NORTHERN NEW YORK - Genealogical and family history of northern New York;
GEORGE FRANKLIN, fourth son of Stephen W. and Mary (Cooper) Slosson, was born March 5, 1854, in DeKalb. At the early age of eight years he left home and went to Ogdensburg, where he was employed in a billiard room. He subsequently served in the same manner in Watertown, Rochester, and Cleveland, Ohio, going to the latter place when fifteen years of age.
Although his opportunities for attending school were very limited, he has been a reader and student of men and affairs, and is thoroughtly well informed and abreast of the times. At sixteen years of age he became cashier of the largest billiard room in the world, located at Chicago.
His total attendance at school did not exceed thrity days, but he was accustomed to study while riding on trains and at night. He was accustomed to work in the billard room from eight in the morning until one o'clock of the following morning, yet in the midst of this strenuous life, and in spite of the temptations to idleness attendant on such a life, and as a natural consequence of his short hours of rest, he kept on with his studies, and is among the best informed men of the present (1910) day.
He first opened a billard room on his own account in a small room on Vesey street, New York City, and subsequently conducted a billard room at 171 Monroe Street, Chicago, and Oct 9, 1887, took possession of his present place, which had been opened in 1863, at 22d street and Broadway, New York City.
In the meantime his fame as a billarist had become world-wide, and he traveled about the world entering contests, and crossed the ocean thirty times, and has long been known as champion of the world in all styles of billiard playing. is establishment in New hyork is one of the finest of its kind, having the best equipment that money can procure, and is daily thronged by people interested in that line of amusement, Mr. Slosson is a man of open and candid nature, of democratic habits and is known and esteemed by many people on both sides of the Atlantic ocean.
He is liberal in religious belief, and classes himself as independent in politics, usually voting the Democratic ticket in local matters and sustaining the Republican party in general elections.
He married (first) October, 1886, in Chicago, Heley Foley, a native of that city, who died in 1887, leaving daughter, Katherine, who now resides with her father. He married (second) 1881, in St. Louis, Missouri, Helen Hogan, born in Chicago, daughter of ohn and Mary Hogan of that city.
