    Notes:

    Family History Document:
    From family papers: He was born in New York in 1858 and moved with his parents to Manitowoc, Wisconsin in 1863. He married Mary Sharding in 1886. They had two children, Rose and William. After Mary died, he married Elizabeth Berendson in 1893.

    They had four children: Martha, Leo, Eunice, and Benny. George operated the old railroad station, across from the old YMCA on 2nd St. (in Manitowoc?) where his first wife lived. He then operated a barber shop, then a restaurant, then a grocery store, and worked for the railroad shop as a car repair man for 20 years. He died in 1947.

    From handwritten account by Rosemary (Gillen) Dawson, 2/94: My grandfather died in 1947 when I was 24 years old, but I did not know him very well. His second wife [Elizabeth (Berendson) Gillen] did not like my father (her stepson) [William P. Gillen] nor my mother [Mary (Schimberg) Gillen]. Her wedding gift to them was a package of wooden clothespins (10¢).
    My grandfather would come to see us on the sly. He had been a barber at some time and he would cut my dad's & brothers' hair in our basement. He was funny too. He called aristocrats, "those damned asstocrats." By aristocrats he meant the government and people like Rockefeller. At one time we had a lock of Buffalo bill's hair which he cut when the Wild West Show was in town. He also had an ice cream store for a while. I remember going to his home when I was in high school and college to visit him. His wife didn't keep me out, but she wasn't cordial. His first wife, Mary Sharding, died when my dad was born. She had another child, my Aunt Rose, who was about 2 then.

    Obituary:
    DAWSON, Rosemary Gillen age 85. Beloved (single) Mother of; William (Anna), Roger, Mark (Rowena), Thomas (Lisa), Paula Caddo and Cathy Cowles (Craig). Dear sister to Paul Gillen. Cherished Grandmother to 16. Great- Grandmother to many. Born in Kaukauna Wisconsin, longtime Mason resident. Died at home, surrounded by family, on January 3. Mrs. Dawson was a well respected Mason elementary school teacher. A pioneer whose sometimes non-traditional teaching methods brought out the best in every student long before it was acceptable to buck the status quo. Many former students would routinely correspond with her to remind her of the difference she made in their life. One former student even honored her by naming her first daughter Rosemary. A highly intelligent woman, she was a voracious reader and Mensa member. A lifelong educator and faithful patron, she was instrumental in the development of the new Mason Library. Her diplomacy and sense of fairness were put to good use during multiple terms with the NEA negotiations committee throughout her tenure with Mason City Schools. She will be fondly remembered for her firm belief in education, her originality and spontaneity, her sense of humor and devotion to family. Mom was an avid Green Bay Packer fan, an above average bowler and Scrabble aficionado. Forever the teacher, Mom has donated her body to the University of Cincinnati, College of Medicine. She was enriched by all who touched her life and will be missed by all whose lives she touched. If desired, donations can be made to Vitas Hospice, 11500 Northlake Dr. Suite 400 Cincinnati, OH 45249 or the Mason Library. Please send your recollections of Mom/Mrs. Dawson to ccowles@cinci.rr.com. A celebration of her life is being planned by the family. Time and place will be published in the Mason Pulse Journal.

    Rosemary married Dawson, William Joseph 15 Jul 1946. William was born 11 Feb 1924, Louisville, Jefferson, Kentucky, USA; died 12 Sep 1967, Los Angeles, Los Angeles, California, USA. [Group Sheet]
