George W. Soliday, born February 22, 1868 at Doylestown, Ohio, was the son of Henry A. Soliday who settled in Carrington in the winter of 1882-83. He came with his mother and sister Jessie in April 1883. They were the first children to arrive at the townsite. The story of the Soliday family is recounted elsewhere. He was educated in the local schools, Jamestown College, and Northwestern University, Evanston, Illinois. He received his law degree from that university in 1893. He opened a legal practice in Carrington and was elected and served three terms as States Attorney from 1895 to 1901. In that year he resigned his position to engage in law practice in Chicago. A few years later he moved to Seattle, WA, where he continued to practice law until his death August 23, 1950.

He was married to Mrs. Virginia Rutledge Warren the widow of Dr. W.B. Warren, one of the first physicians in Carrington.
