  • William John McConnell was Governor of Idaho from 1893 until 1897. Prior to that he represented Idaho as one of its first United States Senators after statehood. As a young man McConnell moved to California to engage in mining, cattle, merchandising, and banking. He then lived in Oregon from 1862 to 1863, where he taught school, and then moved to Idaho Territory in 1863. From 1865 to 1867 he served as a deputy U.S. Marshal. McConnell returned to Oregon and worked in the cattle business. In 1886, McConnell returned to Idaho and became a member of the state constitutional convention in 1890. In November 1890 McConnell was elected by the Idaho Legislature to serve in the United States Senate for the remainder of the Fifty-first United States Congress which ended in March 1891. In that same election the Idaho Legislature chose former Idaho Territory Congressional delegate Fred Dubois to serve the full six-year term from that point forward. McConnell was elected Governor of Idaho in 1892 and then again in 1894. He was appointed Indian Inspector by President William McKinley in 1897, serving until 1901. In 1909, McConnell was appointed as an Inspector of the Immigration Service in Moscow, Idaho, by President William Howard Taft, and served in that position until his death.

  • William John McConnell, född 18 september 1839 i Oakland County, Michigan, död 30 mars 1925 i Moscow, Idaho, var en amerikansk republikansk politiker. Han representerade Idaho i 1890-1891. Han var guvernör i Idaho 1893-1897. McConnell flyttade i sin ungdom till Kalifornien och sysslade där bland annat med boskapsskötsel och bergsbruk. Han bodde därefter en kort tid i Oregon och flyttade 1863 till Idahoterritoriet. Han återvände några år senare till Oregon och var 1882 talman i delstatens senat. Fyra år senare flyttade han tillbaka till Idahoterritoriet och var 1890 en av delegaterna till Idahos konstitutionskonvent. När Idaho 1890 blev delstat, valdes McConnell och George Laird Shoup till de två första senatorerna. McConnell efterträddes 1891 som senator av Fred Dubois. McConnell vann guvernörsvalet i Idaho 1892. Han omvaldes 1894 och efterträddes 1897 som guvernör av Frank Steunenberg. McConnells grav finns på Moscow Cemetery i Moscow, Idaho.
