George Morton Judd, the elder son of Albert D. Judd, was born in New Britain, September 27, 1859. He acquired a grammar and high school education in New Haven and pursued a commercial course in Newark, New Jersey. He started in the business world as an office employe of the Judd Manufacturing Company in March, 1879, and in 1881 was transferred to the New York store, where he spent three months. Upon his return home for a vacation he accepted a position in the pattern room, with which department he has since been connected, and he is also one of the stockholders of the company. Throughout his entire business career he has been connected with this enterprise and has made steady progress by reason of his close application, his ready adaptability and his commendable ambition. One the 25th of June, 1889, in Wallingford, Mr. Judd was united in marriage to Miss Cornelia Julia Martin, a daughter of Henry Martin, of Wallingford, and they have become parents of three children: Alice Lucile, Katherine Linsley and Philip Sedgwick. In politics Mr. Judd is a stanch republican,
giving unswerving allegiance to the party, and he is a charter member of
Meriden lodge of the Order of United American Mechanics. He belongs to
the First Congregational church of Wallingford and was the first secretary
of its Benevolent Society, in which position he served for five years.
He is greatly interested in all branches of the church work and does everything
in his power to promote the growth and extend the influence of the congregation.
In a word, his aid is given on the side of right, progress, reform and
truth, and Wallingford numbers him among her valued citizens.
