is messed up.)
