James Warner Ostrander (July 20, 1825 – December 21, 1913) was an American furniture manufacturer, banker, and Republican politician. He served four non-consecutive terms (1873, 1875, 1879, 1882) in the Wisconsin State Assembly representing southern Jefferson County.[1] He also served in several county offices in Jefferson County.
Ostrander was born in July 1825 (sources have differed on the exact date) in Clay, New York.[2] He received a common school education, and came to Wisconsin in 1842, settling in Jefferson County, where he became a furniture manufacturer.
