OSCAR HAYTER
Submitted by:  Lynn Mack 
 
Oscar HAYTER, a representative of the Oregon bar, practicing his 
profession at Dallas, has spent his entire life in this state.  He was 
born December 3, 1873, on a farm near Dallas, and is a son of Thomas 
J. HAYTER, an honored pioneer of Oregon and a representative of an old 
southern family.  The father was born February 8, 1830, in Franklin, 
Howard County, Missouri, and there attended school to the age of 
nineteen years, when he joined an expedition bound for California.  He 
was first employed as a teamster for a large concern, transporting hay 
from the Sacramento meadows to the various mining camps.  In August, 
1849, he engaged in mining on his own account, but in the fall of 1850 
sailed from San Francisco for Oregon, arriving in Portland at a time 
when it was but a small settlement with a few dwellings.  He at once 
made his way to Polk county, where he took up a donation claim, but 
disposed of this in 1852 and returned to Missouri with the intention 
of bringing his aged parents to Oregon.  But they were too frail to 
attempt the long journey and in 1854 he returned to this state, taking 
up his residence on a ranch three miles west of Dallas, where he 
engaged in stock raising.  In the fall of 1855 he volunteered for 
service in the Yakima Indian war and in the following year disposed of 
his stock ranch, locating on a small tract of agricultural land three 
miles east of Dallas, on which he resided for more than a quarter of a 
century, adding many improvements to his farm.  In 1884 he took up his 
abode in the town and there spent his remaining years, passing away on 
the 30th of October, 1918, at the age of eighty-eight years.  He 
occupied a position of prominence in his community and in 1876 was 
chosen to represent his district in the state legislature, where he 
rendered most valuable service.  He was a man of liberal culture, 
gained through judicious reading, and was largely instrumental in 
advancing the educational standards of the state, contributing 
substantially to the support of La Creole Academy and serving as a 
director of his local school distract.  In 1856 he wedded Miss Mary. 
I. EMBREE, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Carey D. EMBREE, and they became 
the parents of six children, namely: Eugene, who is vice president of 
the Dallas National Bank; Mark, a prominent dentist of Dallas; J. C., 
who is here engaged in merchandising; Oscar, the subject of this 
review; and Alice and Frank, both of whom are deceased. 
 
The son, Oscar HAYTER, attended the district schools of Polk county to 
the age of ten years and then became a pupil in the public schools of 
Dallas, subsequently pursuing a course in La Creole Academy at Dallas. 
Following his graduation from that institution he took up the study of 
law and while thus engaged also acted as compiler of abstracts for the 
Clackamas Abstract & Trust Company.  On the 9th of October, 1895, he 
was admitted to the bar and at once engaged in the practice of his 
profession, forming a partnership with Judge J. J. DALY of Dallas, an 
association which was maintained until 1900, since which time Mr. 
HAYTER has practiced alone.  Mr. HAYTER also has important business 
interests, being a stockholder and director of the Dallas National 
Bank and the Fuller Pharmacy, and has made investments in farm 
property, having fourteen acres devoted to the raising of cherries. 
 
On the 20th of July, 1904, Mr. HAYTER was united in marriage to Miss 
Bertha L. FULLER, daughter of Hon. W. V. and Eliza (STEWART) FULLER, 
residents of Dallas, where her father is prominent in timber 
investments and horticultural circles.  Mr. and Mrs. HAYTER became the 
parents of four children, of whom one died in infancy.  Those living 
are Elizabeth, Robert and Philip. 
 
Mr. HAYTER has also attained prominence in Masonic circles.  He was 
raised to the sublime degree of Master Mason in Jennings Lodge, No. 9, 
A. F. & A. M., of Dallas, March 13, 1896; was exalted to the august 
degree of Royal Arch Mason in Ainsworth Chapter, No. 17, R. A. M. of 
Dallas, May 27, 1897, and received the degree of Royal and Select 
Master in Hodson Council, No. 1, R. & S. M., of McMinnville, October 
28, 1897.  In the Scottish Rite Consistory the fourth to the 
thirteenth degrees inclusive were conferred upon him January 10, 1899; 
the fourteenth degree February 7, 1899, by Oregon Lodge of Perfection, 
No. 1; the fifteenth to eighteenth degrees inclusive were conferred 
upon him December 19, 1899, by Ainsworth Chapter, No. 1, of the Rose 
Croix, the nineteenth to twenty-ninth degrees inclusive, January 19, 
1900; the thirtieth degree was conferred upon him January 20, 1900, by 
Multnomah Preceptory, No. 1, Knights of Kadosh; the thirty-first and 
thirty-second degrees, January 20, 1900, by Oregon Consistory, No. 1, 
of Portland; and the thirty-third degree, honorary, January 17, 1920. 
He also received the degree of Christian Knighthood in De Molay 
Commandery, No. 5, K. T. of Salem, Oregon, November 4, 1909; and is a 
member of Al Kader Temple, A. A. O. N. M. S. having crossed the sands 
of the desert on the 20th of January, 1900.  He served as worshipful 
master of Jennings Lodge from 1898 to 1899 and from 1905 to 1906 and 
in the chapter he served as excellent high priest for six years, from 
1904 until 1910.  He was appointed grand master of the second veil in 
the grand Chapter of Oregon, June 12, 1905, and by regular advancement 
was elected grand high priest June 10, 1912. 
 
In his political views Mr. HAYTER is a democrat, active in support of 
the principles and candidates of the party.  Since 1913 he has been a 
member of the state board of legal examiners and in 1918-19 he served 
as president of the Oregon Bar Association.  He has been a member of 
the American Bar Association since 1908.
