Benjamin Stanton
Benjamin Stanton (born June 4, 1809 in Mount Pleasant , Jefferson County , Ohio , † June 2, 1872 in Wheeling , West Virginia ) was an American politician and lawyer.
After completing his school career, Stanton devoted himself to studying law , but also gained experience in tailoring. In 1834 he was admitted to the bar, after which he began to practice as a lawyer in Bellefontaine . Stanton was also politically active: in 1841 and 1843 he sat in the Ohio Senate . In 1850 he took part in the state's constitutional convention. He was later elected as a member of the Whigs to the United States House of Representatives, where he initially remained from March 4, 1851 to March 3, 1853. On March 4, 1855, he returned to the opposition party in the Congress back, to which he belonged after repeated re-election until March 3, 1861; during this time he joined the Republicans . In Congress he was, among other things, a member of the military committee.
In 1862 he was able to assert himself in the election to lieutenant governor of Ohio, for two years he held this office. From 1865 he turned back to the law. He moved to Wheeling, where he died in 1872 and was also buried.
