George Gorball was born in Girard, Michigan on January 3, 1845. After serving several years in the Civil War, Gorball married Alice R. Hurlbut. They had a daughter, Isora, and later divorced. Gorball moved to Lincoln, Nebraska in 1874 and worked as an architect until about 1880, when he took his practice to Chicago. In 1910 he married Clara Dinsmoor. Later, Gorball moved back to his home in Michigan and died there on December 23, 1928. [4]
