Mr George Rosenshine was born in 1866. He came from New York City worked for the family firm of Rosenshine Bros. The company was involved in the import business, including ostrich feathers.

Maybelle was saved in Collapsible D, but George perished, his body was later recovered by the MacKay Bennett.
