Herbert Goodell Barber (August 14, 1870 – October 5, 1947) was an American politician and lawyer.

Herbert G. Barber was born in Wardsboro, Vermont on August 14, 1870.

[1][2][3] Both Barbers were active in politics as Republicans, and served in local offices including Justice of the Peace,[4] and party positions including member of the Republican State Committee.

[5] In addition, Frank Barber served as state's attorney for Windham County from 1910 to 1912, and as judge of Brattleboro's municipal court.

[1] Vermont's law changing the start of terms of office from December to January took effect in 1914, so Governor Allen M. Fletcher appointed Barber to serve for the month of December 1914, bridging the gap between the end of Rufus E. Brown's term in November 1914 and the start of Barber's in January 1915.
