#52Ancestors: George Walter Harless Plowing Through 1940s Yosemite

All my husband knew about his 1st great grand uncle is that he drove a snow plow in Yosemite. My father-in-law confirmed this, and told me that he thought his grandfather’s brother George had also been a miner in Madera. So when I saw the “plowing through” theme for this year’s 52 Ancestors project, I decided to try to find out a bit more about 1st great rand uncle George.

People Referenced: Harless, George Walter (1894-1976)
Applicable Surnames: Adkins, Broyles, Duncan, Gann, Harless, Hoffman, Lingel, Preiss, Tucker
Filed Under: Jeff's Ancestors Topics: #52Ancestors (2015), California, census records, obituaries, occupations
