Wyman Spooner (July 2, 1795 – November 18, 1877)[1] was an American printer, lawyer, politician, and Wisconsin pioneer.
He was born in 1795 in Hardwick, Massachusetts, where he worked as a printer.
He became a Republican in 1854 upon the organization of that party, and was elected to two additional terms (1857 and 1861) before advancing to the Wisconsin State Senate's 12th District from 1862 until 1863.
In 1872 he supported Liberal Republican Horace Greeley for the presidency of the United States.
He renounced his membership in the Republican Party entirely in 1876, heading the slate of Democratic presidential electors for nominee Samuel J.
