Biography

Willis C. Hawley began life in 1864 and spent decades representing Oregon in the United States Congress, guiding legislation with a steady focus on rural and agricultural interests. Colleagues knew him as a man of perseverance, one who believed the voice of the hinterlands deserved equal weight in the halls of power.

He fought to bring stability to farm communities, championing responsible stewardship of the land, and his legacy lives on in the trust placed in advocates who work for rural families; he was laid to rest at City View Cemetery, where the rolling grounds honor his devotion to his constituents.
