Floyd W. Schmoe (September 21, 1895 – April 20, 2001) was a Quaker, pacifist and author living in the Seattle, Washington area for most of his life.

Early life

Floyd Schmoe was a stretcher bearer during World War I. He did not fight because he was a pacifist and conscientious objector based on his Quaker faith. He did not take part in World War II. After World War II he went to Hiroshima, Japan, and helped rebuild houses that were destroyed by the atomic bomb. He built 21 homes from 1949 to 1953 in Hiroshima financed by funds from the US.[1] He exchanged letters with Emperor Hirohito.[2]

Floyd Schmoe was awarded the Order of the Sacred Treasure (4th Class) in 1988 for his efforts in Japan.[3]

He became a professor of forestry at the University of Washington. He was the first park naturalist at Mt. Rainier National Park. He also traveled all over the world and built the Seattle Peace Park. In 1988 he received the Hiroshima Peace Prize and was made an honorary citizen of Japan.[4]

Museum

In 2012, the sole remaining house was re-opened as a museum, with his then-85-year-old son Wilfred P. Schmoe attending along with Hiroshima mayor Kazumi Matsui.[1]
