GEORGE H. PARTRIDGE
George H. Partridge occupies a prominent position in commercial circles of
Minneapolis and is vice president of the wholesale dry goods establishment
conducted under the name of Wyman, Partridge & Co. He was born at Medford,
Minnesota, August 21, 1856, a son of George Henry and Mary E. (Francis)
Partridge. The parents of Mr. Partridge of this review removed from Wisconsin to
Minnesota in 1855 and settled on a farm in the vicinity of Medford. Soon after
the outbreak of the Civil war his father enlisted and lost his life in defense
of the Union. A widow, two sons and a daughter survived him, George H. Partridge
being the eldest of the children.
George H. Partridge acquired his early education in the district schools and
afterward entered the Winona State Teachers College of Winona, Minnesota, from
which he was graduated with the class of 1873. In 1874 he entered the University
of Minnesota, from which institution he graduated in 1879. For a time he engaged
in teaching, civil engineering and railroad building and then became identified
with the credit and financial department of the concern in which he is now the
second executive officer. He is a director of the Northwestern National Bank and
The Twin City Rapid Transit Company.
On the 25th of January, 1882, in Minneapolis, Mr. Partridge was united in
marriage to Miss Sarah Adalaide Wyman, daughter of Oliver C. and Charlotte E.
(Mullin) Wyman. Mr. and Mrs. Partridge are the parents of four children: Helen
A., who is the wife of Frank T. Dodge of New York city;. Marion E., the wife of
Edward S. Mills of New York city; Charlotte P., who gave her hand in marriage to
John G. Ordway of St. Paul; and Georgiana H., who is the wife of Curtis G. Noble
of Minneapolis.
Politically Mr. Partridge may be said to be a democrat of the Cleveland-Wilson
school. He does not blindly follow party leadership but supports men and
measures that he deems most effective in promoting the general welfare. His name
is on the membership rolls of the University Clubs of New York and Chicago and
he also belongs to the Minneapolis and several other clubs of this city and
vicinity, and is a member of the Massachusetts Society of Mayflower Descendants.
He is a regent of the University of Minnesota.
