GEORGE W. TEASDALE.

    George W. Teasdale, of Logan, manager for the Thatcher Music Company, was
born in Liverpool, England, March 12, 1888, a son of George and Henrietta
(Picton) Teasdale. The former was a native of England and the latter a native of
Nephi, Utah. In 1865 the father came to the United States and made his way to
Utah, for a long period figuring prominently in connection with events which
have shaped the history of the state.

    George W. Teasdale, after attending the public schools of Nephi, Utah,
continued his education in the Latter-day Saints University of Salt Lake City
from 1905 until 1908 inclusive, pursuing a business course. He was afterward^
connected with the Sargent Real Estate Company at Venice, California, and then
went to Portland, Oregon, where he remained for two years and during that period
was active in musical circles there as a trombone player. He next became
secretary to the state chemist and afterward entered the employ of the
Carstensen & Anderson Music Company of Salt Lake City. He also played at the
American theater and in the Pantages orchestra. In 1918 he removed to Logan to
accept the position of manager with the Thatcher Music Company, having the
largest music house in this city. He is now capably serving in this important
position and fully meets the responsibilities that devolve upon hm in this
connection. Throughout his life he has studied music because of his love of the
art and by reason of his well developed powers and talents in this connection he
is proving most capable as manager of a music sales house.

    In 1909 Mr. Teasdale was married to Miss Letitia Thomas, a daughter of
Preston Thomas, of Franklin, Idaho. Their children are two in number: George
Preston, who Is two and a half years old; and David Copperfield. Mr. Teasdale is
a member of the Commercial Boosters Club. He belongs also to the American
Federation of Musicians and his religious faith is Indicated by his membership
in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. In the fall of 1909 he went
on a mission to Scotland, where he labored for the church for two years. He has
always been active in church work and his efforts in this direction have been
far-reaching and resultant.
