He attended public schools and was from 1910 to 1912 a student at Grove City College, Grove City. He then took up the study of law at the Law School of the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan, where he received the degree of Bachelor of Laws in 1915. Admitted to the Michigan bar, he practiced his profession in Detroit, for one year. At about that time the United States entered the World War, in April, 1917, whereupon Mr. Himes enlisted in the 45th Coast Artillery and served for four months overseas with the rank of ordnance sergeant. Upon his return to civilian life he came once more to Pennsylvania, where he was admitted to practice in 1922 and established himself at New Bethlehem. Here he actively engaged in his profession, representing some of his community's leading citizens and corporate interests with respect to their legal problems.
At the same time he interested himself extensively in public affairs, taking part in numerous civic and social activities. A Democrat in politics, he was elected to the Pennsylvania House of Representatives, at Harrisburg, in 1932, serving in the Assembly through 1933 and 1934. He was chairman of the national defense organization in New Bethlehem. He was president of the Lions Club, a past commander of the New Bethlehem Post of the American Legion, founder of the local branch of the "40 and 8," and a past secretary-treasurer of the New Bethlehem Camp of the Sons of Union Veterans and member of the Sons of the American Revolution. He was a trustee of the State Teachers' College, at Clarion, and through this affiliation participated extensively in educational advancement. He and his family belonged to the Presbyterian Church. Fraternally Mr. Himes was active in the Free and Accepted Masons and the Maccabees.
