P. C. HALEY. 

This gentleman, although still a young man, has a fine reputation as a member 
of the legal profession and a citizen of whose worth no one is in doubt. He 
was born in Saranac, Clinton County, N. Y., March 17, 1849, and with his 
parents came to Will County, Ill., in 1851. He attended the public schools and 
added to his store of learning by a course of study in the University of Notre 
Dame, at South Bend, Ind. He then read law with T. L. Breckenridge, of Joliet, 
and took a complete law course in the University, at Ann Arbor, Mich., from 
which he was graduated in 1871. The same year Mr. Haley was admitted to the 
bar and immediately began practice soon having a large and lucrative business. 
He is a clear thinker, a close student into the details of a case, a logical 
pleader and has the keen wit and commanding presence that go far to secure the 
attention of counselors and jurymen. His ability attracted attention and he 
was elected City Attorney, and he has also served on the Common Council. Such 
is his fitness for office that no one questions his services. It was natural 
that he should be selected as the standard bearer for his party in political 
battles and he has been the nominee for Member of Congress twice in succession 
in the Eighth District, nearly overcoming a Republican majority of six 
thousand and lacking but one hundred and seventy-eight votes of election. It 
is but natural to conclude that in choosing a companion in life Mr. Haley 
would seek for a lady with cultured mind and manners, and a character of 
nobility. Such was the case, and among the members of a prominent family of 
this city he found the woman he desired as his wife. This was Miss Mary A. 
D'Arcy, and they were united in marriage December 1, 1875. Mrs. Haley is no 
less popular than her husband and the home over which she presides is a 
frequent gathering place for the cultured and accomplished friends they 
possess.
