Timeline

1900

Edward J. Jeffries Jr. (April 3, 1900 – April 2, 1950) was an American politician, councilman, and mayor of Detroit.

Edward Jeffries was born in Detroit, Michigan, on April 3, 1900, the son of Judge Edward J. Jeffries and Minnie Stott Jeffries.

The elder Jeffries was an alderman, a police justice, and a long-serving judge on the Recorder's Court.

He had run unsuccessfully for mayor multiple times, seeing himself as a representative of the underclass, and instilled in the younger Jeffries a sense of civic responsibility.

1920

The younger Jeffries attended the Detroit Public Schools and the University of Michigan, receiving a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Michigan in 1920 and a law degree from the University of Michigan Law School in 1923.

1923

He then continued his education at Lincoln's Inn in London in 1923 and 1924, studying Roman and British common law.

After his tour in Europe, Jeffries returned to Detroit to take up law practice.

1929

In 1929, he became general counsel for Royal Maccabees Insurance, a position he held until his death in 1950.

1930

In 1930, Jeffries married Florence O. Bell.

1932

Jeffries ran for Detroit City Council in 1932, and served on that body for four terms, from 1932 until 1940, serving the last two as City Council president.

While serving on the council, Jeffries came under the influence of long-time councilman John C. Lodge.

Jeffries was already more moderate in stance than his radical father, eager to work within the existing power structure, and Lodge, who shared a similar outlook, was a natural ally.

1939

In 1939, Jeffries ran for mayor of Detroit against Richard Reading as an economically conservative, socially responsible reformer.

Reading, enmeshed in an enormous corruption scandal that eventually sent him to jail, lost the election by more than two-to-one.

1940

He ran for election as mayor four more times, winning the next three to serve as mayor from 1940 to 1948.

1943

Jeffries bid for a fifth term was unsuccessful because of his unpopularity in the wake of the 1943 race riot, and he lost to councilman Eugene Van Antwerp.

1950

Jeffries was elected once more to serve on the City Council, beginning in 1950, but died in office.

Edward Jeffries suffered a heart attack on March 18, 1950, while on vacation in Miami Beach, Florida.

He died shortly thereafter on April 2, 1950, a day short of his 50th birthday.

The section of I-96 in Livonia and Detroit is named in Jeffries' honor.
