This page needs something to be done about the size of the table at the bottom; it stretches the page to extreme amounts. MBob 19:45, 12 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Unfixable, due to the nature of the table. Scroll horizontally. --Golbez 20:39, 12 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

There is a small error I found in the timeline for the table. Joseph A. McArdle resigned from the 33rd district in 1942 and was replaced for the remainder of his term by Elmer J. Holland. However, Holland does not appear in the table at this location. Npeters22 17:59, 7 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Another error.

John P. Saylor briefly served in the 26th district after the death of Robert L. Coffey in 1949. Also, according to his congressional bio, Saylor served in Congress 1951-1953, but I can't determine what seat he held.Npeters22 15:36, 9 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

See the comments below regarding the 1951-1953 term. Npeters22 14:25, 28 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

After the death of

After the death of Frank Buchanan in 1951 in the 33rd district, Vera Buchanan served out the reminder of the term. Npeters22 16:18, 23 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The Congressional Biography for Joseph L. Carrigg says he took office after the death of Wilson D. Gillette. However, the table shows Gillette in the 14th district, with Carrigg following Robert F. Rich in the 15th district. Note, this is the same time period that involves the missing term for John P. Saylor described above. I suspect there is some confusion due to the redistricting.

There appears to be an error in the 1951 to 1953 term. Using the Politcal Graveyard I can note the following.

• Edward L. Sittler, Jr.
• Edward L. Sittler, Jr. was in the 23rd district, not Walter M. Mumma
• Walter M. Mumma was in the 18th disctrict, not Alvin Bush
• Alvin Bush was in the 15th district, not Joseph L. Carrigg
• Joseph L. Carrigg was in the 14th ditrict, for the reasons described above.

This seems to close the loop on the error. Npeters22 14:25, 28 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Veronica Grace Boland served in the 11th district after the death of her husband Patrick J. Boland in 1942 during the 77th Congress.

• These are all notable issues. Why not fix them? —Markles 15:53, 17 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Is there a place to show me how to manipulate the tables? I can change names and such, but I don't know how to add partial terms, for example. I've tried to figure it out from the format of the table, but don't really feel it's clear what I should do to achieve the desired result. Npeters22 18:07, 17 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Also, I am listing items here so that I can get to them later when I do figure it out. In the mean time, I would be more than happy to have someone else take care of it. Npeters22 20:59, 18 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Furthermore, did William Findley and/or Albert Gallatin serve the 11th district? Their articles and the Political Graveyard give patently conflicting answers.

—Markles 15:26, 16 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm satisfied with your example solution. The whole situation is messy, and I haven't been able to come up with a better way of dealing with it. As to your question, I think Findley was in the 11th and Gallatin was in the 12th. I have uncovered a number of problems with the Political Graveyard in the early Congresses, and not just with the general ticket issues. I am still looking for a definitive source for these Congresses and would welcome any ideas you may have. When in doubt, I am cross referencing the information on this page and in my sources with the information on the pages with the individual congresses. Npeters22 13:52, 20 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Herman Toll

(I'm not sure how to properly edit this table.) Herman Toll was 4th district rep. in the 88th and 89th congress. Joshua Eilberg was rep. in the 90th.--Appraiser 21:34, 12 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
