Celina Martin Stoddard was an American politician from Arizona. He served a single term in the Arizona State Senate during the 5th Arizona State Legislature, holding one of the two seats from Maricopa County.[1]
Stoddard was born on August 13, 1886 in Binghamton, New York, the son of Isaac and Mary Stoddard. Isaac served as the Secretary to the Territory of Arizona from 1901, when he was appointed by President McKinley, until 1904.[2][3][4] After his term as secretary was over, he founded the Stoddard Incorporating Company in 1904.[5]
His father, who had been splitting his time between Arizona and New York during the late 1880s and 1890s, moved the family permanently to Yavapai County in 1892, settling in a camp mining town, which was named Stoddard in his honor.[6]
His maternal grandfather was Celora E. Martin, who he was named after, was a judge on the New York Supreme Court.[7]
He married Ada Vansant of Philadelphia on March 1, 1910 in a private ceremony in Phoenix.[8]
His son, James Vansant Stoddard, was born on June 19, 1911 in Prescott.[9]
By 1914 he was working for this father in the Stoddard Incorporating Company, where he was the secretary of the corporation.[3]
In 1914 he purchased The Rose Tree, a tea parlor and confectionary in Phoenix, refurbished it and turning it into a very successful establishment.[10][11] He held on to the property for 18 months, before selling to the Donofrio Company.[12]
During the 1910s, Stoddard, along with his wife, were amateur thespians.[13][14][15]
In March 1916 Stoddard engineered a joint venture between the Stoddard Mines Co. and the Copper Queen Gold Mining Company to form the Stoddard Milling Company, of which he was the general manager, and erected a 150-ton-per-day flotation mill.[16][17] The mill serviced the Binghamton Mine, owned by Stoddard Mines, and the Copper Queen Mine.[18]
In May 1917 Stoddard divorced Ada, citing "abandonment" as the grounds for the suit. The wife was given custody of their son, and given a monthly allowance, and the real estate assets, which included houses in Phoenix and Long Beach, California were split up by the court.[19]
In 1917 Stoddard was involved in attempting to establish a film studio in Arizona. After considering both Phoenix and Tucson, a site was selected in the Elysian Grove section of Tucson for the studio.[20][21]
