==Frank B. Tompkinson==
George's death was reported by [[Frank Benjamin Tompkinson]] (1890-1978), also of Harborcreek at the time. Frank was in leadership with the Erie Bible Truth Depot, now known as [Believers Bookshelf https://www.bbusa.org/] and located in Sunbury, PA.
Frank was born in Newport, Shropshire, England, and is one of several brethren who helped orchestrate a peaceful correspondence in 1921 between leadership of Grant meetings in America and Glanton brethren in Great Britain, after the Grants and a remaining dozen Glanton meetings in the U.S. had merged by 1911, becoming Booth-Grant brethren, according to W.R. Dronsfield's "The Brethren Since 1870". Frank was later instrumental assisting in a merger between the Kelly and Mory brethren in 1970, serving with the Kelly, or "Reunited" brethren (that include many of the former exclusive groups mentioned, with exception of some of the Booth-Grant brethren that are presently known to historians as Ames brethren).
