John L. Blake

John Lauris Blake (March 25, 1831, Boston, Massachusetts - October 10, 1899, West Orange, New Jersey) was an American Republican Party politician who represented New Jersey's 6th congressional district in the United States House of Representatives from 1879 to 1881.

Blake was born in Boston, Massachusetts on March 25, 1831. He received a classical education and moved to Orange, New Jersey in 1846. He studied law, was admitted to the bar in 1852 and commenced practice in Orange. He was a member of the New Jersey General Assembly in 1857, and was a delegate to the 1876 Republican National Convention.

Blake was elected as a Republican to the Forty-sixth Congress, serving in office from March 4, 1879 to March 3, 1881, but declined to be a candidate for renomination in 1880.

After leaving Congress, he resumed the practice of his profession in Orange, and became president of the Citizens' Gas Light Co. of Newark, New Jersey, in 1893. He died in West Orange, New Jersey on October 10, 1899, and was interred in Rosedale Cemetery in Orange.
