GEORGE WILL AND GEORGE WILL, JR

GEORGE WILL AND GEORGE WILL, JR.

 

 

HE following address was delivered by Grace

Reah Johnson on October 26, 1930, dedicating a

bronze memorial which marks the final resting

place of George Will and George Will, Junior, in the

cemetery at McArthur, Ohio.

George Will was a soldier of the American Revo-

lution, and George Will, Junior, served with Anthony

Wayne in the campaign of 1794 and also in the second

war with Great Britain, 1812-14. They had lain buried

in a neglected cemetery at Adelphi until members of

the Will family transferred their remains, in 1930, to

the cemetery at McArthur, and erected the bronze

tablet for the dedication of which this address was

delivered.

 

Grace Reah Johnson (Mrs. Arthur C. Johnson, Sr.), is the

great-granddaughter of George Will, Junior.
