Bartlie Temple Cardon was born in Logan, May 8, 1885, the son of Thomas B. and Lucy S. Cardon. After graduating from the city public schools, he attended Brigham Young College and Utah State Agricultural College. He graduated from the Illinois College of Optometry in 1911. Cardon was well-known for his involvement in early local affairs. Since 1914 he managed the Cardon Jewelry Company, an institution which for many years had been recognized as one of the leading stores of its kind in the state of Utah. He served as president of the Logan Rotary Club, chairman of the merchant's committee of the Logan Chamber of Commerce, and director of the Logan Home Building Society.
