Life


Born near Lough Garadice, County Leitrim, Ireland, Creamer immigrated to the United States and took up his residence in New York City. He attended the public schools, and became a shipping clerk in a dry-goods house in 1860. Then he studied law, was admitted to the bar, and practiced.


He was member of the New York State Assembly in 1865, 1866 (New York Co., 10th D.), and 1867 (New York Co., 14th D.).


He was a member of the New York State Senate from 1868 to 1871, sitting in the 91st, 92nd, 93rd and 94th New York State Legislatures.


He was a New York City Tax Commissioner for five years, and acted as counsel for State commissions to revise the tax laws.


Creamer was elected as a Democrat to the 43rd United States Congress, holding office from March 4, 1873, to March 3, 1875.


He was again a member of the State Assembly (New York Co., 14th D.) in 1889.


Creamer was elected to the 57th United States Congress, holding office from March 4, 1901, to March 3, 1903. Afterwards he resumed the practice of law in New York City, and died there August 4, 1914. He was interred in Green-Wood Cemetery.
