Henry Huber

Henry Allen Huber (November 6, 1869 – January 31, 1933) was a Wisconsin politician. He was born in Evergreen, Pennsylvania, in 1869 and moved to Pleasant Springs, Wisconsin, with his parents at the age of ten.[1] He graduated from the University of Wisconsin in 1892 and set up a law practice in Stoughton. He was city attorney for Stoughton, Wisconsin, and served on the Dane County Board of Supervisors. He served as a Republican in the Wisconsin State Assembly from 1905 until 1906, and in the Wisconsin State Senate from 1913 until 1924.

During his time as a senator, he gained national recognition for writing the Huber Law, which allowed county prisoners to be employed during the day and launched the concept of the prison work release program; he is also known for introducing landmark unemployment legislation. He later served four terms as the 25th Lieutenant Governor of Wisconsin, from 1925 until 1933, under four different governors.[1][2]

Huber died of a heart ailment, at Madison General Hospital, Madison, Wisconsin, on January 31, 1933, aged 63.[3][4]
