HON. JAMES F. AILSHIE. True merit wins the race. It is pleasant to trace the successful career of a man of ability and sagacity and we greet with zest the opportunity to recount the salient points in the life of the well known and highly respected gentleman, whose name initiates this paragraph.
James F. Ailshie was born in Greene county. Tennessee, on June 19, 1868, the son of George W. and . Martha (Knight) Ailshie. The father, a farmer, was born in Kentucky. His parents were natives of Tennessee, his mother being descended from Pennsylvania Dutch and his grandfather from Scotch extraction. George W. Ailshie. who was in the Fourth Tennessee Infantry, received a wound in the shoulder and had one finger shot off. He was in the siege of Vicksburg and saw much hard service. The mother was born in Tennessee and died on October 11; 1901. Her ancestors were natives of the same state for some generations back. Her father served in the Civil war and fell a victim to disease contracted in that service. Her mother still lives. Our subject grew up in his native state and after the common school training, took a full course in the Carson & Newman College, coming west in 1887, he took the degree of Ph. B. Then Mr. Ailshie entered the law school of the Willamette university and completed that course. In 1891 he opened an office in Pendleton immediately upon taking his de- gree. Shortly afterward, Mr. Ailshie seeing the ad- vantages of Grangeville, came hither and openeed an office. This has been his residence since, where he at once took his proper position as a leading member of society and a prominent man in the business realm. He was appointed regent of the state university when the buildings were being erected and proved himself invaluable to the interests of that institution. Mr. Ailshie has always been the head of the minority party, the Republican, in his county and has always been in attendance on the conventions. He was a delegate to the National Republican convention in Philadelphia in 1900 and participated in the nomination of McKinley and Roosevelt. In 1902 the party placed his name in nomination for the supreme bench of the state and a handsome majority in his favor testified the people's pleasure at the polls. Judge Ailshie has taken his position with a preparation and dignity that becomes a man of deep erudition, manifest talent and complete fitness for the responsibilities of this most important office of the state. He still retains his home and interests in Grangeville and in addition to his town property he has various farm interests.
"In 1894 occurred the marriage of Judge Ailshie and Miss Lucie, daughter of Rev. J. B. and Angeline Bundren. The parents are of French extraction and the father is a noted preacher of the Baptist denomination, in Tennessee. The wedding occurred in Spokane and Mrs. Ailshie was born in Dandridge, Jefferson county, Tennessee, in 1868 and was well educated in the Newman seminary at Mosey creek. She has one brother and two sisters: William, Vallie, Virginia. Judge Ailshie has the following brothers and sisters: Stephen A., Andrew, Ernest, Alice Haun, Arnie Haun, Lilly Bible, Laura. Jessie. Two children have been born to this union : Lucile and Jammie F. The Judge affiliates with the I. O. O. F., has been through all the chairs and is also a member of the grand lodge. He also belongs to the W. W. and he and his wife are adherents of the Presbyterian church. Judge Ailshie is also president of the Grangeville Electric Company.
