Note: His WW 1 draft registration was completed in Lansing, Ingham County, Michigan. Dairy was a way of life for the family of George Jacob BeVier, 8th generation removed from Louis Bevier the original patentee in the lineage of Louis' son Samuel. With wife Florence and a large family, mainly boys, the children were taught a work ethic where each child was assigned daily chores. These chores ranged from cleaning stables to milking cows and bottling raw milk to be offered for sale around Lansing, Michigan. A true dairy farm; cattle were kept for milk production, fields were tilled for the production of grain and hay as feed for the cattle, and a small facility was maintained for the handling of the milk. Steam and hot water were generated from a small boiler for use in cleaning and sanitizing. Ice was hauled back to a cooler used for storage of the bottled milk by a truck which was also used for milk delivery seven days each week. Milk was also purchased from a select number of farms in the immediate area. The same truck used for delivering milk and hauling ice was also used as a vehicle for picking up milk from the surrounding farms.
Until the mid 1930's, the measure of milk quality was the depth of the cream line. At that time, following an outbreak of TB, the State of Michigan passed laws mandating the pasteurization of milk and the original small facility was merged with another facility. Necessary equipment was added and that facility successfully processed milk for another 20 years before it was also merged with yet another larger facility which is still in operation as we approached the year 2001.
In 1900, he was living in Ingham County, Michigan, in 1910 he resided in Ward $4 of Lansing, Michigan and he was a machinist in an auto factory.
The Social Security Death Index lists his death as November 1954.
