George William Knox born in Belgrade, Me., July 4, 1829, spent his time until nearly seventeen years of age with his parents. He then determined to leave the paternal home and go out into the great world to seek his fortune. In the early spring of 1846, he left Belgrade and walked to Hallowell, where he took passage in the old steamer "Huntress" for Boston. There was sharp competition at that time between the boats plying on the Kennebec, and he secured his ticket for the small sum of twenty-five cents. He landed in Boston on the 6th day of April, and for a time worked at odd jobs, never turning away any kind of work that would pay. He worked for a while as brakeman and then as freight conductor on the Fitchburg railroad, but two years later he was back in Maine and driving piles in Back Cove, Portland. He remained in this vicinity for about five years, engaged in various contracts, when he again struck out and found employment as conductor of a train running between Wilmington, Delaware and the Peninsula. In 1856, he went westward and engaged in the lumber business in Iowa, and here he lost all his accumulations. He then returned and found employment as conductor of a sleeping car running between Philadelphia and Washington. It was in the sleeper conducted by him that President-elect Lincoln made his famous trip to Washington to assume the duties of his office in the spring of 1861. During the first three years of the War, Mr. Knox travelled either as sleeping car conductor or as mail agent.
The immense development and gigantic proportions of the express business during the war suggested to Mr. Knox the possibilities in this line, and in 1864 he gave up railroading and started a small express business with a single team that cost about $125. He subsequently took a partner with a similar outfit, but being dissatisfied with the work of his partner, he soon left him and continued business alone. There was plenty of hard work connected with the business, but Mr. Knox was a stalwart man and ever ready to put his own shoulder to the wheel. Meantime the business grew upon his hands beyond his most sanguine expectations. Government work came to him easily and he has done some of the heaviest transportation jobs ever undertaken in Washington. He handled all the granite for the completion of the Washington Monument, and most of the material for the State, War, and Navy Department buildings. In the adornment and embellishment of the National Capitol during the last twenty-five years, Mr. Knox has done nearly all of the heavy transportation required. He has had the handling of nearly every statue erected, has moved the heavy monumental work to the National Cemetery at Arlington, put in position the great safes used in the various departments, and for hauling safes and putting them in position, he constantly employs three gangs of men. His place of business in the near northwesterly foreground from the National Capitol, on B and Second Streets, occupies nearly a city square. It is built of brick and is a very imposing structure. Here he has a storage room of vast proportions, and his business is fully equal to its capacity.
Over the east branch in the District, and Prince George's County, Mr. Knox has a farm of nearly two hundred acres, all underdrained with tile and furnished with comfortable buildings in the New England style. He has three large barns in which he stores annually, two hundred and fifty tons of hay. His farming operations are extensive, and in improved farm implements, he keeps abreast of the times. His Washington stables supply an almost unlimited amount of dressing, and by this means the highest degree of fertility is reached and maintained. He gives employment to hundreds of men, and his business requires the labor of nearly two hundred horses. He has his own blacksmith and carriage shop, and taken altogether, his is a very large establishment, much the largest private express establishment in the country. He is well known by everybody at the National Capitol and is deservedly popular. He does a square business, and enjoys the fullest confidence of his numerous patrons, including the governmental departments, whose transportation is almost exclusively entrusted to him. He does not forget his native State, but makes occasional visits to the valley of the Kennebec and the home of his boyhood days in the good old town of Belgrade. He seeks out Maine citizens temporarily residing in Washington, and delights in showing them courtesies in various ways. He has but few Knox relations now residing in Maine. Of his father's children numbering nine, only two survive beside himself, and both of these are with him in Washington. Of his mother's family, the Sherburnes, he has several aunts and uncles living in Maine.
