George WE Poe – Herb Juice Salesman

Tuesday, April 13th, 2010

A fun story I wanted to share from an unknown and undated newpaper clipping about George WE Poe.   This clipping is one of the sources I used to identify George WE Poe in my photos.  Many inherited photos are still unidentified.

George WE Poe lived a long life.  From piloting troop transports at at he end of the Civil War till his retirement in 1895, he saw and accomplished much.  His remaining days (48 years) were lived well in Georgetown, PA with an occasional business venture in Pittsburgh.
