Leonidas C. Dyer

Leonidas C. Dyer

Leonidas Carstarphen Dyer (June 11 1871 December 15 1957) was an American politician who served as a Republican Representative from Missouri from 1911 to 1933. He proposed the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill. He was in Congress from the 62nd Congress to the 72nd Congress. His time in Congress was briefly interrupted between 1914 and 1915 due to a dispute over his 1912 election results, but he was reelected in 1914.

Dyer was born in Warren County, Missouri. He attended Washington University in Saint Louis and became a lawyer. He served in combat during the Spanish-American War in 1898. His long career in Congress ended when he was defeated for reelection in 1932. He ran unsuccessfully for reelection in 1934 and 1936, and then retired from politics. He died in Saint Louis, Missouri.
