For a number of subsequent years he worked in various lines, in 1883 coming to Snohomish.

In 1897 his brother bought back the business and George Bakeman went to Everett and opened an undertaking establishment in that city. Eighteen months later he disposed of the business and went to Alaska, remaining in the northland for two years. He returned to Snohomish in 1900 and for the subsequent five years operated engines in various logging camps. In April, 1905, he opened a livery business, to which he has since given his attention.
