From Schenectady County History:

"George Alonzo, son of Edward and Asenath (Wilcox) Woolverton, was born in Charleston, Montgomery county, New York, September 12, 1813, died at Albany, New York, May 5, 1896, where he was buried with his wife in the Albany Rural Cemetery. His childhood and youth were spent in Montgomery county and he there received his education in the district schools of Charleston, Oppenheim and Canajoharie. He came to Albany in 1832 with his father, for whom he worked at farming until about the time he became of age. Shortly after he moved to Albany, where he resided until his death, he became clerk in a store in that city where boots and shoes were sold. Becoming in this manner familiar with that business he, in 1837, started a wholesale boot and shoe business for himself, and continued in it until his retirement from business in 1882. Not content with being merely a buyer and seller, he soon began manufacturing his own goods. By his activity, industry, frugality and keen business insight, he built up a large business, and was in this, as in all his other business ventures, very successful. During the years 1860 to 1870, he also conducted a wholesale hat business, and for a time was largely interested in a line of barges sailing between Albany and New York City. While in all these enterprises he had at times partners, chiefly relatives, he was the leading man in them. In 1879 circumstances gave him control of one of the gas companies of Albany, and in 1880 he became the president and chief administrative officer of the People's Gas Company of Albany. In 1864 he, with several other prominent men, organized the Merchants' National Bank of Albany, and was on its first board of directors, continuing in that capacity until 1895, when he retired following thirty years of service. He was a pronouncedly religious man, and particularly active in the support of the Pearl Street (now Emmanuel) Baptist Church of Albany, in which he and his wife, his father and most of his sisters were baptized in 1840. In the latter years of his life he was considered the leading man in that church. He generously supported the institutions of his denomination, particularly those connected with its ministry, it being said that at one time he was supporting, in whole or in part eight students for the ministry. He was one of the incorporators of the Hudson River Baptist Association North. From 1884 until his death in 1896 he was vice-president of the New York Baptist Union for ministerial education, and from 1885 to 1896 was trustee of Colgate University, and from before 1870 to 1896 a trustee of Emmanuel Baptist Church.

George Alonzo Woolverton married, at Glen, New York, July 11, 1838, Caroline Shuler (see Shuler II). She was born at Florida, Montgomery county, New York, July 20, 1814, died at Albany, New York, July 31, 1894, daughter of John and Hannah (Buck) Shuler. A sketch of his life would be very incomplete without a reference to that of his wife, who was in truth a helpmeet. Of her, her husband truly said, "She was the most perfect model of a Christian I ever met. With her every human being on earth was a brother or sister, and it was her sweetest joy to minister to the wants of all." She was a leader in many of the charitable and religious institutions of Albany, and encouraged her husband in his many gifts, while her personal benefactions were without number. She was one of the three founders in Albany of the Women's Baptist Missionary Society, and president of the Emmanuel Baptist Church branch of it until her death. For very many years she was a manager of the Albany Guardian Society, and of the Boys' Lodging House of Albany."
