EORGE B. FOUTS, artistic barber and hair-dresser, of Dunlap, has been a resident of the place since the autumn of 1888. He is a native of Hawkeye, and was born November 1, 1865, in Shelby County, Iowa. He is the son of Noel and Martha (Simpson) Fouts. He was reared to farm life, and educated in the public schools. When about twenty years of age he started for himself and followed farming for three years, after which he engaged in the barber business, which he has since followed.
He was united in marriage September 30, 1885, in Shelby County, Iowa, to Inez Miller, who is the daughter of David and
Jane (Kuykendall) Miller. Our subject’s wife was born in Sarpy County, Neb., July 31, 1865. Mr. and Mrs. Fouts are the parents of two children — Vernie M. and Fred S.
Politically, Mr. Fouts is a Democrat, but cases his vote for the man he considers best qualified to fill the office.
His tonsorial parlors are fitted up in the best possible style, and he keeps none but the best of assistants around him.
