Dennis Murphree

Herron Dennis Murphree (January 6, 1886 - February 9, 1949) was a Mississippi politican. He was twice elected to the lieutenant governorship, once in 1923 and again in 1939. In late 1927, he became governor after the death of incumbent Henry L. Whitfield[?] and served for around a month until Theodore G. Bilbo was sworn the following January. With the death of Paul B. Johnson, Sr. in 1943, Murphree again became governor and finished the year left in Johnson's term.
