Biography
George Lewis Shriver acquired his father's farm near Marsh Creek and the Emmitsburg-Gettysburg Road where he reared his family. He is buried in the Lutheran Cemetery at Emmitsburg, MD. P. J. Shriver states that George Lewis Shriver belonged to the first confirmation class of the Lutheran Church at Emmitsburg, a church which his father had helped to found and erect.
According to the Shriver House Museum of Gettysburg Penna on their website, George Lewis Shriver was in the business of manufacturing liquor and when he died suddenly in September, 1852, his son George inherited not only a 200+ acre farm, barn and distillery, but close to 3000 gallons of liquor.
