Representative Joseph Hendrix Himes

Joseph Hendrix Himes (born August 15, 1885) was a Republican politician who represented the state of Ohio in the United States House of Representatives. He served as the member for Ohio’s 16th Congressional District during the early 1920s, participating in national legislative affairs at a time of post–World War I adjustment and domestic political change.

Himes held the office of Representative from April 11, 1921, to March 3, 1923, completing a single term in Congress. During this period, he served as a historical member of Congress from Ohio, aligned with the Republican Party. While specific committee assignments, legislative initiatives, and later career details are not provided in the available record, his tenure from 1921 to 1923 places him among the cohort of early twentieth-century lawmakers who helped shape federal policy in the years immediately following the war.
