Patrick Francis Gill (August 16, 1868 – May 21, 1923) was a U.S. Representative from Missouri.
The United States House of Representatives is the lower chamber of the United States Congress, the Senate being the upper chamber. Together they compose the legislature of the United States.
Missouri is a state in the Midwestern United States. With over six million residents, it is the 18th-most populous state of the Union. The largest urban areas are St. Louis, Kansas City, Springfield, and Columbia; the capital is Jefferson City. The state is the 21st-most extensive in area. In the South are the Ozarks, a forested highland, providing timber, minerals, and recreation. The Missouri River, after which the state is named, flows through the center of the state into the Mississippi River, which makes up Missouri's eastern border.
Born in Independence, Missouri, Gill moved with his widowed mother to St. Louis, Missouri, in 1871. He attended the parochial schools and St. Louis University in 1890. He engaged in the grocery business and served as clerk of the circuit court from 1904–1908. He was an unsuccessful candidate for sheriff in 1906. [1]
Independence is the fifth-largest city in the U.S. state of Missouri. It lies within Jackson County, of which it is the county seat. Independence is a satellite city of Kansas City, Missouri, and is part of the Kansas City metropolitan area. In 2010, it had a total population of 116,830.
A sheriff is a government official, with varying duties, existing in some countries with historical ties to England, where the office originated. There is an analogous although independently developed office in Iceland that is commonly translated to English as sheriff, and this is discussed below.
Gill was elected as a Democrat to the Sixty-first Congress (March 4, 1909 – March 3, 1911). He successfully contested the election of Theron E. Catlin to the Sixty-second Congress and served from August 12, 1912, to March 3, 1913. He was an unsuccessful candidate for renomination. He served as mediator in the Bureau of Mediation and Conciliation, Department of Labor, from July 13, 1918, to September 11, 1922. He died in St. Louis, Missouri, May 21, 1923. He was interred in Calvary Cemetery.
The Democratic Party is one of the two major contemporary political parties in the United States, along with the Republican Party. Tracing its heritage back to Thomas Jefferson and James Madison's Democratic-Republican Party, the modern-day Democratic Party was founded around 1828 by supporters of Andrew Jackson, making it the world's oldest active political party.
The United States Department of Labor (DOL) is a cabinet-level department of the U.S. federal government responsible for occupational safety, wage and hour standards, unemployment insurance benefits, reemployment services, and some economic statistics; many U.S. states also have such departments. The department is headed by the U.S. Secretary of Labor.
