| Description | The interior of Governor Seabury Ford's home in 1936, shortly before its destruction. Geauga County residents elected Ford as a state representative in 1835. He was reelected to two additional terms and, for a time, served as the Speaker of the House. Between 1841 and 1848, Ford served as a state senator. From 1849 to 1850 he served as Governor. He was staunchly Anti-Slavery and his greatest success as Governor was the repeal of the Black Laws, which had discriminated against African Americans in Ohio. |
