John B. Macy

John B. Macy ( born March 25, 1799 in Nantucket, Massachusetts, † September 24, 1856 on Lake Michigan ) was an American politician. From 1853 to 1855 he represented the state of Wisconsin in the U.S. House of Representatives.

Career

After leaving school, John Macy in 1826 moved first to New York City and then in the same year to Buffalo ( New York). Between 1842 and 1845 he lived in Cincinnati (Ohio ). Macy was one of the founders of the city of Toledo and was co-owner of the railway company Rock River Valley Union Railroad. In 1845 he moved to Fond du Lac in Wisconsin Territory, where he worked in the real estate industry. He later moved into the Empire.

Politically, Macy was a member of the Democratic Party. In the congressional elections of 1852 he was in the third electoral district of Wisconsin in the U.S. House of Representatives in Washington, DC selected. There he entered on March 4, 1853, the successor of James Duane Doty. Since he has not been confirmed in the elections of 1854, he was able to complete only one term in Congress until March 3, 1855. This was marked by the events leading up to the Civil War. It was at that time especially around the issue of slavery.

After his retirement from the U.S. House of Representatives Macy took his previous activities on again. He died on 24 September 1856, on the steamship Niagara, which ended up on Lake Michigan near Port Washington fire. His body was never found.
