Early life
Arthur Hay was born in Peterhead, Scotland on October 24, 1884.[1] He received his primary education at local schools in Edinburgh before immigrating to the United States through New York City in 1906.[1] Two years later he moved to Oregon where he enrolled at the University of Oregon School of Law.[1] There he earned an LL.B. degree in 1911.[1]
Legal career
After graduation Hay moved to Portland, Oregon where he practiced law until 1912 when he relocated to Southern Oregon and Klamath Falls.[1] In 1914, he married Edith M. Lawson, with whom he had three children together.[1] In 1915, they moved to neighboring Lakeview, Oregon, the county seat of Lake County.[1] There in 1925 Arthur Hay became the district attorney for the county, serving through the next year.[1] In 1933 Hay was appointed as state circuit court judge, and was twice re-elected.[1]
On November 28, 1942, he was appointed by Oregon Governor Charles A. Sprague to the Oregon Supreme Court to replace John L. Rand who had died in office.[2][3] Hay won election to a full six-year term on the court in 1944 with re-election to another term in 1950.[3] However, he did not finish the term and died in office on December 19, 1952.[3]
