    GEORGE W. BREWER is a son of George and Anne (CARRICO) Brewer. The father was born in Maryland, in 1802, and when a lad moved with his father to Kentucky, where he grew to manhood. In 1827 he married our subject's mother, who was born in Kentucky, in 1807. Three years later they came to Indiana, and located in Daviess County in 1831, where they spent the remainder of their lives in agricultural pursuits. The father died in 1867, and the mother in 1869.
    
    Subject was born in 1832. He attended the oldtime subscription schools, and on reaching manhood his father gave him eighty acres of timber land, which he began to clear. By hard work and good management he has increased his farm to 140 acres, 100 acres being under cultivation.
    
    In 1857 he was married to Josephine L. MONTGOMERY, born in 1827. She is a daughter of James and Julia (HOWARD) Montgomery. To them were born these children: Julia A., Joseph Mathew, Mary A. and Annie E.
    
    All the family are members of the Catholic Church. Mr. Brewer is a Democrat and has been very successful in his business enterprises.
