George's family joined the LDS church in 1906 in Damestadt, Germany. George Jr was born, a year later, in 1898 and the family immigrated to the USA on June 27, 1907. They landed in the Boston Harbor. Besides his father Georg and his mother Margaretha he came with his older sister, Elisabetha Maria Barbara Margaretha Fromm and his younger sister Dorothea Alexandra Fromm.

Eleven years later in 1918 he met and married Rachel Gedge Fromm who was Robert and Margaret Gardiner's granddaughter.

Geoge's mother died in 1951 in Raymond, Alberta, Canada. His father died in 1955 in the same town.

In his early years George Jr. was a fireman in Milford, UT. In 1919 George was putting out a fire at Woolworth's when he stepped on a nail injuring himself.

By 1940 George Fromm was an engineer for the Union Pacific Railroad Co. On day while driving a locomotive he saw his own son's plane crash 50 feet from the cab and ran to rescue him saying "It's my boy, it's my boy!"

George and Rachel bought their home on 1235 Indiana Avenue from Harold B. Lee. George dug a basement to the home by hand with pick and shovel. It was the best place to sleep in the summer!

Grandpa George told me that William planted 5 acres of corn by hand the year before he died. Or was it 50 acres? I need to review that story, which I have in his voice on tape. C
