Early life

Doremus was born in Venango County, Pennsylvania on August 31, 1865, the son of Sylvester and Sarah Peake Doremus.[1][2] The Doremus family moved to Ovid, Michigan in 1866, and then to Portland, Michigan in 1872. [2] Frank Doremus attended the public schools of Portland, Michigan and graduated from Detroit College of Law.[1]

In 1882, Doremus began work at the Portland Observer, then moved on to take charge of the Pewamo Plain Dealer[2] and established the Portland Review in 1885, editing it until 1899.[1]

Doremus married Libby Hatley in 1890.[2] The couple had one child, Robert.[3]

Politics

Doremus was postmaster of Portland from 1895 to 1899.[1] He was elected township clerk in 1888 and re-elected in 1889.[2] In 1890, Doremus was elected to the Michigan House of Representatives from Ionia County 1st District serving from 1890 to 1892.[1]

He was admitted to the bar and commenced practice in Detroit in 1899.[1] He was assistant corporation counsel of Detroit from 1903 to 1907 and city comptroller 1907-1910.[1]

In 1910, Doremus defeated incumbent Republican Edwin C. Denby to be elected as a Democrat from Michigan's 1st congressional district to the Sixty-second and to the four succeeding Congresses, serving from March 4, 1911 to March 3, 1921,[1] and was elected chair of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee in 1913.[4] He was a delegate to Democratic National Convention from Michigan in 1916 and 1920. He served as mayor of Detroit in 1923 until he resigned the following year due to ill-health.[1][5]
