Biographical History
The Teasdale family were Mormon pioneers and ecclesiastical leaders in Utah and the larger West. The family was established by George Teasdale (1831-1907), following his conversion to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He married Emily Emma Brown (1831-1874) in 1853, and they had three children. Teasdale served as a leader in the Church, becoming an apostle and member of the the Council of the Twelve in 1882 and serving as president of the European and Mexican missions. He entered into polygamy, marrying at least five other wives including Lilles Hook (1840-1900, one child), Evelina Lovina Babbitt (1858-1947, seven children), Matilda Ellen Picton (1858-1893, two children), Mary Lauretta Picton (1863-1895, two children), and Eunice A.
