George Eikerenkotter was the son of August Eikerenkotter, a member <br />of a well known pioneer family of San Mateo County. He was born in the Town of Searsville around 1860. One of the leading <br />families of the village was that of Eikerenkotter, who conducted the business of the hotel, store and post office. The town <br />stood near where Searsville Lake is now and part of the townsite was covered when the lake was formed. George grew to <br />manhood in the town and after the death of his father, he conducted the business of the local hotel and store until the filling in <br />of the Searsville Lake. By the construction of Searsville Lake to supply water for Stanford University, the existence of this <br />pioneer settlement ended. After the abandonment of Searsville, George and his family moved to South San Francisco, but later <br />moved to Redwood City where he resided until his death in 1930. <br />SEE CONTINUATION SHEET20.
