Short Senate terms
On the list of shortest terms in the U.S. Senate, there are six from Nebraska who should be on your list. Four of them were for the same seat between December 1951 and December 1954, and another was for Nebraska's other Senate seat in 1954. The final one was in 1987-1989:

Fred Seaton, appointed 12/10/1951 upon the death of Senator Kenneth Wherry; did not seek election in 1952. Served 330 days. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fred_A._Seaton

Dwight Griswold, elected 11/5/1952 to fill remainder of Kenneth Wherry's term; died in office 4/12/1954. Served 523 days. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dwight_Griswold

Eva Bowring, appointed 4/16/1954 following death of Dwight Griswold; did not seek election in 1954. Served 205 days. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eva_Bowring

Hazel Abel, elected 11/8/1954 to serve final two months of Wherry's 1948 term; resigned 12/31/1954. Served 53 days. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hazel_Abel

Samuel Reynolds, appointed 7/3/1954 upon the death of Senator Hugh Butler; did not seek election to remainder of Butler's term in 1954. Served 127 days. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samuel_W._Reynolds

David Karnes, appointed March 11, 1987 upon the death of Senator Ed Zorinsky; defeated for election to a full term in 1988, served until January 3, 1989. Served 664 days. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Karnes

Oddity: in the general election of November 1954, Nebraska elected three senators - Hazel Able, to fill the remaining two months of Kenneth Wherry's term; Roman Hruska, elected to fill the remaining four years of Hugh Butler's 1952 term; and Carl Curtis, elected for a full term in what had been Wherry's seat.
