"George Crawford Britton (1854\u20131929) was a politician and lawyer in the states of Iowa, South Dakota, Washington, and Alaska. He represented Spink County in the Dakota Territory legislation and was a member of the Washington State Legislature and Tacoma City Council. He had a successful legal career in Iowa, South Dakota, and Washington states, and served as a judge, United States commissioner, and notary public in Alaska. Britton started his legal career in Iowa in 1881, building a successful practice until he moved to South Dakota (prior to 1889, called the Dakota Territory). He co-opened the Britton & Moriarty law firm in Northville, and became recognized in legal and public circles of the city. He took part in several Dakota Territory constitutional conventions, including the one in 1888 regarding the territory's separation into two states and outlining an organic law (a system of laws that form the foundation of a government) for South Dakota. Britton came to Tacoma in 1889. He launched his law office there, and became a highly esteemed member of the city's Bar Association. From 1890, Britton participated in Washington State politics as a member of the Republican party. In 1900, he represented Pierce County in the Washington State House of Representatives in the 7th Washington State Legislature. As a member of the state Legislature, Britton created and introduced new probate law and helped pass a new jury law. Britton was elected as Tacoma City Councilman in 1901 and in 1903. He ran for re-election in 1904, but lost and resigned from politics. Britton was appointed United States commissioner in Kayak, Alaska in 1902 and served at the position until at least 1908. He was later the commissioner and judge in Katalla until at least 1914. In Katalla, Britton also provided notary public services and investigated a case in connection with the monopolistic practices of the Alaska Syndicate."@en . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
