George Beale Sloan (June 20, 1831 – July 10, 1904) was an American businessman, banker and politician.
Life
George Beale Sloan was born in Oswego, New York, on June 20, 1831.[1] From 1864 to 1884, he was co-owner of the firm of "Sloan & Irwin, flour commissioners" which held a large number of business interests. From 1884 until his death, he was President of the Second National Bank of Oswego.
He was a member of the New York State Assembly (Oswego Co., 1st D.) in 1874, 1876, 1877 and 1879, and was Speaker in 1877.
He was a member of the New York State Senate (21st D.) from 1886 to 1891, sitting in the 109th, 110th, 111th, 112th, 113th and 114th New York State Legislatures.[2] He announced his retirement from politics on May 26, 1891.[3]
In 1892, as a member of the Committee of the Detroit Deep Water Ways Convention in Washington, D.C., he gave his adverse opinion on the ruinously high import duty on Canadian barley.[4]
Sloan was a presidential elector in 1896; and a delegate to the 1900 Republican National Convention.[1]
He died in Oswego on July 10, 1904, and was buried at Riverside Cemetery.[5]
His son George Beale Sloan Jr. committed suicide on July 10, 1914 (exactly 10 years after the death of his father), by jumping from a concrete bridge over Rye Lake at Kensico, New York.[6][7]
