Excerpt from Past and Present of Alameda County, California, Vol. 2 Among the prominent and representative men of Alameda county none stands higher nor possesses a wider circle of friends than Frank K. Mott, the mayor of Oakland. A self-made man who, by his natural leadership, initiative and unswerving principles of honor, has risen from humble station through the several positions of mes senger boy, clerk, merchant, real-estate dealer, member of city coun cil and several times mayor of Oakland. In every capacity he has measured up to the highest standards of efficiency and more than satisfied the expectations of his friends and party. Frank K. Mott was born in San Francisco, January 21, 1866. His parents, Peter D. And Fannie K. Mott were from New York state and settled in San Francisco at an early day. Leaving school at the age of twelve years and working as a messenger boy for the Western Union and American District Telegraph Company, his education was of necessity very limited. However in a year's time he had advanced to the position of clerk and collector for the company, and he remained there for four years, at the end of which time he entered the employ of George S. Brown, a hardware merchant of Oakland. When he was twenty-two years of age Mr. Mott entered into partnership with A. E. Howard and together they succeeded to a part of the business. This firm continued for eleven years when Mott bought his partner out and became sole proprietor. In Janu ary, 1907, he sold his mercantile business and founded the well known firm of Frank K. Mott Company, real-estate brokers, whose extensive dealings and manifold improvements have helped so materially toward a greater Oakland.
