Charles R. Thomas (1861-1931)
- Charles R. Thomas (1861-1931)
Charles Randolph Thomas (1861-1931), son of Charles R. Thomas (1827-1891), was a North Carolina attorney and politician. Like his father, he served as a U.S. Representative in Congress from North Carolina, but unlike his father, the younger Charles Thomas was a Democrat.
Thomas was born in Beaufort, North Carolina, August 21, 1861; attended New Bern (N.C.) Academy and Emerson Institute, Washington, D.C.; and was graduated from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1881. He studied law with his father and at the law school of Judges R.P. Dick and John H. Dillard at Greensboro, N.C. He was admitted to the bar in 1882 and commenced practice in New Bern, NC.
He was elected to a term in the North Carolina House of Representatives (1887) and served as county attorney for Craven County (1890-1896). The North Carolina legislature named him a trustee of the University of North Carolina in 1893. He was elected as a Democrat to the Fifty-sixth and to the five succeeding Congresses (serving March 4, 1899-March 3, 1911). Thomas did not run for re-election in 1910. He returned to the practice of law and was briefly a superior court judge. He died in Norfolk, Va., March 8, 1931.
