- ^ Samuel M. Stephenson previously represented the 11th district
- ^ H. Olin Young presented credentials as a Member-elect to the Sixty-third Congress and served from March 4, 1913, until his resignation, effective May 16, 1913, while a contest for the seat was pending. Due to a mistake in how the name of William Josiah MacDonald appeared on the ballot in Ontonagon County some votes were not included in the official count by the state board of canvassers, even though their inclusion in unofficial returns showed MacDonald had won. Subsequently, the House Committee on Elections unanimously reported a resolution to the full house awarding the 12th District seat to MacDonald, who took the oath of office August 26, 1913.
- ^ James G. O'Hara previously represented the 7th district
- ^ David Bonior later represented the 10th district
- ^ Sander Levin previously represented the 17th district
District boundaries were redrawn in 1993, and 2003 due to reapportionment following the censuses of 1990 and 2000.
