Timothy Crane Day (January 8, 1819 – April 15, 1869) was a U.S. Representative from Ohio.
Born in Cincinnati, Ohio, Day attended the public schools. Day worked as a printer and engraver from 1838 to 1840. When his older brother died in 1850, he took his job as one of the editors and proprietors of the Cincinnati Enquirer.[1] He disposed of his interests in the paper in 1852 and subsequently toured Europe.
Day was elected as an Opposition Party candidate to the Thirty-fourth Congress (March 4, 1855 – March 3, 1857). Day ran as an Anti-Nebraska, or anti-slavery, candidate.[2] He declined renomination in 1856 because of ill health and retired from active business. Day endowed the Ohio Mechanics Institute toward establishing a permanent library.[1] When this library closed, the bequest was transferred to the University of Cincinnati's College of Applied Science in 1911 and bears his name as the Timothy C. Day Technical Library.[3] He died in Cincinnati, Ohio, April 15, 1869. He was interred in Spring Grove Cemetery.
