Boswell, H. James. American Blue Book Western Washington, Seattle, Lowman and Hanford Co., 1922. p. 137. TAMMANY, PATRICK M.: A YOUNG LAWYER in Seattle, who is rapidly building a reputation for himself, is Patrick M. Tammany. Mr. Tammany is a native of North Dakota and was born in 1887. He received his early educational training in public schools, after which he entered the University of Washington. From this institution he took the degree of A. B. in 1911, and also the degree of LL. B. Mr. Tammany has resided in Seattle since 1905. He at one time was a member of the law firm of Carmody & Tammany, which was dissolved in 1912, since which time he has practiced alone. For about four or four and a half years he was in the office of the Seattle Corporation Counsel, serving under both Caldwell and Meier. Mr. Tammany is like many other successful attorneys in that he prefers keeping clients out of court whenever possible to do so. However, once it becomes necessary to enter trial he exerts every once of energy to gain the desired verdict, neither asking or giving quarter. He is a most capable and convincing speaker, a man of much energy, patience and perseverance, and a delivery, while in oration, that is most pleasing. His deductions are sound, his points well taken, while in every move he makes in conduct of trial he exercises the best of logic. In 1915 Mr. Tammany married Miss Florence Mariette Smith, and the couple have one child, a girl. Mr. Tammany is a member of the College club, Delta Tau Delta, a college fraternity, Phi Delta Phi, a legal fraternity, Knights of Columbus, Elks, and Kiwanis club, of which he has been secretary since 1918.
