Early yearsTinkham was born October 29, 1870, in Boston, Massachusetts,[1] to Frances Ann Holden and George Henry Tinkham, a produce dealer.{{citation needed|date=December 2012}} He graduated from Harvard College in 1894.[1] CareerTinkham served as a member of the Boston Common Council in 1897 and 1898.[1] After this first venture into politics he resumed his education at Harvard Law School. He was admitted to the bar in 1899 and commenced practice in Boston.[1] Tinkham returned to public office, serving as a member of the Boston Board of Aldermen from 1900 to 1902.[1][6][1] Tinkham spent the next several years working as a lawyer. In 1910 he returned to public service, being elected as a member of the Massachusetts State Senate, where he served from 1910 to 1912.[1][6] During World War I he served in the military;[1] Tinkham would later tell Life magazine that during his service he fired the first American shot against the Austrians.[11] Tinkham was elected as a Republican to the Sixty-fourth Congress and to the thirteen succeeding Congresses (March 4, 1915 – January 3, 1943).[1] During that time Tinkham was nicknamed "the conscience of the House" for his efforts to protect voting rights for African Americans,[6] in part by highlighting of the South's disproportionate representation in the House related to that region's voting population.[2] Tinkham did not stand for renomination in 1942. He continued to practice law in Boston until his retirement; died in Cramerton, North Carolina, August 28, 1956; interment in Forest Hills Cemetery in Boston.[1] In his spare time, he went on safaris in Kenya.[11] Notes1. ^The Boston Common Council and the Boston Board of Aldermen were later combined into the Boston City Council, following a rewrite of Boston's city charter. 2. ^{{cite web|title=Demands Inquiry on Disfranchising; Representative Tinkham Aims to Enforce 14th and 15th Articles of Constitution. |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1920/12/06/archives/demands-inquiry-on-disfranchising-representative-tinkham-aims-to.html|date=December 6, 1920 |publisher=The New York Times|accessdate=2012-12-08}} 3. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 {{CongBio|T000283|inline=1|date=2012-12-08}} 4. ^1 2 3 {{cite web| title=The Negroes' Temporary Farewell | url= http://baic.house.gov/historical-essays/essay.html?intID=5&intSectionID=30 |author= Office of History and Preservation, Office of the Clerk| work=Black Americans in Congress, 1870–2007 | year=2008 | accessdate= 2012-12-08}} 5. ^1 2 {{cite magazine| url= https://books.google.com/books?id=QEoEAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA69&lpg=PA69 | first= Will | last= Lang| authorlink= Will Lang, Jr. |date= December 16, 1940|title= Tinkham the Mighty Hunter |magazine=Life |volume= 9 |issue=25 |pages=69ff. |publisher= |issn= 0024-3019 |accessdate= 2012-12-08}} References{{reflist|refs=[3][4][5]}} External links
