Earlene Hope is George Friday’s Great Granddaughter and she shared this family photo with the Delran Historical Society. George Friday served two terms as Delran Township Mayor. His first term was 1901-1903 and the second term was 1904-1906. He was born in Riverside to George and Anna Freitag in 1853. His name was John George Freitag but he went by George Friday. George Friday married Emma Hartman in 1876 and they had 8 children. Earlene’s Grandmother Anna Friday was George Friday’s daughter. Anna married Charles Hullings.
This photo was taken in the late 1920′ or early 1930’s. Seated is George Friday and his wife Emma.
