Joel F. Vaile, lawyer, was born
at Centerville, Wayne county, Indiana, March 14, 1848; a son of
Rawson and Anne E. Vaile. Later with his parents he removed
to Indianapolis, and subsequently to Kokomo, Ind. After
the usual course in the public schools, young Vaile entered Oberlin,
(Ohio), College where he was graduated in 1872. In that
year he engaged in teaching, and in 1976-78 he had served as Prosecuting
Attorney of the Thirty-Sixth Judicial Circuit of Indiana, and
in 1880 was an Indiana delegate in the Republican National Convention
at Chicago that nominated Garfield for President.
Mr. Vaile came to Denver from Indiana in July, 1882, and began
practice here. His ability as a thorough lawyer immediately
commanded recognition, and he formed a partnership with Judge
J.A. Bentley which continued until 1885. In that year he
became associated with Edward O. Wolcott, and the legal firm of
Wolcott & Vaile has continued without interruption since that
time.
Mr. Vaile has won special distinction in his profession for his
learning and ability in corporation and railroad law. During the
past fourteen years he has been General Attorney for the Denver
& Rio Grande Railroad Company, and is also the legal representative
at Denver of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad Company.
