Jay M. Parrish, a member of the Boise bar. practicing successfully in this city since 1913, save for the period of his connection with the United States navy during the World war, was born at Kearney, Nebraska, August 15, 1891, his parents being Thomas J. and Letty (Megran) Parrish, who are still living at Kearney, the father being a retired merchant.
Jay M. Parrish was graduated from the Kearney high school, and in June. 1913, was graduated from the University of Colorado, after five years devoted to study in that institution, which brought to him the LL. B. degree. He then came to Boise, where he at once entered upon the practice of law and has since devoted his attention to the interests of his clients save from the 12th of June, 1918, until the 1st of March, 1919, when he wore the navy uniform and was numbered among the sailors of the U. S. N. From 1913 until 1915 he had filled the office of assistant county attorney of Ada county and in his practice he has made for himself a creditable place as a representative of the Boise bar. He is associated with B. W. Oppenheim and J. M. Lampert. He belongs to the Idaho State Bar Association and enjoys the respect and good will of his colleagues in the profession.
On the 27th of December, 1915, Mr. Parrish was married in Boise to Miss Ethel Elizabeth Ploeger, formerly of Burley, Idaho, but a native of Guthrie, Oklahoma. In politics Mr. Parrish is a republican but has never held office other than the one mentioned. He has, however, been prominent in the public life of the community. He compiled the road laws, corporation laws and the general election laws of Idaho during 1919. He is the president of the Boise Automobile Trade Association and is chairman of the membership committee of the Boise Chamber of Commerce. Fraternally he is an Elk and a Master Mason, and his religious faith is that of the Episcopal church. He also belongs to John M. Regan Post of the American Legion at Boise and is a member of the executive committee of the Idaho branch of the American Legion. He is thoroughly in sympathy with the purposes of this organization to "carry on" and promote the work of the soldiers of the World war by advocating Americanization and emphasizing the high ideals of democracy.
