Biographical History

George Edward Sirrine (1853-1908) was one of the first settlers of Mesa, Arizona and a pioneer in Southeastern Idaho.

George Edward Sirrine was born July 4, 1853, in San Bernardino, California. He soon moved with his family to Salt Lake City, Utah and later to Paris, Idaho in 1864. In 1877, he was called to help establish the new community of Mesa, Arizona, where he farmed and ranched. On November 6, 1879, George married Sarah Oakey in Salt Lake City.

In 1886, he returned permanently to live and farm with his family in Dingle, Idaho. On January 21, 1908, he died of pneumonia.
