from Richard Alan Lindaberry (0.144) in 1992 ...

BEGIN

George was born on April 6, 1882 in Fairmount, New Jersey and married Edith
Mabelle Davis on September 26, 1903.  Edith was born on May 4, 1878 and
is the daughter of John Davis (1844 - March 30, 1919) and Harriet Perry
(1850 - November 25, 1921).  Edith, known as "Mae", was born on the Davis
homestead on the Island in Pottersville, New Jersey and baptized in the
Pottersville Dutch Reformed Church on December 7, 1879.  Edith died in 1969.

George took over his father's store in Pottersville and ran it until
his retirement in 1954.  He was one of the very first Esso Standard Oil
dealers in New Jersey.  Esso awarded him a 50 year Gold Clock in 1954 in
recognition of his service.  George was one of the original founders of
the Peapack-Gladstone Bank in 1921 which today (1992) is a full service,
successful bank with its main office and banking facilities in Gladstone,
New Jersey and having many branch offices including the original Lindaberry
store (1973).  He served on the board as its vice-president until his death
in September of 1964.  He also was the longest Board of Education chairman in
the history of Bedminster Township, serving for over 35 years.  Along with
running the Lindaberry's Blue Knot Store he held an insurance broker's
license, a real estate license, and was a Notary Public.  He directed the
maintenance and operation of the Pottersville Water Company for 30 years.
He was one of six founding officers of the Pottersville Volunteer Fire
Company and served as its secretary for many years.  At his store he was
the Pottersville Postmaster for over 50 years.  He had the nickname of
"Mr. Pottersville" for he knew everyone and everyone knew him.

George and Edith lived in the large apartment over the store and all three
sons were born there.  In 1923, to the rear and north of the store George
built a new home which became the family homestead, the same structure
Richard Lindaberry (0.144) and his wife reside in now (1992).

Edith taught Sunday School for over 30 years.  She was the first president
of the newly formed Ladies Auxillary in 1926 and held the post for 10 years.
She was the church organist for 30 years and prior to that was a substitute
organist and choir director.  Richard Alan Lindaberry (0.144) says "Some
of my fondest memories from my childhood and as an adult are of stopping at
the homestead and having stories of yesterday and of her laughter reliving
them and then finishing by playing a few church hymns on the piano."

child iii - John Davis, born January 22, 1917, died July 29, 1991.  He was
born above his father's store.  John used the surname Lindabery (one r)
rather than Lindaberry as his father did.  He attended the Bedminster
elementary school system in Pottersville graduating from Somerville High
School in Somerville, New Jersey.  He attended Rider College in Trenton,
Mercer County, New Jersey and then joined the Johns Manville Company
in Manville, New Jersey.  While working at Johns Manville he went on to
Pa. I.C.S. and enrolled in mechanical engineering.  After 9 years of night
school he received his degree.  John married Cora Tiger on June 24, 1939.
They divorced.  John remarried Helen Drake of North Plainfield, New Jersey
on November 17, 1944.  Helen was born on October 2, 1914 in Oak Tree,
New Jersey and is the daughter of Charles Drake (May 12, 1881 - 1954) and
Florence Caroline Long (born May 8, 1891 in North Plainfield, New Jersey,
died January 2, 1950).  John was employed at Johns Manville for 39 years
to early retirement in 1972.  John and Helen lived for over 25 years in
their home on North Spring Street in Somerville.  Helen worked for the
Somerset County Clerks Office for 19 years.  Upon her retirement John and
Helen moved to Deerfield, Florida in 1973.  Helen still resides there (as
of 1992).  John is buried next to his father in the Pottersville Reformed
Church Cemetery.
