Stevens T. Mason is back in the news once again. For those of you who are unfamiliar with Michigan politics, Stevens T. Mason became the first governor of the State of Michigan at the age of 22.
Well, it is not the fact that he brought Michigan into state hood that makes him news worthy. It is the fact that they misplaced his body. Well, temporarily at least.
Back in the early 50s, his body was interned at the site of the first state capital in Detroit. Well, the site is undergoing a million dollar renovation and Stevens needed to be moved. Unfortunately, he wasn’t where they thought. But, after a fews days and some high tech equipment, he was located and exhumed.
When the site is finished, Stevens will be laid to rest once again.
