    George is a dead end. I've checked half a dozen trees and it's just him and his wife. No children, quite a few brothers and sisters but he had no descendants.

    Wife died in 1959 I think and he apparently never remarried. I would like to know more but this is probably it.

    That appears to be correct. I am now curious about two things.

    1. How did this set end up way down south rather than in your collection. I will inquire with the dealer I got it from.

    2. Was George related to the Trostle Farm mentioned in the accounts of the battle of Gettysburg which may be more of a challenge.

    I think this might be one of the best items in my collection rarity and condition for its age wise. If at any point It becomes necessary for me so start parting with things, I will remember your research help and offer it to you as I am very grateful for the assistance.
