biographical information

[Arthur C Wakeley, Omaha, the gate city, and Douglas County, Nebraska, Chicago: S J Clarke Pub Co., 1917, page 703]
GEORGE NICHOLAS AULABAUGH.

The house of George N. Aulabaugh, furrier, is one of the most attractive commercial establishments of Omaha, representing all that is best in the trade, while the progressive business methods and thorough reliability of the proprietor constitute him one of the leading representatives of commercial life in the city. Ohio claims him as a native son, his birth having occurred in Dayton, February 10, 1877. His father, Josiah A. Aulabaugh, was born on a farm in Adams county, Pennsylvania, in 1844 and following the outbreak of the Civil war responded to the country's call for troops, enlisting in the Ninety-first Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry, with which he served for nine months. He was married in Ohio to Frances Glotfelder and in 1889 they removed to Omaha, where they still make their home. In that year the father established business as a furrier and continued actively in the trade until 1902, when he was succeeded by his son. Mr. Aulabaugh gives his political allegiance to the republican party and his religious faith is indicated by his membership in the Presbyterian church.

George N. Aulabaugh was a lad of twelve years at the time of the arrival of the family in Omaha, where he continued his education in the public schools until he reached the age of sixteen. He then joined his father in the fur business, thoroughly acquainting himself with every branch of the trade relative to purchases and sales and in 1902 succeeded to his father's business. He is now conducting the store under his own name and he has the highest class of trade, carrying a very extensive stock of all kinds of furs, which he manufactures into salable goods. He is an excellent judge of the value of furs and his purchases are thus wisely and judiciously made, while the enterprise and close application which are characteristic of his business career constitute factors in his growing success.

On the 19th of June, 1901, in Salt Lake City, Utah, Mr. Aulabaugh was united in marriage to Miss Louise Evans. They have a son, Robert E. Mr. and Mrs. Aulabaugh are members of St. Mary's Avenue Congregational church and Mr. Aulabaugh gives his political allegiance to the republican party. He is identified with several social organizations, including the American Canoe Association, the Carter Lake Club and the Rotary Club. Well known in Omaha, where he has resided from his boyhood days, his life is as an open book which all may read and each chapter tells the story of continued progress and advancement not only along the lines of legitimate trade but in the regard of his fellowmen as well.
