Good guess, but no. He was American, I think.Quote:

George was from Buffalo, settled in MN. Also born too late (1860)
I remember that Hormel is now based in Minnesota (there was a controversial strike by its workers in the Eighties), but didn't know where exactly the guy who founded the company was from.
Got that from Wikipedia. :)Quote:
