Ephraim Willard Burr : ウィキペディア英語版 | Ephraim Willard Burr
Ephraim Willard Burr (1809–1894) was a businessman who served as the ninth mayor of San Francisco, California from 1856 to 1859. Burr was born on March 7, 1809 in Warren, Rhode Island. As a young man, he worked for a whaling company which sent him west. After losing his crew while docked in San Francisco—many sailors were lured away by the prospect of finding gold during the Gold Rush—Burr stayed put and opened a grocery store. His family moved to California to be with him. The venture proved so successful that he opened California's first savings union, the San Francisco Accumulating Fund Association. ==Politics== He entered politics in 1855 when he petitioned the San Francisco Common Council to curb open-stream pollution caused by local slaugherhouses. Burr stated that the pollution caused cholera to enter the streams, causing three deaths—including that of his son.
