Note that the above obituary states George was a grandson of George Sage Henshaw. But this conflicts with other known (or published) genealogies, which seem to indicate his grandfather was Joseph Burnham Henshaw. It is possible that whoever provided the information for the obituary was in error, or perhaps the majority of independent genealogical data might be incorrect.
