Good morning, Whitewater.

Midweek in town will see an even chance of morning showers and a high of sixty-two.  Sunrise is 7:06 AM and sunset is 6:15 PM, for 11h 09m 25s of daytime.  The moon is a waxing gibbous with 81.7% of its visible disk illuminated.

Whitewater’s Community Development Authority will hold a housing roundtable at 8 AM, the Police and Fire Commission meets at Noon, and the CDA Board will meet at 6:30 PM.

On this date Territorial Governor Henry Dodge was born in Vincennes, Indiana. The son of Israel Dodge and Nancy Hunter, Henry Dodge was the first Territorial Governor of Wisconsin. Prior to this position, he served as Marshall and Brigadier General of the Missouri Territory, Chief Justice of the Iowa County (Wisconsin) Court. During the Black Hawk War of 1832 he led the Wisconsin militia who ultimately brought the conflict to its tragic end. He served as Territorial Governor from July 3, 1836 to October 5, 1841 and again from May 13, 1845 to June 7, 1848. He also served as U.S. Territorial Senator from 1841 to 1846.

When Wisconsin was admitted to the Union as a State, dodge was elected as a Democrat to the United States Senate; he was reelected in 1851 and served from June 8, 1848, to March 3, 1857. He was also twice nominated for President and once for Vice President, all of which he declined. Henry Dodge died on June 19, 1867 in Burlington, Iowa.
