<DIV><B><FONT size=4>OSCAR HAYTER<BR>Submitted by: Lynn Mack</FONT></B>
</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Oscar HAYTER, a representative of the Oregon bar, practicing his </DIV>
<DIV>profession at Dallas, has spent his entire life in this
state. He was </DIV>
<DIV>born December 3, 1873, on a farm near Dallas, and is a son of Thomas </DIV>
<DIV>J. HAYTER, an honored pioneer of Oregon and a representative of an old
</DIV>
<DIV>southern family. The father was born February 8, 1830, in
Franklin, </DIV>
<DIV>Howard County, Missouri, and there attended school to the age of </DIV>
<DIV>nineteen years, when he joined an expedition bound for
California. He </DIV>
<DIV>was first employed as a teamster for a large concern, transporting hay
</DIV>
<DIV>from the Sacramento meadows to the various mining camps. In
August, </DIV>
<DIV>1849, he engaged in mining on his own account, but in the fall of 1850
</DIV>
<DIV>sailed from San Francisco for Oregon, arriving in Portland at a time </DIV>
<DIV>when it was but a small settlement with a few dwellings. He at
once </DIV>
<DIV>made his way to Polk county, where he took up a donation claim, but </DIV>
<DIV>disposed of this in 1852 and returned to Missouri with the intention </DIV>
<DIV>of bringing his aged parents to Oregon. But they were too frail
to </DIV>
<DIV>attempt the long journey and in 1854 he returned to this state, taking
</DIV>
<DIV>up his residence on a ranch three miles west of Dallas, where he </DIV>
<DIV>engaged in stock raising. In the fall of 1855 he volunteered for
</DIV>
<DIV>service in the Yakima Indian war and in the following year disposed of
</DIV>
<DIV>his stock ranch, locating on a small tract of agricultural land three
</DIV>
<DIV>miles east of Dallas, on which he resided for more than a quarter of a
</DIV>
<DIV>century, adding many improvements to his farm. In 1884 he took
up his </DIV>
<DIV>abode in the town and there spent his remaining years, passing away on
</DIV>
<DIV>the 30th of October, 1918, at the age of eighty-eight years. He
</DIV>
<DIV>occupied a position of prominence in his community and in 1876 was </DIV>
<DIV>chosen to represent his district in the state legislature, where he </DIV>
<DIV>rendered most valuable service. He was a man of liberal culture,
</DIV>
<DIV>gained through judicious reading, and was largely instrumental in </DIV>
<DIV>advancing the educational standards of the state, contributing </DIV>
<DIV>substantially to the support of La Creole Academy and serving as a </DIV>
<DIV>director of his local school distract. In 1856 he wedded Miss
Mary. </DIV>
<DIV>I. EMBREE, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Carey D. EMBREE, and they became
</DIV>
<DIV>the parents of six children, namely: Eugene, who is vice president of
</DIV>
<DIV>the Dallas National Bank; Mark, a prominent dentist of Dallas; J. C.,
</DIV>
<DIV>who is here engaged in merchandising; Oscar, the subject of this </DIV>
<DIV>review; and Alice and Frank, both of whom are deceased. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The son, Oscar HAYTER, attended the district schools of Polk county to
</DIV>
<DIV>the age of ten years and then became a pupil in the public schools of
</DIV>
<DIV>Dallas, subsequently pursuing a course in La Creole Academy at Dallas.
</DIV>
<DIV>Following his graduation from that institution he took up the study of
</DIV>
<DIV>law and while thus engaged also acted as compiler of abstracts for the
</DIV>
<DIV>Clackamas Abstract & Trust Company. On the 9th of October,
1895, he </DIV>
<DIV>was admitted to the bar and at once engaged in the practice of his </DIV>
<DIV>profession, forming a partnership with Judge J. J. DALY of Dallas, an
</DIV>
<DIV>association which was maintained until 1900, since which time Mr. </DIV>
<DIV>HAYTER has practiced alone. Mr. HAYTER also has important
business </DIV>
<DIV>interests, being a stockholder and director of the Dallas National </DIV>
<DIV>Bank and the Fuller Pharmacy, and has made investments in farm </DIV>
<DIV>property, having fourteen acres devoted to the raising of cherries. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>On the 20th of July, 1904, Mr. HAYTER was united in marriage to Miss </DIV>
<DIV>Bertha L. FULLER, daughter of Hon. W. V. and Eliza (STEWART) FULLER, </DIV>
<DIV>residents of Dallas, where her father is prominent in timber </DIV>
<DIV>investments and horticultural circles. Mr. and Mrs. HAYTER
became the </DIV>
<DIV>parents of four children, of whom one died in infancy. Those
living </DIV>
<DIV>are Elizabeth, Robert and Philip. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Mr. HAYTER has also attained prominence in Masonic circles. He
was </DIV>
<DIV>raised to the sublime degree of Master Mason in Jennings Lodge, No. 9,
</DIV>
<DIV>A. F. & A. M., of Dallas, March 13, 1896; was exalted to the august
</DIV>

<DIV>Dallas, May 27, 1897, and received the degree of Royal and Select </DIV>
<DIV>Master in Hodson Council, No. 1, R. & S. M., of McMinnville, October

</DIV>
<DIV>thirteenth degrees inclusive were conferred upon him January 10, 1899;
</DIV>

</DIV>
<DIV>He also received the degree of Christian Knighthood in De Molay </DIV>

<DIV> </DIV>

</DIV>
<DIV>the principles and candidates of the party. Since 1913 he has
been a </DIV>
<DIV>member of the state board of legal examiners and in 1918-19 he served
</DIV>
