Pearson, George O.

is ill at his home in Joplin Missouri. We hope he will be back in the field again soon. We feel very grateful to Mr. Pearson since he went for help for us when he found us stranded in a ditch on Highway 166 not long ago. [From A Chat with Chad article]

Nobody seems to remember just when George Pearson started mining. Evidently it was as soon as he quit riding stick horses.
