	George Geaudreau, residing one mile south of Penrith, Stevens 
county, is engaged in general farming and logging.  He is the son of George 
and Elizabeth (Tebert) Geaudreau, natives of Massachusetts.  They removed to
Canada at an early day, where they died.  Twelve children were born to them,
some of them residing in Canada, others in the United Sates.  They are

	At the age of fourteen years, with but a meager education, he 
commenced life for himself, and for three years was a navigator on the St.
Lawrence river.  At the age of twenty he went to Stevens Point, Wisconsin,
and for several years was in the woods and on the rivers driving logs.  In
1887 he went to Minnesota and devoted the following years to farming, and 
about 1890 went to Rathdrum, Idaho, coming to Stevens in 1891, where he has
since resided.  He located one thousand six hundred and seventy acres, 
having thirty acres under cultivation.  He has one million five hundred
thousand feet of timber, and his principal business at the present time is 
logging.
