("Embracing Wasco, Sherman, Gilliam, Wheeler, Crook, Lake, & Klamath Counties") Spokane, WA: Western Historical Publishing Co., 1905. p. 882. GEORGE F. MAUPIN was born in Shelby county, Missouri, January 10, 1858, the son of Charles M. and Elizabeth (Barton) Maupin, the former a native of Virginia and the latter of Kentucky. The father served during the Civil War under General Price, of the confederate army, and died in Missouri, in August, 1896. The mother is now living, at the age of eighty-two years, in Clarence, Missouri. The brothers and sisters of Mr. Maupin are, Daniel, Roscoe, Charles M., Mrs. Mary R. Kirby, John T. and Fannie Maupin, all of whom are still residents of Missouri with the exception of the last named brother, who resides in the Warner valley, Oregon. Mr. Maupin grew to manhood in his native county and state and came west to Glenn county, California, in 1882. He came to Warner valley in December, 1888, and engaged in riding the range as a cowboy. Soon afterward, however, he took a pre-emption claim and engaged in the cattle business. In September, 1900, he entered the sheep business in conjunction with his cattle business, and now has large numbers of each of these animals and is making a success of his business. His home is one and three-fourths miles south from Warner Lake postoffice, where he has two hundred and forty acres of choice land. His land is well improved and is irrigated by the Twenty-mile creek ditch. Alfalfa, natural hay, and fruit are his principal products. Mr. Maupin was married March 3, 1895, to Mrs. Ella (Brooks) Platt, a native of the state of California. At the time of her marriage to Mr. Maupin, Mrs. Platt was the mother of three children, Anna, Dora and Rufus. Mr. and Mrs. Maupin are parents of three children. Myrtle I., Grace V. and George E. Mr. Maupin is a member of the Eagles fraternity, and one of the prominent citizens of his locality. Upon coming to Warner valley in 1888, his entire estate consisted of one horse and a buck-board, but he is now rated as being in comfortable circumstances. ******************* Submitted to the Oregon Bios.
