George Holden Tinkham (October 29, 1870 – August 28, 1956) was a member of the United States House of Representatives from the state of Massachusetts.

Early years

Tinkham was born October 29, 1870, in Boston, Massachusetts,[1] to Frances Ann Holden and George Henry Tinkham, a produce dealer.Шаблон:Citation needed He graduated from Harvard College in 1894.[1]

Career

Tinkham served as a member of the Boston Common Council in 1897 and 1898.[1] After this first venture into politics he resumed his education at Harvard Law School. He was admitted to the bar in 1899 and commenced practice in Boston.[1] Tinkham returned to public office, serving as a member of the Boston Board of Aldermen from 1900 to 1902.[1][2][note 1]

Tinkham spent the next several years working as a lawyer. In 1910 he returned to public service, being elected as a member of the Massachusetts State Senate, where he served from 1910 to 1912.[1][2]

During World War I, he served in the military;[1] Tinkham would later tell Life magazine that while touring the front as a Congressman he fired the first American shot against the Austrians.[3]

Tinkham was elected as a Republican to the Sixty-fourth Congress and to the thirteen succeeding Congresses (March 4, 1915 – January 3, 1943).[1] During that time Tinkham was nicknamed "the conscience of the House" for his efforts to protect voting rights for African Americans,[2] in part by highlighting of the South's disproportionate representation in the House related to that region's voting population.[4]

Tinkham did not stand for renomination in 1942. He continued to practice law in Boston until his retirement; died in Cramerton, North Carolina, on August 28, 1956; interment in Forest Hills Cemetery in Boston.[1]

In his spare time, he went on safaris in Kenya.[3]
