GEORGE ULRICH
HARTFORD: Banker
Mr. Ulrich came to this country at an early age from Germany, where he was born August 13, 1851. He has lived the greater part of his life in Hartford, where he was educated in the public schools. For upwards of 20 years he has been engaged in the banking business, most of the time with the State Savings Bank of Hartford. In politics Mr. Ulrich is a democrat, but not of the ultra kind. He is a member of the town committee, also an alderman from the fourth ward, and chairman of the committee on ways and means. That he is popular with those who know him is evident from the fact that he was elected in the last city election from a strongly republican ward by a handsome majority, being the first democrat ever elected from that ward. As a member of the city government he is conservative, always found to favor just measures of economy and reform, and insists upon a strict and rigid enforcement of the laws, and proper attention to business by all city officials. He has a strong antipathy to what is known as "ring rule." In private life he rides various hobbies: Is a capable art critic; writes with fluency and keenness; is skilled in the graphic and plastic arts, and has held the title of state chess champion. He is an active member of the South Congregational church (Dr. Parker’s), is a charter member of the Wangunk Tribe of Red Men, and is interested in numerous political and social organizations.
