| Info | George McLachlan was born in Glasgow, Scotland, on April 24, 1876. His family moved to the United States in 1882. McLachlan lived in Kansas City, Missouri, until 1889, when he moved to Denver. McLachlan followed his father’s profession and was apprenticed as a stonecutter at the age of 12. When he was 14, McLachlan entered the stonecutters union and remained a loyal, vocal supporter of unions for the rest of his life. He later served as the business agent of the Denver Building Trades Council and president of the Denver Trades and Labor Assembly.
In 1908, he was appointed to fill a vacancy as alderman of Denver’s Eleventh Ward, and later was elected to that position. While serving as alderman, he was elected to the Colorado House of Representatives in 1910. He served as Speaker for the 1911-1912 biennium, and retained his position as alderman. As an alderman, McLachlan was responsible for the construction of the playground and bath house in Denver’s Lincoln Park.
After completing his term as alderman, McLachlan was appointed deputy sheriff for the West Side Court. He later became clerk of the West Side Court and retained that position until 1927. He then became the bailiff and assistant librarian in the Colorado Supreme Court. He died November 16, 1941 in Denver.
