George Angleman was born in 1867 in Plainfield, New Jersey, and spent his early life there. No records exist in the archives of his early schooling. He is recorded as having preached a series of sermons in Rosedale (Kansas City) in 1889. His first charge in the Kansas Conference was in Rosedale (1890); he was later transferred to Kansas City: London Heights (1891-1892), and Winchester (1893-1895). He was elected to Elder’s orders in 1894. His appointments in the Kansas Conference were met with great satisfaction among his congregations, as he is recorded as being “very popular, and although a young man has done noble work in this community,” according to a note in the Kansas City Gazette on March 12, 1890. He is also referred to as “one of the most promising young men in the conference” in the Kansas City Republic, September 11, 1890. In Winchester, he oversaw the construction of a new church building in 1893. While serving in Kansas City, Rev. Angleman returned briefly to Plainfield to marry Ella M. Corey (November 26, 1866-November 3, 1954), who then joined him in Kansas. He took the supernumerary relation (1896-1898) before moving with his wife to the Newark Conference (1899). There, he served charges at Junction (1899), Piermont (1900-1904), Stony Point (1905), Sussex (1906-1908), Browne Memorial (Jersey City) (1913), Park Church (Weehawken), and Piermont and Palisades. In 1929 he was again appointed to Piermont and served there until his retirement in 1933. Rev. Angleman died at the age of 69 on Sept. 7, 1937, at his home in Piermont, New York, where he had lived for 15 years. He was buried in the John Cory family plot in Hillside Cemetery, Scotch Plains, New Jersey. He was survived by his wife Ella and her sister Margaret; two children, Mrs. Grace W. Cutler (East Orange, N.J.) and Mrs. Fred Weaver (New York City); and two grandsons, Robert and Donald Cutler. Rev. Angleman’s memoir appears in the 1938 Newark Conference Journal (page 230). The memoir for his wife, Ella M. Cory Angleman, was published in the 1955 Newark Conference Journal (page 150).
