Person

Biographical:

Born in Arthur, Missouri, on July 26, 1886, George B. Schwabe was a graduate of the public schools of Pettis County, Missouri. In 1910 he received a law degree from the University of Missouri, was admitted to the bar, and began his practice of law in Columbia, Missouri. A year later, he moved to Nowata, Oklahoma, and served in a variety of elected positions in that city. From 1919 to 1922, Schwabe represented Nowata County in the Oklahoma House of Representatives. He served as Speaker of the Oklahoma House from 1921-1922. Schwabe was the only Republican to hold this office until Todd Hiett became Speaker in January 2005. After leaving the Legislature in 1922, Schwabe moved to Tulsa where he established his law practice and became active in the state and national Republican parties. In 1944, he was elected from Oklahoma's First District to the U.S. House of Representatives. He served from 1945-1949. Reelected in 1950, he served from 1951 until his death on April 2, 1952. While a member of Congress, Schwabe served on the Appropriations Committee and was the ranking Republican on the Subcommittee for Labor and Federal Security. He was a very cautious, conservative, and economy-minded anti-New-Dealer, who strove to reduce government spending.
