=Hore, George Charles= (Hamilton, Ont.), was born in the Township of West Flamboro, County of Wentworth, July 20, 1868, and was educated at the West Flamboro Public School, the Hamilton Public Schools and the Woodstock Baptist College. His father was Francis William Hore, who came to Canada about the year 1837, when quite a young man, in company with his parents, brothers and sisters; he was born in Sussex, England, and was a grandson of Joseph Hore, of North Mundham, Chichester, Sussex, England; his mother was Sophia Fearman, who in the year 1833, with other members of their family came to Canada from Norfolk, England, in the New York Packet ship “Ontario,” being on the ocean six weeks, and two weeks on the Erie canal to Oswego, N.Y., and from that port took passage on a schooner to Port Dalhousie; thence to Hamilton in a farmer’s hay rack. F. W. Hore, father of the subject of this sketch, was a man of exceptional ability and was one of the earlier settlers who helped to build up the manufacturing industries of this country to their present high position, as is shown by the magnificent factory standing to his credit in Hamilton, known as F. W. Hore & Son, Limited, manufacturers of Fine Carriage, Waggon and Sleigh Wood-work. Following in his footsteps, George C. Hore commenced work in his father’s factory at the age of fifteen years, to learn the business, and with the exception of a short time at College, has been at it continuously and steadily ever since. The Company of F. W. Hore & Son, Limited, are extensive manufacturers, and their product is well and favorably known from the Atlantic to the Pacific. They have the pleasure of showing in their office, records of many first prizes and medals taken in the pioneer days of their business, testifying to the quality of their product. They are believers in the old saying that “quality will be remembered long after the price is forgotten.” The business has been established between forty and forty-five years, and Mr. Hore is ably assisted in the management by his brother and other officers of the Company. He was married September 21, 1912, to Miss Emma Lenz, of Hamilton. In religion he is a member of the Church of England; in politics, a Conservative, and is fond of outdoor sports—being a member of the Victoria Bowling Club and the Hamilton Gun Club.
