Biography
George Hearst is Notable.
He was born on 03 Sep 1820 near Sullivan, Franklin County, Missouri, USA and his parents were Elizabeth and William George Hearst.
George F. Hearst married on 15 Jun 1862 in Steelville, Crawford, Missouri, USA to Phoebe Elizabeth Apperson.
Long before Park City became a world class mountain resort and venue for the 2002 Olympic Winter Games, it was famous as a silver mining town and boasts a lively and colorful past. Park City was discovered in 1868 when soldiers stationed in Salt Lake City traversed the mountain from Big Cottonwood Canyon to find silver. The completion of the Transcontinental Railroad in 1870 brought hopeful miners by the droves to Utah with their eyes set on becoming rich overnight. The discovery of exceedingly rich silver ore brought George Hearst, the father of William Randolph Hearst, to Park City. His Ontario Mine, purchased for $30,000, produced over $50 million in its lifetime. [2]
His son was William Randolph Hearst of journalism fame.
George F. Hearst was a U.S. Senator who died in office on 28 Feb 1891 in Washington, District of Columbia, USA and was buried at Cypress Lawn Memorial Park in Colma, San Mateo, California, USA.

What is the source for the middle initial "F"? I cannot find it (and if it existed, I would think we would know what it stood for).
