George Eede, a prosperous farmer of Gosfield South, has the farm upon which the father, George Eede, located shortly after coming to this country, and where he has met with success, due to energy, perseverance and upright dealings.
George Eede was born Jan. 6, 1851, in the house that stood until 1903, son of George and Elizabeth (Arner) Eede, mentioned elsewhere. He received a common school education, and as a boy, with his brothers, assisted his father in clearing the land. Mr. Eede owns 200 acres in Lots 5 and 6, 4th section, 110 of which is cleared. He engages in general farming, and is one of the very thrifty farmers of his neighbourhood. In 1896 he erected a large brick house, that would attract attention even in a city, and there he and his family make their home.
In politics Mr. Eede is a Reformer, and he has never aspired to public office. In religious matters he is a member of the Baptist church.
On Dec. 25, 1878, Mr. Eede was united in marriage with Emily Fox, who was born in Colchester South, Sept. 7, 1856, daughter of Peter and Jane (Stockwell) Fox, farming people of Essex, and members of prominent pioneer families. To this happy union the following children have been born, all of whom are still living, and all but one of whom are at home: Annie, Albert, Eliza, Mary and Martha. Albert married Valeria Wigle, and now resides on a part of the homestead farm.
