He sent the message that "The Yank's are coming" from Virginia to Jacksonville, Fla.
George was reared a Catholic. He was a close friend of his brother-in-law Tadd Hill who was easily converted to be Mormon and was influential in converting George and his wife Diana. George and his wife and two daughters were baptised a
Mormon 6 weeks after the Hills were baptised.
George became an ELDER of the LCD church on 3 Jan 1898 by Apostle Francis M. Lyman.
1st Branch President of the LDS Church in Florida.
[From Viola Canova Clarke notes:] When George married Diannah, they moved into a little log cabin three miles south of Sanderson. He had only ten dollars when they were married. He first worked in his father's store for $30.00 per month.
He began making money by hauling logs, getting up at three o'clock in the morning. He was anxious at the outset to be successful businessman like his father.
George had success in business. At one time when purchasing a little ranch, he paid $8000 in gold which he carried in a little birdshot pouch. At the time of his death, George was considered the wealthiest man in Baker County. He owned a
bout ten thousand acres of grazing land, one thousand head of cattle, turpentine trees, timber land, a large mercantile store, a hotel, a large cotton gin, and orange groves [via "Baker County in Review"].
George Paul Canova was Assassinated on 5 June 1898, because he became a member of the LDS church.
