Herman Lehlbach (July 3, 1845 – January 11, 1904) was an American Republican Party politician who represented New Jersey's 6th congressional district in the United States House of Representatives for three terms from 1885 to 1891.
He was the uncle of Frederick R. Lehlbach, who also represented Newark, New Jersey, in Congress from 1915 to 1937.[1]
Early life
[edit | edit source]Lehlbach was born in Heiligkreuzsteinach in the Grand Duchy of Baden, which later became part of the German Empire.[2] He immigrated to the United States in 1851 with his parents, who settled in Newark, New Jersey.[2] He attended public school.[2]
Career
[edit | edit source]Lehlbach became a civil engineer,[2] and was a sheriff of Essex County, New Jersey, for three years.[3] He served as member of the New Jersey General Assembly from 1884 to 1886.[2]
In 1891, he ran unsuccessfully for mayor of Newark, New Jersey, against Joseph Haynes.[4] Lehlbach petitioned for a recount, but was denied.[4]
Lehlbach was elected as a Republican to the Forty-ninth, Fiftieth, and Fifty-first Congresses, serving in office from March 4, 1885, to March 3, 1891, but was not a candidate for renomination in 1890.[2]
Later career and death
[edit | edit source]After leaving Congress, he resumed the practice of his profession as a civil engineer in Newark, and was Sheriff of Essex County, New Jersey, from 1893 to 1896.[2][3]
He died in Newark, on January 11, 1904, due to kidney problems.[3][2] He was interred in Fairmount Cemetery in Newark.[2]
