On 5 November 1844, Logan cofounded the Scottish Temperance League, the first non-denominational total abstinence society in Scotland.[2] FamilyWilliam Logan was the son of Andrew Logan, a weaver, and Euphemia Logan of Damhead, near Hamilton, South Lanarkshire in Scotland During his first stay in ,Rochdale England, from 1840-42, he probably met his future wife, Janet Lorimer (b 1826) In 1850, Logan married Janet Lorimer at Providence Chapel in Rochdale,[3]. By 1851, the couple was living at Manningham,[4] near Bradford, Yorkshire. Their daughter Sophie, was born on 12 June 1851. The family later moved to Glasgow, where they resided at 18 Abbotsford Place,[5]. On 1 May 1856, Sophie died at age four after suffering for several weeks from a gastric illness. Sophie's death led Logan to write Brief Notice of a Short Life as a preface to Words of Comfort for Parents Bereaved of Little Children, a widely circulated collection of essays edited by Logan.[6] A second child, William Logan, was born in Glasgow about 1855.
