Hodgdon C. Buzzell

Hodgdon Charles Buzzell (1878- September 13, 1948) was an American lawyer and politician from Maine. Buzzell, a Republican from Belfast, severed six terms in the Maine Legislature, including four in the Maine House of Representatives and two in the Maine Senate.

Buzzell was first elected to the House in 1916, and was re-elected in 1918 and 1920. In 1922, he successfully sought a seat in the Senate. Following re-election to that body in 1924, Buzzell was chosen as the Senate President from 1925-1926.[1] Buzzell left the Senate in 1926 and unsuccessfully sought his party's nomination for United States Senate to replace the recently deceased Bert M. Fernald. He was defeated in that bid by Arthur R. Gould of Presque Isle.

In 1939, he returned to the House for his fourth and final term. In 1942, he was elected mayor of Belfast. He also served a Waldo County Judge of Probate. He died on September 13, 1948 at the age of 70.[2]
