Adrian Posey
Adrian Posey (1857–1922) was an American politician from Maryland.
Adrian Posey was one of five children born to Washington Adrian Posey.[1][2] A Republican, Posey served one term on the Maryland House of Delegates (1888–1890) and two terms as a member of the Maryland Senate (1890–1894).[1][3] In 1892, he was nominated to contest the post of senate president, losing to Edward Lloyd.[4] Posey owned the Maryland Independent from 1892 to his death.[3] Posey was Charles County attorney (1896–1900) after stepping down from the state legislature. Posey continued his legal practice upon ending his tenure as county attorney.[5][6] He and his wife Mamie Howard Posey lived in an estate called Elmwood in the 1900s.[7] Later that decade, Posey became one of the first residents of Charles County to own a car.[8]
Posey died of heart disease, aged 65, in July 1922 while at home in La Plata, Maryland.[3][9]
