Rawlings was born on March 8, 1883, in Franklin, Illinois, to parents John H. Rawlings and Martha K. Seymour.[1][2] He graduated DePauw University in 1908, and married Lucy I. Gammell later that year.[1][2] The Rawlings family moved from Illinois to Rhode Island in 1913,[3] a year after Rawlings and his wife had acquired the Lillibridge Plantation from Albert and Susie Watson.[4][5] His son Rob Roy Rawlings and daughter Lucy Rawlings Tootell also served in government.[6]

Rawlings, a Republican,[7] was a member of the Rhode Island House of Representatives between 1923 and 1934, and served as speaker of the Rhode Island House from 1927 to 1933.[1] He won the speakership when Democratic lawmakers crossed the floor to vote for him.[8]

Rawlings was a stage actor and tax assessor before serving in the Rhode Island House.[1][9] He lived in Richmond and later West Kingston.[10][11]

After concluding his time as house speaker, Rawlings purchased the Wood River Branch Railroad in 1937 for $301.[12] He served as president until the line ceased operations in 1947.[13]
