Farrington, Elizabeth P. (Elizabeth Pruett), 1898-1984
Mary Elizabeth Pruett Farrington (May 30, 1898 – July 21, 1984), more commonly known as Elizabeth P. Farrington, was publisher of the Honolulu Star-Bulletin and an American stateswoman who served as delegate to the United States Congress for the Territory of Hawai'i from 1954 to 1957. She was a member of the Republican Party.
Born in Tokyo to American parents on May 30, 1898, she attended Tokyo Foreign School before moving back to the United States. She attended grammar schools in Nashville, Tennessee, El Paso, Texas and Los Angeles, California. After graduating from Hollywood High School, Farrington attended Ward-Belmont Women's Junior College of Nashville and the University of Wisconsin–Madison, meeting her husband, Joseph Farrington, at the latter. After President Warren G. Harding appointed her father-in-law territorial governor of Hawai'i, Elizabeth Farrington moved with her husband to Honolulu to manage the family-owned Honolulu Star-Bulletin. In the early 1930s, Joseph Farrington was elected to the Hawai'i territorial senate and began a long political career in which he relied heavily on his wife for advice.
