Allen M. Fletcher

Allen Miller Fletcher (September 25, 1853 – May 11, 1922) was an American politician who served as the 54th governor of Vermont from 1912 to 1915.

Fletcher was selected by the Vermont General Assembly after a three-way race including a Progressive party nominee prevented any candidate from obtaining the popular vote majority required by the Vermont Constitution.

[11] After leaving the Governor's office, Fletcher returned to his business interests, and was an unsuccessful candidate for the Republican U.S. Senate nomination in 1916, losing to incumbent Carroll S.

[12] Fletcher died of a cerebral hemorrhage while staying at Rutland's Berwick Hotel.

[16] In addition, his heirs donated the Ludlow property that is today the Fletcher Farm School, a non-profit educational center that offers instruction in the arts.
