PIONEER IDAHO MOTHER CALLED
Leona Hailey Cartee, Member of Prominent Early Day Family, Dies
Leona Hailey Cartee, member of one of the early Idaho pioneer families, died Tuesday at her home in Alameda, Calif., according to word reaching Boise friends and relatives Wednesday. She was the only daughter of the late John Hailey, twice territorial delegate to congress from Idaho and for many years librarian of the State Historical society.
Mrs. Cartee came with the Hailey family from Oregon about 1868 and during her father’s congressional career, she spent considerable time with him in Washington. She was a popular member of the early day younger set in the territorial capital. In 1888 she married Ross Cartee, son of General LaFayette Cartee, who as surveyor general of Idaho directed some of the earliest surveys in this state. General Cartee died in 1891, a year after Idaho was admitted to the union.
Return to Boise in 1902
After the marriage of Miss Hailey and Cartee, they made their home in Montana for several years, returning to Boise in 1902. After five years residence here, the family, then including a son and a daughter, spent about three years in the Phillipines. Returning from the Phillipines, they lived at intervals in Boise and Salt Lake and have lately made their home in Alameda, Calif.
Before going to the Phillipines, Mrs. Cartee became interested in the reorganization of the old Idaho Historical society. During the first administration of the late Governor Frank R. Gooding, later senator, she was a leading factor behind the passage of an act creating a board of trustees to take over the old historical society and operate it under state supervision.
Compiled Father’s History
Her father, then advanced in years, was chosen librarian and held this position until his death. From her father’s roughly sketched notes, Mrs. Cartee compiled most of the book, “Hailey’s History of Idaho.”
During the period that Mrs. Cartee resided in Boise after her return from Montana, she was an active member of the Columbian club. LaFayette Cartee, her elder son, died in Boise after their return from Montana, and Ross, jr., an Idaho university student, died as the result of an automobile accident in Salt Lake.
Mrs. Cartee is survived by one daughter, Lorene Cartee Bales, wife of J. Franklin Bales of Caldwell; her husband and three brothers, Jesse Hailey and Burrel B. Hailey, who now reside in Boise, and George Hailey, a younger brother, who lives in Los Angeles.
-------------------------------------
The only daughter of pioneers John and Louisa Hailey, Leona worked with her father during the years he served in Washington D.C., as a territorial representative from Idaho. She was one of the leading proponents in the organization of the Idaho State Historical Society. Formally the loosely knit Pioneer Society, a new organization known as the Historical Society of Idaho Pioneers was incorporated February 10, 1881. This group was only marginally functional, and Leona Cartee became the driving force behind the passage of an act creating a board of trustees to take over the society, and placing it under state supervision. The act was passed March 12, 1907, becoming effective sixty days later. Governor John Morrison appointed Mrs. Cartee, Hon. James A. Pinney, and Professor H. L. Talkington as the first Board of Trustees, and set aside a small room in the Capitol building as an office and museum. John Hailey was appointed the new society’s first librarian. Leona assisted her father with his History of Idaho, and was an early member of the Columbian Club. The club earned its name in Chicago after the state of Idaho appropriated $50,000.00 for a state building at the Chicago "World Columbian Exposition" in 1893. The Columbian Club was instrumental in establishing the Idaho State Library and the Carnegie Library, now the Boise Public Library. After her marriage in 1888 to Ross Cartee, the couple lived in Montana, Utah, the Philippine Islands, and California. They were the parents of three children. After her death her husband brought her back to Boise for burial. Ross was buried beside her after his death in 1943.
