Frederic Hale Parkhurst

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Frederic Hale Parkhurst (born November 5, 1864 in Bangor, Maine; died January 31, 1921 in Augusta, Maine) is a former Maine Republican politician.

Parkhurst ran for governor in 1920 and won the general election with 65% of the Maine citizens votes. He took office as Maine's 52nd Governor on January 5, 1921, collapsed on his first day of office, and died shortly thereafter of pneumonia on January 31, 1921. His 26 days as Governor make his term one of the shortest in Maine history; the record belongs to Nathaniel Haskell, who served but one day in 1953.
