FRANK S. BAYLEY is a native of New York and was born in 1874.  His early
educational training was had in the Denver public schools.  following this he
attended Harvard, from which he graduated in 1897 with the A. B. degree.
Three years later from the same university he took his LL. B. degree, and from
that time until 1904 he came to Seattle and the following year was a member of
the law firm of Herr & Bayley.  In 1906 the firm was changed to Herr, Bayley &
Wilson, and so continued until 1917.  In 1918 the firm became Herr, Bayley &
Croson, as it exists at the writing.  No man in Seattle takes more real civic
pride in the city's development than Mr. Bayley.  As a result of the high
standard which in early life he set for himself, Mr. Bayley enjoys the respect
and esteem of all woth whom he comes in contact.  While he, like all highly
successful attorneys, prefers keeping his clients out of litigation, he has
always made it a point that once a matter enters court, he neither asks nor
gives quarter, maintaining rigidly the rights of his client.  His standing as
a lawyer is of the best.  His cases are well prepared prior to entering trial,
every angle having been thoroughly looked into.  I doubt if any lawyer on the
coast is capable of preparing a better brief than Mr. Bayley.  As a result of
his open and above board policy of practicing law, his attitude in the courts
and his broad mindedness, he enjoys the confidence of his colleagues as well
as the judiciary.  In 1901 Mr. Bayley married Miss Mary Bass, and the couple
have three children, two boys and one firl.  Mr. Bayley is a member of the
College club, Inglewood Country club, Delta Upsilon fraternity, Chamber of
Commerce and the county, state and national bar associations.
