George Pascoe, President of the Board of Aldermen of Butte 
City has been a resident of Montana since 1872.Mr. Pascoe 
was born in England, July 8, 1845, and is a descendant of 
one of the old English families. He was educated in his 
native land and there spent five years of his early life 
in acquiring proficiency in the business of landscape 
gardening, this business having attained great perfection 
in that country. In April 1872 he emigratedto America 
and for some time was engaged in landscape gardening on 
Long Island. Believing that the West afforded better 
facilities for accumulating property, he directed his 
course toward Montana and that same year, 1872, took 
up his abode in Deer Lodge. At first he worked at 
whatever employment he could secure and for a number 
of years had a position in the Insane Asylum, under 
Dr. A.H. Mitchell. After that he went to Walla Walla 
and purchased sheep and for some time continued in 
the sheep industry with fair success. In 1882 he came 
to Butte City and entered the employ of the Silver 
Bow Brewing Company. For some years past he has had 
the management of the depot at Butte City, in which
capacity he has shown himself to be a capable and 
successful businessman.During his residence in 
Butte City, Mr. Pascoe has become deeply interested 
in its affairs and has proven himself a public 
spirited and enterprising man. He has invested in 
quartz mining and also largely in real estate, 
owning a number of residences in the city. In 
politics he has been a life-long Republican. In 
1887 he was elected by his partyto the office of 
Public Administrator and in 1889 was elected one 
of the Alderman of Butte City. In this latter 
capacity he has served two full terms and is now 
serving on the third. For the past two years he 
has been President of the Board and a part of that 
time acting as Mayor of Butte. During his long 
service in the Council he has made himself 
thoroughly conversant with the affairs and needs 
of the city and is one of its most useful officers.
In fraternal circles, also is Mr. Pascoe prominent 
and active. He is past Grand Master of the I.O.O.F. 
of the State of Montana and is Grand Representative
