| 释义 |
He moved to Rosamond, California in 1939 and became the business manager of the Los Angeles Union Rescue Mission. A real estate investor and businessman, Hummel played a major role in the development of the water facilities in Rosamuod in the 1930s, and established the Rosamond Water Company.[2][2] He was also one of the men responsible for the building of the Wayside Chapel,[3] and was active in the running of local affairs, sitting on the board of the Rosamond Chamber of Commerce.[4] He sold his water company to Samuel L. Berg in 1951 when it had just 125 customers;[4] the Rosamond Community Services District now provides water, sewer, recreation and graffiti removal services to the town of nearly 20,000 residents, covering the second-largest community (after Ridgecrest) in east Kern County. Following the sale to Berg, Hummel semi-retired from his real estate business, but remained active in local governance and commerce, serving as Director of the Antelope Valley Progress Association/Board of Trade and then vice president of the Lancaster Camp of Gideons International up until his death.[5] His funeral was held on December 13, 1965 at the Mumaw Chapel in Lancaster with the Rev. Norman C. Nelson, of the Wayside Chapel officiating. He was buried in Joshua Memorial Park of Lancaster and was survived by his widow Della K. Hummel, and one son, Walter J. Hummel.[5] References1. ^{{cite news|title=Inspect New Bridge|url=https://www.newspapers.com/newspage/3414451/|accessdate=9 August 2014|agency=The Bakersfield Californian|date=February 17, 1955|page=25}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Hummel, George}}2. ^{{cite book|title=Decisions of the Public Utilities Commission of the State of California|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=V7crAQAAIAAJ|year=1952|page=1}} 3. ^1 2 {{cite book|last=Gurba|first=Norma|title=Legendary Locals of the Antelope Valley|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=5f6oAAAAQBAJ&pg=PA115|date=1 September 2013|publisher=Arcadia Publishing|isbn=978-1-4671-0087-8|page=115}} 4. ^1 {{cite book|title=Decisions of the Public Utilities Commission of the State of California|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=KgItAQAAIAAJ|year=1951|publisher=California Public Utilities Commission|page=1}} 5. ^1 2 {{cite web|url=http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/CAKERN/2005-12/1134568041|title=George Hummel, Pioneer of Rosamond, dies|publisher=Mojave Desert News, accessed via East Kern Genealogical Society via RootsWeb|date=16 December 1965|accessdate=6 August 2014}} 6 : 1887 births|1978 deaths|American business executives|Businesspeople from California|American real estate businesspeople|People from Kern County, California |
