Thomas Raines

Thomas Raines

Thomas Raines (August 13, 1842 Canandaigua, Ontario County, New York - August 12, 1924 Rochester, Monroe County, New York) was an American lawyer and politician.

Life

He was the son of John Raines (b. 1818 in Hull).

He was New York State Treasurer from 1872 to 1875, elected on the Republican ticket in 1871, and re-elected as a Liberal Republican on the Democratic ticket in 1873. In May 1874, he suffered a nervous breakdown and was described in the press as a "raving lunatic", being "stark mad", and suffering from "religious frenzy". He was declared incapacitated, and sent to the Utica State Asylum for treatment. On June 1, Abraham Lansing was appointed Treasurer by Governor John Adams Dix, pending Raines's recovery or a decision by the State Legislature which would convene only next January. After recovering his mental health, Raines was reinstated to the Treasury by Governor Dix on August 19, 1874.

He was admitted to the bar in 1879, and became a special county judge of Monroe County in 1883.

In 1911, he was President of the Monroe County Bar Association.

His brother was U.S. Representative John Raines, the author of the Raines law.
