GEORGE E. STEENROD

George E. Steenrod, who is associated with Mr. (David H.) Milligan in the
ownership and management of the St. Clairsville Gazette, was born in 1860,
a son of Daniel Steenrod. He was reared on a farm and given the advantages
of the common schools, after which he pursued a course of study and became
a graduate of Columbus business college. After completing his studies he
accepted a position in a wholesale grocery store in Steubenville, where he
remained two years, after which he returned to Belmont county, and was
engaged upon the farm until the fall of 1889, when in company with Mr.
Milligan, he purchased the St. Clairsville Gazette.
