Historical Publishers, 1881
George C. Pearson, farmer;P. O. Mallet Creek; is a native of the township in which he
lives, and was born Aug. 26, 1833. Arza and Achsah (Lampson) Pearson, his parents,
are among the old and time-honored residents of York Township, and much of them
and the Pearson family will be found in another part of this work. The subject of this
biography passed his youth and early manhood with his parents, and, when his
majority was reached, he embarked on his own responsibility, by working his father's
farm until he was married. Oct. 15, 1862, he was united in marriage with Miss Lydia
L. Drake, daughter of Daniel and Almira Drake, and by her had two children - Frank
Leland, born in York Sept. 15, 1863, and Lulu May, born in York April 30, 1865. Mrs.
Pearson was born in Dickinson, N.Y., Aug. 2, 1841, and was one of a family of four
children, Seymour, Sumner and Lyman being the three besides herself. The two
former served in the late war, Seymour as Sergeant. Seymour died at Ft. Scott, from
disease contracted in the army, while Sumner was killed by a ball from the enemy, at
the battle of Winchester. Lyman is a teacher in the Reform School, at Plainfield, Ind.
Mr. Pearson's wife died from consumption, in July, 1868. Mr. Pearson is the owner of
60 acres of good land. He is a Republican in politics, and an intelligent and
enterprising citizen.1
