Burrel B. Hailey, who resides upon a well improved and valuable ranch just to the northwest of Boise, his place being situated a mile north of the Soldiers Home, was born in southern Oregon but has spent practically his entire life in Idaho, most of the time near Boise. His birth occurred October 17, 1867, his father being "Uncle" John Hailey, Idaho's honored pioneer citizen, who is the
secretary of the Idaho State Historical Society and author of Hailey's History of Idaho. He had become a resident of this state in 1862 and he and his wife were living in Idaho at the time of the birth of their son Burrel, but the
mother was temporarily in Oregon when he first opened his eyes to the light of day. He was brought to Idaho, however, when but six months old and through the intervening period has lived in or near Boise.
In young manhood Mr. Hailey learned the butcher's trade and conducted a meat market and engaged in the butchering business in Boise for many years. About fifteen years ago he purchased his present ranch property, comprising thirty-one acres a mile north of the Soldiers Home. It was then a tract of wild land, largely covered with sagebrush, and is now a well improved property on which stands a modern stucco bungalow, constituting one of the attractive farm homes of this section of the state. There is also a one hundred and thirty ton silo upon his place, a large barn and other good outbuildings, together with an excellent orchard. Since taking up his abode upon this property Mr. Hailey has specialized in dairying, having a number of high grade Jersey cows and also some registered cattle of other grades. His herd is headed by a registered bull. In his herd he now has a cow that is a half-sister of the grand champion Jersey cow, whose uncle was the champion bull of the 1919 National Dairy Show of Chicago. The progressive spirit of Mr. Hailey is indicated in the fact that he built the first silo in the Boise valley and at all times he has been found in the vanguard of progress and improvement. In the years which have passed he has won more premiums on fine Jersey cattle at the Idaho State Fairs than any other
exhibitor and in 1916 won the grand championship on a Jersey bull. He has done much by precept and example to improve the grade of stock raised in this section of the country and he is Justly accounted one of the foremost ranchmen of Idaho.
At Boise, on the 9th of December, 1886, Mr. Hailey, then but nineteen years of age, was united in marriage to Miss Anna Laura Walker, who was born in Boise, April 21, 1867, the daughter of S. H. Walker, one of the pioneers of this city, who was well known as the owner of a sawmill and as a dealer in lumber. He was also at one time assessor of Ada county. Mr. and Mrs. Hailey have had three children, Laura, Leota and Burrel, Jr., but all have passed away, the two
daughters dying when about twelve years of age and the son in infancy.
Mr. Hailey gives his political allegiance to the democratic party but has no desire for political office as a reward for party fealty. He concentrates his efforts and attention upon his business affairs and through the progressive
methods which he has ever followed he has carried forward the work instituted by his father in connection with the pioneer development of Idaho. He is himself a valued and prominent citizen, and father and son have made the name of Hailey a synonym for all that has been most worthwhile in the upbuilding and progress of the state.
