Thomas Euclid Rains (November 24, 1920[1] – August 27, 2000) was an American politician. He served as a Democratic member for the 26th district of the Alabama House of Representatives.[2][3][4]
Rain was born in DeKalb County, Alabama,[5] the son of Annie Ruth Slate and Thomas Rains. At the age of five, Rains became blind after an accident that involved scissors, causing damage to his left eye.[5] He was diagnosed with sympathetic ophthalmia in the right eye at the age of seven.[5][6]
Rains attended at the Alabama Institute for the Deaf and Blind, from which he graduated in 1941.[5][7] He then attended Jacksonville State University, graduating in 1944.[5] Rains's decision to attend the university came after his mother read newspaper articles to him.[8]
After college, Rains started a manufacturing business.[5]
In 1978, Rains was elected to represent the 26th district in the Alabama House of Representatives,[5] succeeding Hinton Mitchem. In 1990, Rains decided not to run for re-election.[2]
Rains wrote a memoir about his young years titled I'm Not Afraid of the Dark.[5][9]
Rains died in August 2000 of a single-vehicle collision next to his home in Geraldine, Alabama, along with his wife, Nell.[2] He was 79 at the time.[2]
