George Cushing
George Cushing received a public education and was a farmer on the old homestead until 1897 when he rented a farm and became a general merchant in Kenilworth, Ontario. He was the Municipal Clerk for 12 years, succeeding his father in office; and also the Postmaster at Kenilworth, Ontario.
In 1907 George and his family moved to Regina, Saskatchewan where he managed the Cushing Brothers factory there. George served as an Alderman for Regina in 1911. After 1926, he became manager of R.L. Cushing Millwork in Moose Jaw. In 1928 Cushing Bros changed their company name to W.H.Cushing Ltd.
"Mr and Mrs A.B. Cushing returned this morning to their home in Edmonton. They expect to come back to reside in Calgary, very soon, owing to the firm of Cushing Bros. opening a new branch at Regina."
