GEORGE A. CHAMPLIN is a native of Chautauqua County, N. Y., and was born 
September 9, 1832.  When three years old he, with his parents, Cyrus M. 
and Amy Champlin, moved to Indiana, where, in Marshall County, he grew 
to manhood.  In 1851 he entered Center College, of Michigan, where he 
pursued his studies four years, graduating in 1856.  He immediately came 
to Christian County, Ky., and for two years engaged in teaching at 
Lafayette.  He occupied his leisure hours in the study of law, which he 
had previously begun.  Later he entered the office of Phelps & McKee, of 
Hopkinsville, under whose instructions he completed his preparatory 
reading; was admitted to the bar in 1859, since which time he has been 
connected with the Hopkinsville bar.  In 1865 he formed a partnership 
with J. W. McPherson, which continued until 1877.  In 1866 he was 
elected to the office of County Attorney, which he filled with 
acceptance for a term of four years; was then elected to the office of 
County Commissioner of Schools, a position he has since held, and for 
which he has shown a marked fitness, and we deem it but just to say that 
no man has done more for the pubic good that has been done by Mr. 
Champlin in his policy of furthering the cause of public and popular 
education.  He is a Deacon in the Southern Presbyterian Church, and a 
member of the Royal Arcanum of Hopkinsville; he was married in the city 
of Hopkinsville in February, 1859, to Miss Mary Henry, daughter of 
Daniel and Lucy (Green) Henry.  She is a native of the county, and 
descends from one of the pioneer families.  To them have been born three 
children, two of whom are deceased; the other, Green Henry Champlin, was 
born in Hopkinsville July 20, 1863.
