Benjamin Odell (politician)
Benjamin Barker Odell, Jr. (January 14, 1854May 9, 1926) was an American businessman and politician who served as the 34th Governor of New York from 1901-1904.
==Early life==
Born in Newburgh in 1854, Odell's father, Benjamin B. Odell, Sr. was a leading town businessman who served twelve years as the town's mayor. Odell studied at Bethany College in West Virginia, and at the Columbia College of Columbia University; while he would have graduated in 1877, Odell dropped out of school in his junior year, returning to Newburgh to help in his father's business.
Odell worked his way up to head his father's ice business, starting as the driver of an ice delivery truck, earning $2 per day. Having become familiar with the people of the Newburgh area, Odell participated in the political affairs of his father, which would allow him to become involved in the politics of his home town, turning a bellwether city to one strongly Republican. He would go on to be appointed Ice Controller of New York during the First World War, and later President of both the Consolidated Gas, Electric Light, Heat, and Power Company of Newburgh and of the Central Hudson Steamboat Company. During his early days in politics, Odell ran unsuccessfully for Supervisor of New Windsor, as well as losing a bid after being drafted as a candidate for New York State Senate, in a Democratic district.
