Michigan By. H. G. Wells
His term of service was very short, with little opportunity to bring himself into notice or endear himself to the people.
On the final admission of Michigan into the Union, Stevens T. Mason was inaugurated as Governor. In view of the fact that he had only reached his twenty-third year, and that his experience was limited, he served his constituents well and faithfully. He was of fine personal bearing, with social qualities that made him very attractive, especially with the ladies. He removed to the city of New York, and there with with prospects bright for success in the law, he died, yet a young man.
Next in the succession was William Woodbridge, a learned man, great as a lawyer and distinguished in all the political positions he ever held. I speak not disparagingly of any man living or dead, when I say that no one has filled the office of Governor of Michigan with more of ability, more of independence and more integrity than William Woodbridge.
