[edit] WTF? Served “1879 - 1912”; “Died in office in 1879”?!?
Alright, so we have
- Henry H. Bingham | Republican | 1879 - 1912 | Philadelphia | Died in office in 1879
Grand: the man served for many years after his friggin' death! Indeed, he was apparently reëlected a number of times after his death. Pennsylvania is truly weird! —12.72.73.84 19:29, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
- Okay, I have repaired that silliness. —12.72.73.84 19:34, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] General ticket
I presume some of these Reps who served together at the same time from the same district were elected on a general ticket. Is that so?
Then if so, I suggest formatting this article more like Pennsylvania's At-large congressional district, which can handle multiple Reps.
