Edward L. Stokes

Edward L. Stokes

Edward Lowber Stokes (September 29, 1880 – November 8, 1964) was a Republican member of the U.S. House of Representatives from Pennsylvania.

Edward L. Stokes was born in Philadelphia, PA. He graduated from St. Paul’s School, Concord, NH. He was employed as a clerk for a trust company and later engaged as an investment dealer. He was an unsuccessful candidate for election to the Pennsylvania House of Representatives in 1930.

Stokes was elected as a Republican to the 72nd Congress in 1931 to fill the vacancy caused by the death of George S. Graham and served until 1935. He was not a candidate for renomination because he was a gubernatorial candidate in 1934. He was again a candidate for Congress in 1950, and a candidate for mayor and councilman at large in 1952. He remained engaged in investment banking until his retirement in 1955.
