William Edgar Vail, son of John Vail, sketched in the preceding paragraphs, was born April 4, 1855, and during boyhood was a pupil in the public schools, later attending the state normal school, and Claverack College one term. He has devoted his life to agricultural pursuits, cultivating the old homestead, and he ranks second to no farmer in this section.

He was married November 4, 1885, to Miss Ida Clark, a native of this county and a daughter of Aaron Clark. She was born December 7, 1855, in the town of Bedford, and was married by the Rev. R. L. Shurter. Two bright children bless their home: Bessie B., born in 1887; and Earl C. , born June 30, 1892.

In his political principles Mr. Vail is a Republican, while the family are attendants of the Methodist Episcopal church.
