In 1883, after the 1880 census, Nebraska was apportioned more representatives who were elected from geographically based districts, thereby obviating the need for an at-large representative.
Previously elected delegate from the Territory of Nebraska to the United States Congress. Elected in June 1866 in special election in anticipation of Nebraska's admission to the Union (March 1, 1867). Retired.
