| | John James Ingalls of Atchison, Kansas |
 | | Ingalls, John James (Dec. 29, 1833 - Aug. 16, 1900), senator from Kansas, was born in Middleton, Mass., the oldest child of Elias Theodore Ingalls, a businessman of Haverhill, later a shoe manufacturer, and of Eliza (Chase) Ingalls. |
 | | As a result of this disclosure, Ingalls was elected, in January 1873, by the joint convention of the legislature. |
 | | With his record on pension legislation and his baiting of the South, Ingalls made himself the idol of the Kansas G.A.R. This was his political strength, for he was not so much the controlling leader of the party machine in the state as he was its figurehead. |
