White make many appreciative and affectionate references to George Bovier during the time he was in White's employ. Later, for reasons of health, George Bovier transferred to outside work for the Ithaca - Auburn Short Line. He was electrocuted while attempting to remove a fallen wire after a storm. Professor Burr of Cornell called him "one of the best men I ever knew." No finer tributes could be paid to any man.

Bovier treasures a letter written by her grandmother, Martha Goodspeed Bovier, which says in part: "George was born in a lumbering camp, lots going on, hardly ever saw a woman, but I was young and full of ambition........ when he was 15 months old I went home to my father's in Southport, Chemung County. We stayed all summer, then went back again for another winter, then left for good." In 1900, the family resided in Ithaca, New York and his occupation was car inspector for the RR.
