The marriage record for George and Grace lists the parents of both, including mothers' maiden names.
George was involved during his life with teaching and composing music. In 1855, his occupation is listed as "tuner." In 1860, 1870, 1880, and 1900, he was a music teacher. His father's obituary2756 mentions him as superintendent of music in the Chelsea public schools. In 1910, he was a music editor. George's obituary2744 describes him as a composer of light operas and a member of the faculty of the New England Convervatory of Music. His death certificate1762 lists him as a retired music teacher. An internet search will result in many references to his work, including seveal songbooks and hymnals. Many newspaper articles regarding church services list "Veazie" and "George Veazie, Jr" as the author of hymns listed.
George and Grace had no children. She is listed in both the 1900 and 1910 census as the mother of none.
Mrs. R Grace Veazie was the informant for George A Veazie's death certificate1762. Her full name is deduced from the marriage record: R Grace Leger, and the 1900 census1763: Rebecca G Veazie.
Grace died perhaps before 1940 as she doesn't seem to appear in the 1940 census.
