Thomas Settle (North Carolina, 53rd–54th Congress)

Thomas Settle (March 10, 1865 – January 20, 1919) was an American lawyer who served for two terms as a member of the U.S. House of Representatives from North Carolina from 1893 to 1897.

He attended the public schools and Georgetown University, studied law in Greensboro; was admitted to the bar in 1885 and commenced practice in Wentworth.

Settle was chairman of the Committee on Expenditures on Public Buildings during the Fifty-fourth Congress.

He resumed the practice of law in Asheville, N.C.; was appointed by the Department of Justice as special attorney to the United States Court of Customs in New York City in 1909, and served in that capacity until 1910.

Like his father before him, Settle ran unsuccessfully for Governor of North Carolina.
