Edwin L. Norris

Edwin L. Norris (August 15, 1865, Cumberland County, Kentucky – April 25, 1924) was a Montana politician who served as Governor and Lieutenant Governor.

Norris moved from Kentucky to Montana in 1889. He practiced law in Dillon, Montana and was city attorney there for five years. Norris was elected to the Montana State Senate in 1896 and served until 1900. From 1904-08, he was Lieutenant Governor. He became Governor in 1908 on the resignation of Joseph K. Toole, and was elected in his own right in the 1908 election, serving until 1913.

Norris is credited for signing state laws prohibiting discrimination by life insurance companies and making mine operators liable when employees became disabled.
