• Notes

  George was ordained as a Methodist minister in 1865. He served 1864-1867 in Paris, Brant County, Ontario, and 1868-1871 in St. Catharines, Welland County, Ontario. It is presumed that he moved to Brantford after that as in November 1871 he was elected president of the Brantford YMCA. He was unable to complete his term because, in 1873, he moved to St. Paul, Minnesota, USA. George served as the president of Hamline University from 1883-1912. Bridgman Hall at Hamline is named in his honour.
