Excerpt: Lester Callaway Hunt (July 8, 1892 - June 19, 1954) was a Democratic politician and dentist from the state of Wyoming. He served as the 19th Governor of Wyoming from 1943 to 1949 and as United States Senator from January 3, 1949 until his suicide on June 19, 1954. Hunt was born in Isabel, Illinois.
