Maurice Carey Blake (October 20, 1815 – September 26, 1897)[1] was the 19th Mayor of San Francisco, serving from December 5, 1881 to January 7, 1883.[2]
Blake was born on October 20, 1815 in Otisville, Maine.[3] After graduating from Bowdoin College, he came to San Francisco in 1853.[3] He became a lawyer in California and practiced law there. In 1857, he first became a county judge (which he served until 1862) and then a probate judge.[3] At the same time, in 1857, he served as a member of the California State Assembly until 1858.[3] In 1881, he became the Mayor of San Francisco and served for only two years.[4] Just one year after leaving office, he became a delegate to the Republican National Convention in 1884. Blake died of a heart attack in San Francisco on September 26, 1897. He is interred at Mount Tamalpais Cemetery in San Rafael, California.
