Odell, Moses Fowler 1818-1866

Statesman; born in Tarrytown, N. Y., Feb. 24, 1818; elected to Congress in 1861 as a fusion Democrat from a district in Brooklyn, and in 1863 as a war Democrat, although the district was overwhelmingly Republican. In 1865 he was appointed naval officer of the port of New York, and subsequently was offered the post of collector of the port, which he declined on account of failing health. Mr. Odell was a prominent member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and widely known as the superintendent of the Sunday-school of Sands Street Church. He died in Brooklyn, N. Y., June 13, 1866.
