Raymond Herbert Talbot (August 19, 1896 – January 30, 1955) was an American politician who served as the 27thGovernor of Colorado for eleven days in 1937.
Talbot, an electrical engineer, was elected to the Colorado House of Representatives in 1926 and to the Colorado Senate in 1928. In 1932, he was elected the 26th lieutenant governor as the running mate of Edwin C. Johnson. Johnson resigned as governor on January 1, 1937, eleven days before the expiration of his term, to take his seat in the United States Senate. Talbot was sworn in as governor to fill the eleven-day interim until the start of the term of newly elected governor Teller Ammons.
After his brief term as governor, Talbot served as a city commissioner and postmaster of Pueblo, Colorado, and continued in office as president of the Colorado State Fair Commission (1931–1953).
He was married Juniatta L. Wilson and had two children.[1]
Talbot died on January 30 1955, at the age of 58, and he buried at the Mountain View Cemetery in Pueblo.
