Winthrop Harvey Fairbank (March 13, 1857–February 13, 1922) was an American farmer and politician from Sudbury, Massachusetts. Fairbank represented the 13th Middlesex district as a Democrat in the Massachusetts House of Representatives from 1910 to 1912.
Career
In 1857, Fairbank was born in Sudbury to Emily A. Wheeler and Jonathan Parker Fairbank. He was a sixth-generation descendant of Jonathan Fairbanks, an English colonist, who built the Fairbanks House in Dedham.
A farmer by trade, Fairbank purchased Fairbank Farm on Old Sudbury Road in 1880 and expanded into dairy farming a decade later. Fairbank later married Ida Nancy Haynes in 1889. They had three children: Parker Wheeler; Harvey Nathan; and Myra Louise, later Baldwin.
In 1909, Fairbank ran to represent the 13th Middlesex district as a Democrat in the Massachusetts House of Representatives. He then won the election against Charles W. Prescott of Concord. Fairbank did not seek reelection and was succeeded by Waldo L. Stone, also from Sudbury.
In 1922, Fairbank died in Concord. Three days later, his funeral was held at the First Parish of Sudbury and was buried at the nearby Mount Pleasant Cemetery.
The Sudbury Historical Society contains a cabinet card portrait of Fairbank, photographed by Elmer Chickering in 1910.
