I don't see him on an earlier census and I don't see his marriage here:

Also haven't found him on earlier census.

I'm assuming you have him in 1920 (Reney) and his sons (Isaac, James and Elmer) and their families? (Sometimes I find clues in later census, which is why I was looking. No clues, but thought I would mention it in case you hadn't seen them.)

Still not regarding George's early life, but in case this helps, it looks like this is one son:

World War I Draft Registration Cards, 1917-1918
Name: James Loren Raney
City: Not Stated
County: Clay
State: Arkansas
Birthplace: Illinois
Birth Date: 26 Jul 1888
Race: Caucasian (White)
Roll: 1522834
DraftBoard: 0
Born Elizabethtown, Illinois which is a 9 minute drive from Rosiclare.

Tried searching for a Nancy Loren (hoping his middle name was her surname). No luck.

Another son:
World War I Draft Registration Cards, 1917-1918
Name: Isaac Larkin Rainey
City: Not Stated
County: Hardin
State: Illinois
Birth Date: 28 Apr 1877
Race: White
Roll: 1613408
DraftBoard: 0

No Nancy Larkin's either.
