William H. Dick

William H. Dick (January 7, 1815 - May 3, 1882) was a Brothertown Indian farmer, carpenter and politician who served two terms, 20 years apart, in the Wisconsin State Assembly.

On March 12, 1851, he was elected to the General Committee of the newly organized Wisconsin State Agricultural Society.

[3] In 1870 Dick was elected from the same district to serve in the 1871 term (Democratic incumbent James Robinson was not a candidate), receiving 1,055 votes to 562 for Republican George Montgomery and 75 for independent Hector McLean.

[4] In 1871 he was not nominated for re-election, and veteran fellow Democrat Casper H. M. Petersen would return to the Assembly seat he'd held before.

With Alonzo D. Dick and William Fowler, he was one of three Brothertown Indians to serve in Wisconsin's legislature before the Civil War,[5] the only non-white members of that body until the 1908 election of Lucian H. Palmer.
