Robert Thomas Teamoh (March 25, 1864 - 1912) was a newspaper reporter and state legislator in Massachusetts.[1][2][3] He was born in the state and lived in Brookline.[4]
In 1894 he married Julia Jackson.[5] He represented Ward 9. He was part of a delegation of legislators that visited Virginia. Charles Triplett O'Ferrall, Virginia's governor refused the meet with the delegation while Teamoh was part of it so he waited outside. This caused some outrage and protest in Massachusetts.[6]
He was succeeded in office by William L. Reed.[6] He was a known Freemason and worked for the Boston Globe for over 20 years.[7]
