He was born on 20 Dec 1850, the son of Nathan Holt and Betsey (Batchelder) Leavitt. He lived nearly his entire life in Newmarket, until he left for Pasadena in the fall of 1915. He worked in the grocery business, first with Edward Richardson in 1872, and with Andrew J Watterson in 1879.

​He was married on 25 Feb 1875 to Josephine Hayes, and they had two daughters:

i. Alice M Leavitt, b. Feb 1876 [1900 census]
ii. Bessie Ida Leavitt, b. 19 Aug 1878 in Newmarket [town vr]; marr Albert J Meiler in 1911, Los Angeles County, CA

George and his wife are buried in Mountain View Cemetery, in Altadena, Los Angeles, California. [link to his: Find a Grave entry]

George K Leavitt is from the "Samuel" line, found in the genealogy Descendants of Samuel Leavitt on pg 126, as well as the 1990 Update, pg 58-59. The latter source contains an image from a newspaper article, dated 1952, which printed photos of both George and Josie, as well as their home on South Main St. A current view of the road on Google Street View shows a house matching that of the 1952 picture, and corresponds with its location on the 1892 town map.
