Ohio, 1882, $1000, 6% First Mortgage Gold Bond, Issued and uncancelled Bond, Black on green border and underprint, Ohio Arms with rising sun in middle flanked by coal mining scenes, Coupons attached, VF-XF condition, Homer Lee BNC. Signed by Oliver Ames as Treasurer. U.S. political figure and financier. He was the 35th Governor of Massachusetts (1887–1890). He was the son of Oakes Ames (1804–1873), a United States Congressman who was censured in the Credit Mobilier scandal. As his father's heir, Ames spent several years in paying off the obligations of millions of dollars incurred by the Union Pacific Railroad and other undertakings. He entered public life avowedly to vindicate his father's memory: he was lieutenant-governor of Massachusetts 1882-86, in 1883 obtained the vindicatory resolution he sought, and from 1886 to 1888 was governor.
