Ansel Briggs

Ansel Briggs (February 3 1806, Shoreham, Vermont – May 5 1881, Omaha, Nebraska) was the first governor of Iowa, from 1846 to 1850.

He was a resident of Andrew, Iowa, where his stone house, on N Johnson St., is still inhabited to this day. His family used to have a home and mill near Brush Creek north of Andrew at a place known as Bluff Mills, which is a popular public fishing area now even though the house and mill are gone.

Although he was originally buried in Omaha, Nebraska he was re-interred in 1909 in the Andrew Cemetery, Andrew, Iowa
