William S. West

William Stanley West (August 23, 1849 - December 22, 1914) was a United States Senator from the state of Georgia. He was a Democrat.

West was born in Buena Vista, Georgia. He studied law at Mercer University and graduated in 1876. After passing the bar that same year, West became a practicing attorney. West served in the Georgia House of Representatives from 1892 until 1901 and the Georgia Senate from 1901 until 1906. He was appointed to the U.S. Senate in 1914 to serve the remainder of the term of Augustus O. Bacon who had died earlier that year. West served until Thomas W. Hardwick was elected to fill Bacon's seat.

Only one month after leaving his senatorial position, West died on December 22, 1914, in Valdosta, Georgia and was buried in Sunset Hill Cemetery in that same city.
