Photo taken: J.H. Peters Studio, San Francisco CA, circa 1890
Purchased: Dec 2017 at the Palm Beach County Fairgrounds Antique Show.
What a handsome young man. There is no date on this photo. The collar of this fashionable man's shirt is a type worn as early as 1890, and as late as 1920, but the style of the cabinet card itself points to around 1890, and probably no later than 1895.
The subject appears to be in his mid-twenties. The studio which produced this photo was in operation at this location (Baldwin Hotel Block on Market Street) from 1885 to at least 1890.
This is Nathan Crowell Paddock (6 Nov 1865 - 8 Jun 1940), son of Nathan Crowell Paddock Sr. and Mary E White. He lived in San Francisco with his wife June Norwood (29 May 1875 - 20 Jul 1940), daughter of Tallmadge Floyd Norwood and Emmaline Campbell. Their children were Natalie Tallmadge Paddock (1910-2000) and June Floyd Paddock (1913-2006).
Nathan grew up in a large townhouse on South Park Street in San Francisco. The 1870 Census reports Nathan Sr.'s occupation is "Banker", and in 1880 describes himself as a "Capitalist." There are two servants in the household in both decades.
In 1890, Nathan Sr. died. This obituary (at right) was located in the Oakland Tribune, 11 Mar, 1890.
Nathan Jr. and June Norwood were married 5 October 1909. This notice of the marriage was found in The San Francisco Call newspaper, 5 Oct 1909.
