Genealogical History Of Hudson And Bergen Counties New Jersey
GEORGE W. COLLIGNON

Originally published in 1900
Cornelius Burnham Harvey, Editor


Edited by GET NJ, COPYRIGHT 2003

GEORGE W. COLLIGNON was born March 14, 1864, in Westwood, N. J., where he still resides. He is the son of Nicholas Collignon and Catherine Demarest and a grandson of Peter and Mary C. (Perrie) Collignon and James Demarest and Jane Wortendyke. His father was First Lieutenant in the Twenty-second New Jersey Volunteers during the Civil War. On the paternal side he is of French descent and on his mother's side of Holland Dutch ancestry, her family having come to this country at an early colonial period. The Demarests and Wortendykes are both noticed at length in preceding pages of this work.

Mr. Collignon was educated in the schools of Bergen County, and at the age of fifteen began active life as foreman in a chair factory. He continued in that capacity for fifteen years and then established himself in the lumber business, starting a sawmill, which he still operates.

He has achieved success in business and is also highly respected as a public spirited, progressive, and enterprising citizen. He has served as Trustee of School District No. 1. for two terms, was Borough Councilman one term, and is a member of the Dutch Reformed Church. He married Lillie Bogert and has two daughters: Mabel and Bertha.
