Amos E. Wood
Amos Eastman Wood (born January 2, 1810 in Ellisburg , Jefferson County , New York , † November 19, 1850 in Fort Wayne , Indiana ) was an American politician . In 1849 and 1850 he represented the state of Ohio in the US House of Representatives .
Career
Amos Wood attended the public schools in his home country. In 1833 he moved to Sandusky County , Ohio, where he worked in agriculture. At the same time he embarked on a political career as a member of the Democratic Party . Between 1840 and 1842 he was a member of the Ohio House of Representatives ; in 1845 he was a member of the State Senate .
After the death of MP Rodolphus Dickinson , Wood was elected as his successor to the US House of Representatives in Washington, DC in the by-election due for the sixth seat of Ohio , where he took up his new mandate on December 3, 1849. He was able to exercise this until his death on November 19, 1850. This required another by-election for the legislative term that began on March 4, which John Bell of the Whig Party won. During Wood's time in Congress there was heated debate over the issue of slavery .
