Harry Taylor Bagley (December 23, 1874 – January 20, 1919) was an American attorney and politician in the state of Oregon. A native of Ohio, he was raised in Washington County, Oregon, where he practiced law and was a local official. He also served as a two-term mayor of Hillsboro, the county seat, and under his administration the city’s public works were modernized and roads paved for the first time.
Harry Bagley was born on December 23, 1874, in Canton, Ohio, to William and Sarah Bagley (née Robinson). The couple had wed in England in 1866 before immigrating to the United States that same year. Harry was one of six children born to the English natives, which included William H., George, Nellie, and Lillie. Harry lived in Canton until 1885 when the whole family moved west to Oregon, where his father farmed. Harry continued his education at the local public schools in Washington County, and at the county seat, Hillsboro. He then attended high school in neighboring Portland beginning in 1890. In 1894, he started reading law at the law firm of Ellis and Lyons in Heppner, Oregon.William R. Ellis had served in congress and T. R. Lyons served as a judge for the Federal Court for the Alaska Territory. Bagley was admitted to practice law in Oregon in July 1897. At this time he was also a registered insurance agent in both Hillsboro and Heppner. On January 18, 1899, he married Cora M. Rhea, a native of Morrow County in Eastern Oregon, and the daughter of a banker in Heppner.
That year he began practicing law in Washington County, Oregon, and beginning in August he also served as a deputy district attorney for the county, a position he would continue to hold until August 1900 under district attorney T. J. Cleeton. Bagley served as the justice of the peace in Hillsboro, Oregon from 1902 to 1908, and later served as the bankruptcy referee for the county.
