Albertus LeRoy (A.L.) Freehafer (February 12, 1868 in Butler, Richland County, Ohio – October 28, 1940 in Payette, Idaho). He was a son of Andrew Freehafer and Martha Ellen Kinton, both natives of Richland County, Ohio. He was a Democratic politician from Idaho. From 1907 to 1908, he represented Washington County, Idaho as a member of the House of Representatives, and was a minority leader in the assembly. He served two terms as a state senator. As senator, he represented Washington County, Idaho from 1909 to 1912 and Payette County, Idaho from 1929 to 1934. In 1911, Senator Freehafer introduced a bill, written by L.L. Burtenshaw, to the state legislature of Idaho to create Adams County. The bill passed on March 3, 1911.〔L.L. Burtenshaw, "A Short History of Adams County," ''Adams County Leader'', July 1929 (supplement, no day given ).〕 In 1924, A.L. Freehafer was a Democratic nominee for Governor of Idaho, but finished behind H.F. Samuels, the Progressive candidate, losing by only 81 points. The Republican governor, Charles C. Moore, came in third.〔"Mixed Result in this County; Samuels Leads Freehafer by 81 — Moore, a Very Poor Third. Most of County Ticket Republican," (newspaper but probably Payette Independent or Payette Enterprise, unknown date ).〕 Freehafer is the grandfather of James (Jim) Albertus McClure, a former Republican United States Senator from Idaho. ==Notes== 〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「A.
