      George was a good man and brought up his children to obey the Golden Rul e. Mr. Pelton in his early days at Farmer's Valley bought and sold lar ge quantities of fur. In later years he was occupied in the lumber busine ss selecting timber lands for speculators. He also did much work as a la nd surveyor. An extract from his obituary, "Mr. Pelton was one of the fir st settlers of McKean County. Coming here when there was only a bridle pa th to Warren and Ridgeway through Potter county to Wellsboro. At one ti me he sold goods in Smithport. He lived to see the county he chose for h is home as a wilderness transformed to a commercial emporium and beco me a network of railways and draining a most productive oil field. His mo rals and integrity won for him the friendship and esteem of all who knew h im, whose sympathies now go forth to and remain with his widow and relativ es in this their time of bereavement."
