Samuel Whitney Hale (April 2, 1823 – October 16, 1891) was an American manufacturer and Republican politician in the U.S. state of New Hampshire. He served as a member of the New Hampshire House of Representatives and as the 39th Governor of New Hampshire.
Early life and career
Hale was born in Fitchburg, Massachusetts, the son of Samuel and Saloma Hale.[1] He attended public schools in Fitchburg before moving to Dublin, New Hampshire in 1845 to work in furniture manufacturing. Hale moved to Keene, New Hampshire around 1859 to continue working in the furniture making business, eventually becoming head of the South Keene Chair Manufacturing Company and the Ashuelot Furniture Company.[2] His success in the furniture manufacturing business enabled him to expand his interests, which grew to include banks, railroads and several other ventures.
In 1866, he was elected to the New Hampshire House of Representatives where he served until 1867.[3] He served on the Governor's Council from 1869 to 1871.[4] In 1880, he was a delegate to the Republican National Convention.[5] Hale was elected as the 39th Governor of New Hampshire in 1883.[6] After serving one term, he retired from his political career and returned to his business ventures.
Hale died in Keene on October 16, 1891 and is interred in the Greenlawn Cemetery in Keene,
