John Raleigh Mott (May 25, 1865 – January 31, 1955) was a long-serving leader of the YMCA.
In 1910, Mott, an American Methodist layperson, presided at the Edinburgh Missionary Conference, which launched both the modern missions movement and the modern ecumenical movement.
Mott married Leila Ada White in 1891 and had two sons and two daughters.
Mott in their individual capacities entered into a written agreement, which appears to have been prepared by the prosecuting attorney of Island county, at the suggestion and under the supervision' of the county welfare department.
Mott found it difficult, if not impossible, to earn enough income, while on the premises, to support his family and the plaintiff, despite the fact that the plaintiff was then contributing twenty dollars a month out of his pension.
Mott, with respect to his obligation under his contract to provide a suitable home and the necessary care and support for the plaintiff, is that he failed to "watch out for the old gentleman" after the latter left the Earlywine home and went to Seattle about the first of June, 1943.
