Who was Frederic Hale Parkhurst?

Frederic Hale Parkhurst 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 for 25 hours in 1953.
