Indiana.  Inter-State Publishing Company, Chicago, 1885.
George W. Gordon, Postmaster, Auburn, Ind., was born near Republic, Seneca 
Co., Ohio, Dec. 7, 1834.  In 1841, when he was seven years of age, he came 
to Indiana with his mother and stepfather, Lydia and George Ensley, and was 
reared in Butler Township, De Kalb County.  He received a good education, 
attending the district and select schools, and afterward the Methodist 
College at Fort Wayne.  He assisted his stepfather to clear and cultivate 
his farms, and endured all the hardships and privations incident to pioneer 
life, remaining on the farm, and teaching school during winter months, till 
the breaking out of the Rebellion.  Sept. 25, 1861, he enlisted in Company 
K, Forty-fourth Indiana Infantry, as a private, but was promoted to Orderly 
Sergeant.  He participated in the battles of Fort Donelson, Shiloh, siege 
of Corinth.  While on duty during the seige of Corinth he was taken sick 
with typhus fever and rheumatism and was sent to the United States 
Hospital at Keokuk, Iowa, where he remained under treatment from July till 
December, returning to his regiment on the battle-field at Stone river.  
He participated in all the further engagements of his regiment, including 
battles of Chickamauga and Mission Ridge.  After the latter battle his 
regiment was detailed to provost duty at Chattanooga, and remained there 
till the end of their term of service.  He was mustered out at Chattanooga, 
Tenn., Nov. 22, 1864, serving three years and nearly three months, and 
returned to Indiana.  Soon after he went to Fort Wayne and engaged in the 
art of photography, remaining there one year. He then returned to the old 
home in Butler Township and engaged in farming till 1871, when on account 
of failing health, the result of army life, he located in Auburn, and
