p. 841 George W. Hansel, Esq.
George W. Hansel, a prosperous farmer and stockraiser, and since 1877 the principal trying justice
of the peace in this section of Fayette County, is a highly esteemed citizen of Farmington, Wharton
township, where he resides. He was born in Allegany County, Md., of German stock. His father,
George, came with his family, among whom was George W., in 1833 to Farmington, when the latter was
about seven years old, he having been born July 4, 1826. George Hansel, the father, died in 1844, at
the age of forty-two, leaving six children, and was buried on the old farm, where George W. has
resided since his father's death, and which about 1850 he bought, - a valuable farm of about four
hundred acres, lying along the line of the old National road. Mr. Hansel has since made considerable
additions to the old homestead.
Mr. Hansel is in religion a Presbyterian, an elder of Mount Washington Presbyterian Church of
Farmington, and though not ardent in politics, belongs to the Republican party, and was formerly an
old-line Whig. He has always taken deep and intelligent interest in the common schools of his town,
having belonged to the board of school directors since he arrived at his majority.
Mr. Hansel married in 1852 Miss Mary Romesburgh, daughter of Mr. John Romesburgh, of Farmington, by
whom he has had thirteen children, all living, - eight boys and five girls.
