 EORGE W. HUFFMAN, junior member of the firm of Huffman Bros., brick manufacturers at Charleston, was born in this county March 6, 1846, and is consequently in the prime of life. During his boyhood and youth he attended the common schools and remained on the farm of his father until twenty years of age. He then rented a tract of land, to which he gave his attention for a period of four years, and in 1870 became associated with his brother in the manufacture of brick. This partnership continued about four years, and then our subject served a year on the Charleston police force. The following year he was variously employed, and subsequently was City Marshal of Charleston, and for two years thereafter was assigned to night duty on the police force. He afterward joined his brother again in the manufacture of brick, in which he has since continued with fair success. Mr. Huffman, on the 10th of October. 18:33, was united in marriage with Miss Mary L., the daughter of George and Jane Hutchinson, and who was born in Cambridge, Ohio, Feb. 28, 1860. Her father was a native of the same town, and in the fall after the birth of his daughter Mary, came West, and located at Charleston, where his death took place in February, 1871. The mother is still living. Mr. and Mrs. Huffman are the parents of one child, a daughter, Maude. They occupy a snug home, and enjoy the esteem and confidence of scores of friends.
