George M. Harmon (2 December 1837 – 21 December 1910) was the twenty second Adjutant General of the State of Connecticut born in Brookfield, Massachusetts. After the war he resumed the manufacture of corsets under the firm name of Foy&Harmon. The firm grew to be one of the largest in putting out corset material having branches in New York and Boston. He afterwards had a commission business in Boston, which was one of the largest in the world in marketing materials for the making of corsets. In 1873 and 1874 Harmon was police commissioner in the city of New Haven. In 1880 he was chairman of the republic state committee. Harmon was a member of the Military Order of the Loyal Legion of the United States for New York and had membership in a number of organizations in that state.[1][2]
