He was born in Philadelphia, Illinois, and was appointed to the United States Naval Academy from that state. He served as the first commanding officer of the USS Livermore (DD-429) upon its launch in 1940. After his appointment, he advocated the diversification of the American Samoan economy. He also helped to increase the level American Samoan self-government, and was the first governor to serve alongside a Samoan legislature, the American Samoa Fono. LifeHuber was born on August 28, 1899 in Philadelphia, Illinois to parents Herbert Oliver and Nelle Davis Huber.[1] On December 27, 1927, he married Ida Brown.[1] Upon arriving at the El Camino Hospital in Los Altos, California on June 16, 1967, Huber was pronounced dead.[1] Naval careerHuber was appointed to the United States Naval Academy on July 17, 1918.[2] He was the first commander of the {{USS|Livermore|DD-429}} upon its launch in 1940.[3] GovernorshipOn August 22, 1947, Huber relieved Harold Houser and took the office of Governor of American Samoa.[1] His assistant governor was Ralph Ramey.[4] Huber supported the opening of a cannery by famed aviator Harold Gatty, believing it would help diversify the American Samoan economy.[5] During his term, the Samoans moved towards greater self-government. Under Huber's encouragement, the legislature of the territory, the American Samoa Fono, convened for the first time.[6] As governor, Huber maintained certain powers over the legislature, including the power of veto.[7] This reversed the previous position of Governor Otto Dowling, who had claimed an act of the United States Congress would be required to form a legislature.[6] He ceded the office to Thomas Francis Darden, Jr. on June 15, 1949.[1] References1. ^1 2 3 4 {{cite web|title=Captain Vernon Huber|url=http://americansamoa.gov/governors/captain-vernon-huber|work=Governors|publisher=Government of American Samoa|accessdate=17 May 2010|year=2010}} {{Governors of American Samoa}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Huber, Vernon}}2. ^{{cite book|title=Register of the Commissioned and Warrant Officers of the United States Navy and Marine Corps and Reserve Officers on Active Duty|year=1920|publisher=United States Government Printing Office|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=XDEoAAAAMAAJ&pg=RA2-PA265&dq=%22vernon+huber%22&lr=&ei=4XbgS_yuFIW0NumK3Z4L&cd=11#v=onepage&q=%22vernon%20huber%22&f=false|accessdate=17 May 2010|location=Washington, D.C.|page=265}} 3. ^{{cite news|title=New Destroyer Commissioned|newspaper=The New York Times|date=8 October 1940|author=Associated Press|publisher=The New York Times Company|location=New York City|page=14}} 4. ^{{cite news|last=Korman|first=Seymour|title=In Samoa the People Now Rule Chiefs|newspaper=Chicago Daily Tribune|publisher=Tribune Company|date=20 February 1949|location=Chicago, Illinois|pages=1–2}} 5. ^{{cite news|last=Lovelace|first=Douglas|title=Famed Flier Gatty Wants Fish Cannery|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=cZU0AAAAIBAJ&sjid=SWgFAAAAIBAJ&pg=7153,2789206&dq=vernon-huber&hl=en|accessdate=17 May 2010|newspaper=The Lewiston Daily Sun|date=2 August 1948|publisher=Lewiston Daily Sun|location=Lewiston, Maine|page=2}} 6. ^1 {{cite book|last=Sunia|first=Fofó Iosefa Fiti|title=The Story of the Legislature of American Samoa|year=1998|publisher=American Samoa Fono|isbn=982-9008-01-0|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=3pKOAAAAMAAJ&q=%22vernon+huber%22&dq=%22vernon+huber%22&ei=FHbgS4XjLJ_YMKGJse8K&cd=3|accessdate=17 May 2010|location=American Samoa|page=68|authorlink=Fofó Iosefa Fiti Sunia}} 7. ^{{cite news|title=Samoas to Get New Government|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=guorAAAAIBAJ&sjid=XmcFAAAAIBAJ&pg=1680,693218&dq=vernon-huber&hl=en|accessdate=|newspaper=Kentucky New Era|date=15 September 1948|author=Associated Press|location=Hopkinsville, Kentucky|page=5}} 9 : 1899 births|1967 deaths|People from Cass County, Illinois|Governors of American Samoa|United States Navy admirals|American military personnel of World War I|American naval personnel of World War II|United States Naval Academy alumni|Recipients of the Legion of Merit |
