Frederic C. Dumaine Jr., a former state Republican leader and railroad magnate who forged a reputation as a determined battler on the political and industrial fronts, died March 13 in his home in Weston. He was 94.
Mr. Dumaine, who was known as Buck, was the director of the Boston- based Amoskeag Co., once the world's largest textile manufacturing firm. He also was a former president of the New Haven Railroad.
