Frederick Landis

Born in Ohio on August 18, 1872, and raised in Logansport, Indiana, Frederick Landis studied law at the University of Michigan and began practicing in Indiana in the 1890s. He also became active in local journalism and public life, building a career that blended legal work, newspaper editing, and politics.

Landis served two terms in the U.S. House of Representatives for Indiana in the early 1900s. After his time in Congress, he remained known not only as a lawyer and public figure but also as an author and editor, showing a range that was unusual even in his era.

He died on November 15, 1934. Remembered today as more than a politician, he stands out as a figure who brought together civic service, newspaper work, and literary ambition.
