     JERRY S. SAYLER, of Portland, supreme secretary of the United Artisans 
Life Association, has had extensive experience in the life insurance business 
and possesses high qualifications for the responsible position which he is so 
capably filling. Born in Hopkins, Missouri, on the 3d day of January, 1892, he 
is a son of Joseph H. and Harriet E. (Strawn) Sayler. His father, a veteran of 
the Civil war, is a lawyer by profession, still engaged in active practice at 
Maryville, Missouri, at the age of eighty-three years.

     After completing a public school course, Jerry S. Sayler attended the 
music department of Drake University, at Des Moines, Iowa, and in 1910, 
entered the insurance business in that city in connection with the Brotherhood 
of American Yeomen. Later he was with the New England Mutual Life Insurance 
Company in Iowa, remaining with that corporation until 1922, when he came to 
Portland, Oregon, as an insurance salesman for the United Artisans Life 
Association. He showed such ability in that line that in 1924 he was made 
sales manager, which position he held until January 1, 1927, when he was 
elected supreme secretary, and is still filling that position.

     In 1914 Mr. Sayler was united in marriage to Miss Sarah J. Latta, of Des 
Moines, Iowa, a daughter of Dr. W. J. and Mary Jane (Harbach) Latta, who were 
pioneers of that state. Mr. Sayler is a member of the Masonic order, in which 
he has received the degrees of both York and Scottish rites; the Nobles of the 
Mystic Shrine, the Woodmen of the World, the Brotherhood of American Yeomen 
and the United Artisans Life Association, and also belongs to the Portland 
Chamber of Commerce and the Eastside Business Men's Club. He gives his 
political support to the republican party and takes a helpful interest in 
public affairs. Devoting his attention closely to the interests of the great 
organization which he represents, his record has won for him a high place in 
the estimation of all who have come in contact with him.
