Biography

Voorhies was born in Plymouth, Michigan on December 17, 1875.[1] He graduated from the University of Michigan in 1898 with a Bachelor of Letters degree and the University of Michigan Law School with a Bachelor of Laws in 1900.[2] He was admitted to the bar and practiced briefly in Erie County, New York before returning to Michigan and establishing himself as an attorney in Detroit.[3] In the 1910s Voorhies served in the Wayne County Prosecutor's office and advanced to Chief Deputy.[4]

A Republican, Voorhies won election as Wayne County Prosecutor in 1920 and 1922, serving from 1921 to 1925.[5]

In the late 1920s he was a Special Assistant Attorney General, working under Attorney General Wilber M. Brucker.[6] In 1930 Voorhies was the successful Republican nominee for Attorney General of Michigan, succeeding Brucker, and served from 1931 to 1933.[7]

Voorhies returned temporarily to the Wayne County Prosecutor's office in 1940, appointed after the incumbent had been removed on corruption charges.[8]

He died in Detroit on January 8, 1952, and was buried in Plymouth's Riverside Cemetery.[9]
