GEORGE LANG is a native of Germany, and was born August 15, 1842, in
Klingen, Bavaria.  In 1853 his parents emigrated to United States, locating
in Louisville, where they resided until their death.  Our subject was
reared in Louisville, where he learned the cooper's trade.  He enlisted in
May, 1861, in Company E, Second Kentucky Federals, under Col. W. E.
Woodruff, and served in all engagements of that regiment, being twice
wounded, once at Stone River and again at Chickamauga, where he was taken
prisoner and confined in a rebel prison at Danville and Libby for over
nine months, when he was fortunately exchanged, being barely alive.  He was
mustered out of service in 1864--expiration of service--the regiment having
been mustered out before he was exchanged.  His health being precarious,
he engaged as a clerk in a grocery and continued until 1867, when he
embarked in the grocery business for himself and has continued since, his
present location being 215 First street.  He is a member of the G.A.R.  He
married in 1867 to Anna Glahn, of Louisville, but a native of Germany.
