John B. Kendrick, was a cowboy who became one of Wyoming's governors. He came to Wyoming as a cowboy hired to drive a herd of cattle from the Matagorta area of Texas. Kendrick liked what he saw and stayed. After he arrived in Wyoming he married the seventeen year old daughter of his employer. Though Kendrick had little education or backing he made himself a wealthy cattleman. He educated himself, and, with the help of his wife, created a successful business and political life. Kendrick built upon his success in business by entering politics and was elected to the Wyoming State Senate. He continued to serve in politics and was elected governor in 1915. Governor Kendrick resigned after two years to take office as the U.S. Senator for Wyoming. Senator Kendrick served two and one half terms in the Senate and died in office November 3, 1933 and was buried in Sheridan, Wyoming.
