George H. Paul was born a Vermonter at Danville in 1826, and educated at the University of Vermont and later Harvard. His first newspaper experience was obtained in Vermont, and at completion of a year at Harvard Law School he became publisher of the only Democratic paper in Vermont, the Burlington Sentinel. Like many other Vermonters, he migrated to Wisconsin, arriving at Kenosha in 1851, and he there began publication of the Kenosha Democrat. He maintained this connection with printing and newspaper work in Wisconsin until about 1874, and was influential in state Democratic politics throughout his later life.
