Originally published in 1900 |
GEORGE LIMOUZE, junior member of the real estate brokerage and insurance
firm of Wallace & Limouze, of the Town of Union, was born in
West Hoboken, N. J., July 31, 1866, his father being French and his mother
of German descent. He attended the public schools of his native town until
the age of twelve, when he began active life as errand boy in a large
manufacturing establishment in New York. Since then he has practically
earned his own livelihood. Remaining with that concern, and giving strict
attention to business, he arose to the post of foreman, which he held for
nine years, resigning in 1887 to assume charge of the large real estate interests
of W. W. Hitchcock. In 1889 he associated himself with the Woodcliffe Land Improvement Company as managing agent of its vast property in North Hudson County. Five years later, in 1893, he formed a copartnership with James G. Wallace, and under the firm name of Wallace & Limouze has since carried on an extensive general real estate brokerage and insurance business, their office being at 165 Bergen line Avenue in the Town of Union. During the past three years Mr. Limouze has had entire charge, as resident agent, of the local interests of the Cossitt Land Improvement Company, which has done so much toward the development of the northern section of the Towns of Union and Weehawken. Mr. Limouze is an able and energetic business man, and in his knowledge of real estate and insurance matters has few equals. His perseverance, sound judgment, and unswerving integrity, together with his faithfulness to duty, have gained for him a high reputation. He resides in a handsome home on the corner of Hudson Avenue and Fourth Street in the Town of Union. In politics Mr. Limouze is a Democrat. In 1896 he was appointed a member of the Board of Education to fill the unexpired term of a member who had died, and rendered valuable service to both the board and the town. I3e has been President of the Hamilton Building and Loan Association of the Town of Union since its organization in 1898; is Past Chancellor Commander of Columbian Lodge, Knights of Pythias; a member of Garfield Council, No. 56, Jr. O. U. A. M.; a member of Mystic Tie Lodge, No. 123, F. and A. M.; a Director of the North Hudson Hospital Association; and a member of the First Ward Democratic Club of Union Hill, a Commissioner of Deeds, and a Notary Public. He is also well known as an auctioneer, a business he has followed with marked success. He was married in 1886 to Miss Catherine Schaeffer, daughter of George W. Schaeffer, assistant chief engineer of the Hackensack Water Company. They have one son, Percy.
