San Francisco County
ISSAC M. KALLOCH
ISSAC M. KALLOCH, a member of the law
firm of Wheaton, Kalloch & Kierce,
San Francisco, was born at Rockland, Maine, in 1851. He arrived in
California in 1876, removed to Washington Territory in 1883, where he was
admitted to the Supreme Court in 1884; subsequently returned to California, and
in November, 1888, was admitted to the Supreme Court of this State. The
same month he was elected District Attorney of Tuolumne county. Two
years later the firm of which he is now a member, was organized in San
Francisco, and now ranks with the leading firms of the city for integrity and
ability, and enjoys a lucrative practice.
Mr. Kalloch is a son of I. S. Kalloch, who in his lifetime was widely known as a
brilliant pulpit and platform orator. Mr. Kalloch,
Sr., was also a native of Maine, having been born in Rockland in 1831. He
was a remarkably eloquent and magnetic speaker, and attracted immense
congregations. In 1876 he became the pastor of a San Francisco Church, and
within a few years he built the Metropolitan Temple, opposite the United States
Mint, on Fifth street. In the fall of 1879 Mr. Kalloch was elected Mayor of San Francisco, at the
conclusion of an exciting campaign. In 1883 he removed to Washington
Territory, where he died, in December, 1887
