==Early life and education==
Line 29 ⟶ 30:
Spaulding became active in the Republican Party in New Hampshire. He followed in the footsteps of his younger brother [[Rolland H. Spaulding|Roland]], who had been elected governor in 1914. He was Chairman of the New Hampshire's Food Production Committee and New Hampshire's federal food administrator [[World War I]]. He also served as chairman of the European Relief Council, a private charity that worked with other charities and government agencies to raise millions of dollars to aid orphans and refugees following the war. From 1921 to 1926 he was President of the State Board of Education.
He was elected Governor of [[New Hampshire]] in 1926, and served one term, 1927 to 1929, before the [[Great Depression]] began.
The Spaulding Company was the major employer in [[Tonawanda, New York]]. After the death of their two brothers, Spaulding and his married sister Marion Potter designed a charitable trust for the Spaulding Company. It was to disburse all their assets within 15 years of the death of the last Spaulding sibling. Marion Spaulding Potter was the last survivor, living until 1957.
Huntley Spaulding was known for his philanthropy in the fields of health and education. He served as president of the boards of trustees of Lawrence Academy and [[Tufts University]]. He died at his home in [[Rochester, New Hampshire]] on November 14, 1955, and was buried at [[Mount Auburn Cemetery]],
