George D. Bardwell 
     George Dwight Bardwell, a leading attorney of the southwestern section of
the state, was born on July 29, 1866, in Franklin county, Massachusetts, and is
the son of George W. and Anna Bardwell.  The father was a farmer and politician,
being a member of the Massachusetts house of representatives at the time of his
death.  Mr. Bardwell has been engaged in mining and practicing law for eighteen
years in Colorado, at Aspen, Leadville, Gunnison, Lake City, and throughout the
San Juan country. He was admitted to the bar in May, 1893, and has ever since
had law offices in Gunnison and Hinsdale counties.  He has been a director and
the secretary of the Dupre Mining Company which owns the Isolde mine from its
organization in 1898.  He was city attorney of Lake City and county attorney of
Hinsdale county from 1894 to 1905.  In politics he was for years a Democrat but
is now a Republican, and has been during the last six years.  Fraternally he
belongs to the Woodmen of the World, the United Workmen and the order of Elks. 
On July 6, 1896, at Eureka, Colorado, he was married to Miss Hannah Cunningham,
and has three children, Anna B., Mary Esther and T.G.  This brief outline of the
life of a prominent public man and lawyer gives no account of the success with
which he has conducted every line of activity with which he has been connected,
the fortitude with which he has met and overcome every difficulty that has
confronted him, or the general esteem in which he is held by all classes of the
people everywhere he has been, and but hints his high standing at the bar and in
the business world, all of which would be told at greater length did not his
modesty forbid.
