Morgan Bulkeley Dead Former Connecticut Governor and Senator
Hartford dispatch reports Morgan Gardner Bulkeley, longtime Hartford leader, former governor of Connecticut from 1899 to 1901, U S senator 1905 to 1911, and president of Aetna Life Insurance, died at his home after a brief illness. Born December 26, 1827, Bulkeley’s career included a notable 1891 legislative deadlock and a dramatic entry into the executive chamber with a crowbar. The piece recalls the disputed 1890 ballots and constitutional issues that left the governorship unresolved.
