John S. Barry: The 4th & 8th Governor of Michigan (The only one to serve 3 terms!)
Manage episode 333122589 series 3325720
John Stewart Barry was elected the State of Michigan's 4th Governor in 1842, and served until 1846. He was again elected in 1850 where he became the 8th Governor. He is the only one in state history to serve three terms, and he is most noted for the expansion of the railroad, as well as the opening of the University of Michigan during his term. He was also very interested in the cultivation of sugar beets in the state, and even visited Europe during his first term to obtain information on this crop.
He was a successful businessman in the merchantile business in White Pigeon and later Constantine, when Michigan became a state. He has served in the state constitutional convention, and was elected as the first Senator. His story is quite an interesting one.
