Summary

Description

Photo and signature of John Leary. Transparent overlay (not shown) says:

Born at St. Johns, New Brunswick, in 1836, and during his earlier years he was extensively engaged in the manufacture of lumber and also a dealer in general merchandise as St. Johns. He came to the coast in 1869 and settled in Seattle. In 1871 he was admitted to the bar and was engaged in active practice until 1883, when he retired. In 1884 he was mayor of the city. In 1872 he took a leading part in the explorations of the coal measures in King County, and in opening and developing some of its principal mines. During the remainder of his life he was actively connected with many of the most important enterprises having for their object the development of Seattle and the State.
Date 1909; the photo predates 1891 because a cropped version can be found in Frederic James Grant, History of Seattle, Washington with Illustrations and Biographical Sketches of Some of Its Prominent Men and Pioneers, American Publishing and Engraving Co., 1891, p. 256.

Source Plate between pages 332 and 333 of History of Washington: The Rise and Progress of an American State by Clinton A. Snowden, Century History Company, New York, 1909. I snapshotted a reference copy in a public library, then did a bit of cleanup on it with GIMP.
