HARRY B. TEDROW.

	Harry B. Tedrow, United States district attorney for the district 
of Colorado, was born at Woodburn, Clarke county, Iowa, May 6, 1875. 
His father, Joseph Leech Tedrow (1835-1912), a merchant, was born in 
Pennsylvania, lived until young manhood in Athens county, Ohio; in 1855 
took up his residence in Iowa, and in 1887 removed to Hastings. 
Nebraska, where his last years were spent. He married Hester Ann 
Proudfoot, a native of Barbour county. West Virginia, whose people were 
pioneers of Clarke and Warren counties, Iowa. She still survives.

	Harry B. Tedrow is one of a family of eight children, five of 
whom are living. His early schooling was received in the public schools 
of Woodburn, Iowa, and Hastings, Nebraska. He was graduated from the 
Hastings high school as a member of the class of 1892. He has been a 
resident oE Colorado since 1S96. For two years after coming to Colorado 
he was connected with the Rocky Mountain News, both in the business 
office and reportorial work. Later he entered the law school of the 
Denver University. Upon the declaration of the Spanish-American war in 
April, 1898, he responded to the call for troops, enlisting at Denver 
in the organization that became Troop B of the Second United States 
Volunteer Cavalry, popularly known as Torrey's Rough Riders. His 
regiment was assigned to the Seventh Army Corps under Major General 
Fitzhugh Lee. When the war was over he returned to Denver and on 
October 12, 1899, was admitted to the bar. In 1901 he practiced at 
Cripple Creek. From 1903 to 1906 he was associated with. Richard H. 
Whiteley at Boulder. In the latter year he formed a business relation 
with Charles W. Franklin, a well known Denver attorney, under the firm 
name of Franklin & Tedrow, remaining in that connection in active 
practice in Denver until 1912. During a part of this time he was 
secretary of the Denver Bar Association. In 1912 he went to Boulder, 
where he has been associated with Arthur W. Fitzgerald, as Tedrow & 
Fitzgerald, taking over the Whiteley practice in that city. He was 
county attorney of Boulder county in 1913-1914 and for nearly six years 
(1909-1915) a member of the board of pardons of Colorado. In 1914 
President Wilson commissioned him United States attorney for the 
district of Colorado and renewed the commission in 1918. Mr. Tedrow 
became United States district attorney August 1, 1914, the day the 
great European war began, and his duties in the important office have 
taken an unusual course. Especially since April 6, 1917, when the 
United States entered the conflict, he has had the responsibility of a 
tremendous volume of perplexing government business of an 
administrative as well as legal nature tor which no precedents existed.

	On April 22, 1903, Mr. Tedrow married Camilla Roberts, a Denver 
born young woman, daughter of Sidney E. and Eudora A. (Loomis) Roberts. 
Mr. and Mrs. Tedrow are the parents of two daughters: Irene, born 
August 3, 1907, and Imogene, born April 28, 1910.
