Description |
English: Seattle pioneer Moses R. Maddocks (1833-1919) was born in Maine and worked in logging camps across the country before moving to Port Gamble in 1858. He was elected to the Territorial Legislature in 1863, after which he came to Seattle, was a partner in building the Occidental Hotel, then partnered with Gordon Kellogg in one of Seattle's first drug stores, located at Madison and Front Streets. Moses was a vice president and one of the organizers of the Mutual Building & Loan Association, was a trustee of the Pioneer Association, and served several years as county commissioner. He was elected the mayor of Seattle in 1873 to serve the final two months of former Mayor Corliss P. Stone's term, who had embezzled $15,000 from the city and fled to San Francisco. For many years Maddocks and his wife Susan Williamson Maddocks (1835-1917) lived above the drug store but after the Great Seattle Fire of 1889 they either moved to or rebuilt a home at 410 Cherry Street. They also owned a summer home, The Maples, near Kent, where they did a great deal of entertaining, including their famous New Year's receptions. This portrait of Moses R. Maddocks was taken about 1875 in Seattle.
