His son, also named George, was an outstanding student of mine at Northampton High School. The family resided in a company home. The home had running water but they needed the kitchen stove to heat the water. The only heat was provided by a kitchen stove, which was located in what is the present basement of the home. Mr. Maureka recalled, “After school we chopped wood for our winter supply. In the winter we sat around the stove until bedtime and
then ran up the stairs and covered with a feather tick. In the morning we rushed down to warm up next to the stove.” He pointed to the back yard and said, “It was dug up by hand and converted into a beautiful garden.
