April 1894 in Chicago) war ein US-amerikanischer Politiker (Republikanische Partei), der den Bundesstaat Michigan im US-Senat vertrat. Nach dem Schulbesuch in Maine arbeitete Francis Stockbridge zunächst von 1843 bis 1847 als Angestellter in einem Großhandelshaus in Boston; danach führte er sein eigenes Bauholzunternehmen in Chicago. 1851 zog er nach in Michigan, wo er in der Leitung mehrerer Sägewerke sowie als Kaufmann tätig war; ab 1863 lebte er dann in Kalamazoo und stieg dort ebenfalls ins Holzgeschäft ein. 1869 begann Stockbridges politische Laufbahn mit der Mitgliedschaft im Repräsentantenhaus von Michigan; zwei Jahre später zog er in den Staatssenat ein. Am 12. Juli 1875 wurde er zum US-Botschafter in den Niederlanden ernannt und legte auch den Amtseid ab, trat den Posten jedoch nicht an. Stattdessen ging er weiter seinen Geschäften nach und erwarb 1882 das Gelände, auf dem später das Grand Hotel von Mackinac Island entstehen sollte. Stockbridge führte die drei großen auf der Insel aktiven Verkehrsunternehmen in einer Finanzierungsgesellschaft zusammen: Die Michigan Central Railroad, die und die bildeten gemeinsam die Mackinac Island Hotel Company, welche die Fertigstellung des Hotels im Jahr 1887 ermöglichte. Im selben Jahr kehrte Stockbridge auch ins politische Geschehen zurück, als er für die Republikaner in den US-Senat gewählt wurde. Nach seiner ersten Amtsperiode wurde er 1893 bestätigt; bereits im folgenden Jahr starb er jedoch, während er seinen Neffen in Chicago besuchte. Während seiner Zeit im Senat stand Francis Stockbridge unter anderem dem vor. Er war das letzte Mitglied der Staatslegislative von Michigan, das in den US-Senat einzog, bis dies Debbie Stabenow im Jahr 2000 wieder gelang. (de) Francis Brown Stockbridge (April 9, 1826 – April 30, 1894) was a U.S. Senator from the state of Michigan. Stockbridge was born in Bath, Maine, the son of a physician, Dr. John Stockbridge, and attended the common schools there. He clerked at a wholesale house in Boston 1843-1847. He then moved to Chicago and opened a lumber yard. In 1851 he moved to Saugatuck, Michigan, and engaged in the operation of sawmills. He was also interested in mercantile pursuits. In 1863 he moved to Kalamazoo and there engaged in the lumber business. That same year he married Bessie, a schoolteacher and sister of George Thomas Arnold, a lumberman and business associate there (and later at Mackinac Island). In 1869 Stockbridge became a member of the Michigan State House of Representatives and in 1871 a member of the Michigan State Senate. He was appointed ambassador to the Netherlands on July 12, 1875, took the oath of office but never proceeded to the post. In 1882, Stockbridge purchased the site of the famous Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island and arranged financing for its construction from the three major transportation companies that rendered service to the island at the time: the Michigan Central Railroad, the Grand Rapids and Indiana Railroad, and the Detroit and Cleveland Navigation Company. Together, they formed the Mackinac Island Hotel Company, which then built the Grand Hotel in 1887. He was elected as a Republican to the United States Senate in 1887 and was reelected in 1893. He served from March 4, 1887, until his death on April 30, 1894. He was chairman of the in the Fiftieth through Fifty-second Congresses. While visiting his nephew James Houghteling in Chicago he died soon after he was hit and injured by a Chicago cable car. Although the accident itself was not fatal, his associates attributed his death to the mental stress he endured from it. He and his wife are interred in Mountain Home Cemetery in Kalamazoo, Michigan. Stockbridge was the last person to have served in the Michigan State Legislature and in the United States Senate until Debbie Stabenow was elected in 2000.
