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 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.
