GEORGE E. MCCANN was born in New Gloucester, October 18, 1865. He was educated at the Freeport High School and Maine Wesleyan Seminary at Readfield, graduating in the class of 1883. He read law with Frye, Cotton & White, and was admitted to the Androscoggin bar in April, 1888, and very soon after formed a copartnership with Hon. D. J.

In 1890 he was elected councilman from ward four, and was chosen president of the board. He was elected city treasurer in 1891.
