George D. Lancaster (1830-1903) was born in New Hampshire and died in Georgetown, Kentucky. He worked as a supplier of dry goods and the proprietor of the Lancaster Hotel. Lancaster married Malinda J. Stone, a Christian Science practitioner and student of Mary Baker Eddy's, in 1864. Although his wife was heavily involved in the Christian Science movement, there is no record of Lancaster studying with Mary Baker Eddy or joining The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Massachusetts.
