Hines, H. K. "An Illustrated History of the State of Oregon." Chicago: Lewis Pub. Co. 1893. p. 279. THOMAS G. HAILEY The subject of this sketch, was born in la Grande, Union county, Oregon, July 13, 1865, and is the fourth child in a family of six children of the Hon. John Hailey and Louisa M. Hailey, nee Griffin. He comes of the pioneer stock of the State, his father having crossed the plains in 1852, and his mother in company with her father and family , having come to the State in 1848 after a perilous journey across the plains, and settled in southern Oregon. During his infancy Mr. Hailey's parents removed to Boise City, Idaho, where he grew to manhood, and where his father was engaged in staging, stock-raising and divers other pursuits for several years, and was also a member of the Territorial Legislature and twice a delegate to Congress as a Democrat from the Territory of Idaho. After attending the public schools of his adopted town he decided upon the law as a profession in his early manhood, and entered the law office of Cox & Minor, in Pendleton, Oregon, where he remained for a time, and then entered Washington and Lee University at Lexington, Virginia, where he spent two years in the literary department and two years in the law school, from which latter he graduated in 1889, and at once returned to his native State and began the practice of his profession in Pendleton, Oregon, where he now resides and is a member of the law firm of Hailey & Lowell, enterprising and energetic young lawyers, whose business is constantly increasing. Shortly after his return to Pendleton he was appointed Clerk of the Supreme Court of the State for the Eastern District holding terms at Pendleton, which position he still holds and has filled with satisfaction to the bar and public. In July, 1892, he was married to Miss Maud L. Beach, of Ackley, Iowa. He is thoroughly identified with the social, business and all other interests of his town, and zealous in the promotion of its prosperity. Devoted to his profession and impressed with its dignity and importance he studiously pursues his way, and with his strong personality and mental energy cannot fail to impress himself forcibly upon his generation.
