Henry L. Yesler (1810-1892) established Puget Sound's first steam-powered sawmill in the young village of Seattle in 1852. He maintained good relations with local Native Americans and sired at least one child by a Indian woman before his wife, Sarah, arrived from Ohio in 1858. Yesler served as King County's first auditor in 1853 and was elected mayor of Seattle in 1874 and 1885. He also founded Seattle's first water system, established its first community hall and theater, and ultimately made his fortune in real estate. He and his wife built an opulent mansion at present-day 1st Avenue and James Street in 1883 and were leaders in numerous civic and social causes, including public libraries and woman suffrage. Bailey Gatzert (1829-1893) In 1875, Bailey Gatzert became the first Jewish mayor of Seattle. Gatzert was partner and general manager of Schwabacher and Co, one of Seattle's earliest hardware and general mercantile stores, later to become the start of wholesale trade in Seattle. He was involved in many business and civic ventures critical to the establishment of early Seattle commerce and infrastructure. He was married to Babette Schwabacher Gatzert. Moses R. Maddocks came to Washington in 1858 and to Seattle in 1860. He was involved in many business ventures in the Seattle area, including the building of the Occidental Hotel in Seattle in 1863, in partnership with Amos Brown and John Condon. Maddocks married Susie Williams of New York in 1865.
