GEORGE E. TWEEDT.

Among the younger business men of Kennewick who have been quite successful is
George E. Tweedt, who is engaged in the insurance business. He was born in
Genessee, Idaho, in 1887 and is a son of H. C. and S. E. (Nelson) Tweedt, who in
1877 settled in Idaho, whence in 1904 they removed to Kennewick, where the
father followed agricultural pursuits until he removed to Honolulu in 1912,
where he is now residing.

George E. Tweedt attended the common schools in the pursuit of his primary
education, subsequently rounding out his learning by attending a business
college at Spokane. He then became connected with banking and was assistant
cashier in the Bank of Kennewick until 1914, when he entered the insurance and
real estate business under the firm name of Trenbath & Tweedt, which has ever
since had a continuous and prosperous existence. In his transactions he has
strictly adhered to the highest principles and it is therefore but natural that
a large clientage has been gained by the firm and their business is now an
extensive one.

On June 11, 1913, Mr. Tweedt was united in marriage to Miss May E. Holloway, of
Kennewick, and they have a daughter, Eleanor. The young couple are popular in
the social circles of their city, where they have many friends. They are members
of the Congregational church and politically Mr. Tweedt is a republican,
faithfully supporting the principles of the party. In 1918 he was elected mayor
of Kennewick and is now acceptably filling that office. His fraternal
associations are with the Knights of Pythias, in which organization he has many
friends.
