Born at Port Stanley (Falkland Islands). Worked during fourteen years for the Port Stephens estancia and while he was there, the first shipment of cattle to Southern Patagonia was made under consignment to Captain John Stole, in exchange for a cargo of wool coming from Sandy Point.

In the year 1886, he went to Sandy Point. His first Argentine work in Argentina was done as overseer of labourers for the "Mallman Company" which was gold-washing at the famous deposits at Cabo Vírgenes.

He filled the post for a year and, at the end of it, he decided to lend his assistance to his brother, Herbert Stanley, who had just brought over his first flock of sheep from the Falkland Islands. These animals were landed at Peckett Harbour, on Magellan Straits, and there they were kept for a year while a house was being built and stockyards prepared, necessary on the land they had decided to settle on, and which ,at present is so me of that belonging to Messrs Clark Brothers.

Later on, Mr. Herbert S. Felton decided to exchange this estancia, known as "North Hills", for "Kilik Aike North", belonging to Captain Eberhardt, and his brother was sent to put up the main dwelling. Landing the building materials was risky and difficult, for owing to the high tides which were unfamiliar to them, the sudden windstorms, the said constructive elements were more than once the toy of the waves, until at last they could be thrown on the beach, but in a spot much further away than the one previously chosen for the building site.

George O. Felton worked for his brother at "Kilik Aike" until 1891, when he left for the Falklands and where he lived for a period of five years.

Afterwards he returned to Patagonia, and was entrusted by Mr. Máximo Gilli with the formation of an estancia at Coyle Bay.
