C. George Mesley was born in Australia in 1900 and he joined the RLDS church in 1918. He became involved in scouting and moved to the United States after he accepted an invitation to work for the church. While studying at Graceland College he met his wife, Blanche Edwards, who was born in England. While George served as a high priest in the Kansas City Stake, Blanche and her husband advocated for education. George served as an apostle from 1938 to 1954, and was assigned to the Australia/New Zealand area.
