Frederic H. 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 took office as Maine's Governor on January 5, 1921. He collapsed on his first day of office and died shortly thereafter 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.
