He built himself a cheap house on his farm on the Skippack. For many years they climbed up a ladder to go upstairs. The house was only a storey and a half high and had no parlour but had a sleeping room downstairs, on the first floor. He was a weaver by trade and he wove all their goods while his wife did the spinning as long as the children were small. He lived to be an old man, and in is old age he would often walk up to see his brother David on the old homestead. George and Ann are buried in Towamencin Mennonite Cemetery. They had five children...there may have been others that died in infancy but nothing is known of these.1
