Benjamin Harrison HAILE, of Montgomery, was born 26 December 1846 in
Montgomery [Franklin County, Vermont], son of Nathan and Mary Ann (TARBELL)
HAILE. The family of HAILE came from Scotland to Rhode Island at an early
day in the colonial period. Nathan HAILE was an early settler in Montgomery,
a farmer and lumberman. Benjamin HAILE was the fourth child of a family of
five, and was born on the farm where he now resides. He received his
education in the schools of Montgomery. Early inured to the labor of the
farm, he developed a sturdy physique and unusual executive ability, and from
the time of his arrival at man's estate has taken charge of all the business
appertaining to his father's farm and also of other properties which he has
purchased from time to time. In the winter he devotes his attention to
lumbering. In every calling he has met with merited success. He was largely
instrumental in establishing a cooperative creamery at Montgomery.
Republican; has filled many public positions. In his native town, composed
largely of a foreign element, his wise counsel and prudent advice have been
influential and beneficial in the management of public affairs; was a useful
member of the House of Representatives in 1888; has been county commissioner.
In 1880 Mr. [Benjamin Harrison] HAILE married Hattie, daughter of A. P. and
Harriet (RAWSON) RICHARDSON; their children are: John Rawson, and Clarence
Hamilton.
