Notes for George William Mount:

Mr. Mount was born at Sea Bright, moving to Rumson when he was a boy. One of his first jobs was in Zobel's bicycle shop at Sea Bright Later he became an automobile mechanic, growing up with the development of the electric and gas-fired vehicles. When he was in his twenties he moved to New York to continue his work in the automobile trade. In one of the Vanderbilt cup aces on Long Island he rode as a mechanic for Louie Disbrow.

I researched Louie Drisbrow and went back 5 generations. His Ancestor John D. Drisbrow, was born 9-9-1757 in South Amboy, Middlesex, New Jersey. He had 7 children one of who is Nicholas Morgan Drisbrow. Nicholas Morgan Drisbrow had a sister, Hannah Drisbrow who Married a Richard Mount (1740-1787). Richard Mount is John's Great Great Grandfather who fought in the American Revolution.

It would appear as though the Mount's and the Drisbrow family watched out for one another., even though 200 years in time had passed. That's quite a dedication to family. I now wonder if George knew about his Great Great Great Grandfather Richard and his Great Great Great Grandmother Hanna.

The funeral was held yesterday at Ridge wood, Brooklyn, and burial was at that place.

George William Mount, a former resident of Sea Bright and Rumson, died Friday at Los Angeles, California, at the age of 62 years. For many years he was employed by the Packard Motor Car Company of New York City, and in recent years was in charge of the firm's exporting branch. He moved to California two years ago because of his health.

Surviving are his wife, Mrs. Freda Mount; a son, Harold Mount of New York city; four brothers, Jesse Mount of Marlboro Gardens in Marlboro township; Thomas Mount, Arlington; John E. Mount, Fair Haven, and Corlies Mount, Ocean Grove, And five sisters, Mrs. Theresa De Becker, Washington Street Red Bank; Mrs. Lida Cook and Mrs. Florence Burns, South Amboy, Mrs. Clara Constanzo, New York City, and Mrs. Elizabeth Havaranis, Eatontown.

Albert lived with his daughter in New York till his death. After that Elfrieda and George Mount, my grandfather moved to Los Angeles. Elfrieda and George were Apartment managers for Hedwig Bachmann Kuenstler in an area called Bunker Hill Which still exists today. I remember as a small boy coming to visit them from New York,. My grandmother and I would take the Angels Flight every day downtown to the local Farmers market. The Angels Flight has the distinction of being the smallest railroad in History. It connected Bunker Hill with down town Los Angeles. I also remember sitting on my front porch looking at Parker Center in Los Angeles.
