Earliest serving United States governor

This page contains the individuals, who, at the time of their deaths, were the earliest serving governor of any U.S. state who was still living. The current earliest serving U.S. governor is George M. Leader.
America's fascination with the last surving governor from a certain era has probably most recently highlighted by the death of Governor/Senator Strom Thurmond who was remembered as the last of 10 South Carolina governors from Edgefield, South Carolina who were Segregationists [ [http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qn4158/is_19960611/ai_n14041692 bNet: The oldest mover in town] ] . Thurmond's death was seen as the final closing of an era.
