Robert Ailshie (February 16, 1908 – November 16, 1947)[1] was an American attorney and politician from Idaho who served as the state's 20th attorney general for less than eleven months in 1947.[2][3] His father, James Ailshie (1868–1947), was a justice on the Idaho Supreme Court for 24 years, with several stints as chief justice.[4]
Personal life[edit]
Elected attorney general in November 1946,[5][6] Ailshie died at age 39 of a heart attack at home; his mother had died a week earlier and his father less than six months prior.[7][8] His brother James Jr. (1900–1938), a former U.S. attorney, also died of a heart attack in his late thirties, nearly a decade earlier.[9]
