	GEORGE JAMISON has been a resident of Harrison County from the time of his birth and is now numbered among the substantial representatives of farm industry in North Township.  He is a son of the late William Jamison, to whom a memoir is dedicated on the preceding page of this volume, so that further review of the family history is not demanded in this sketch.      George Jamison was born in Rumley Township, this county, Dec. 19, 1871, and the public schools of that township afforded him his youthful education.  When about twenty years of age he began working by the month as a farm employee, and after his marriage, in 1895, he was for four and one-half years employed as a workman on the line of the Panhandle Railroad.  Since that time he has marked his course by progressive independent enterprise as a agriculturist and stock-grower in his native county, his operations having continued on rented land until March, 1910, when he purchased a farm of 125 acres in North Township, to which he has since added until he now ahs a valuable farm property of 153 acres.  This homestead is the stage of his vigorous activities as an agriculturist and stock-grower, and as a loyal citizen he takes lively interest in all things touching the communal welfare and the advancement of the civic and material prosperity of his native county.  His political allegiance is given to the republican party, and his wife holds membership in the Presbyterian Church of Scio.      In March, 1895, was solemnized the marriage of Mr. Jamison to Miss Laura Minard, daughter of John and Rebecca Minard, of Rumley Township, and their only child, Gernard, married Miss Margaret Grissinger, their home being at the present time at Steubenville, Jefferson County.  Gernard Jamison entered the nation's military service in August, 1918, and at Camp Sherman, Ohio, he received his preliminary training for the duties that might be required of him in connection with the great World war.  Later he was transferred to Camp Taylor, Louisville, Kentucky, where he remained until receiving his discharge, the war having closed before the service of his command was required on the stage of active conflict.  Source: History of Carroll and Harrison Counties, Ohio - Chicago: Lewis Pub.
