HISTORICAL NOTE
The Lazy B Cattle Ranch was founded in 1880 on the Arizona-New Mexico
border southeast of Duncan, Arizona by Henry Clay (“H. C.”) Day, Sandra Day O’
Connor’s paternal grandfather. Henry Clay Day came west to Pasadena, California after
meeting and marrying Alice Edith Hilton in Wichita, Kansas. Day then took advantage
of an opportunity he just could not refuse, bought a 300 square mile tract of land in the
Arizona territory for a small sum and bought 6,000 head of Mexican cattle from the
Terrazas ranch in northern Mexico. Those 6,000 cattle were branded with the Lazy B,
which is one of the oldest Arizona brands in the continuous ownership of the same
family. After discovering that his foremen were stealing cattle from him, Day decided to
move his family to the ranch in order to look after the ranch himself.
In 1908, H. C. Day partnered the Lazy B Ranch with Sam and Walter Foster. H.
C. died in 1921 after handing over the ownership of the Day property to his wife Alice
Day to avoid complications. Alice, unfortunately followed her husband shortly after
in1926. Sam Foster turned over the settlement of the ranch to the Alice E. Day Estate,
which led directly into the hands of Harry Day.
Henry (“Harry”) Alfred Day was the fifth child born to H. C. and Alice on
December 11, 1898. Harry came back to the ranch from attending college at Stanford
University to find the ranch in serious legal and financial problems with the Foster
brothers. The matter went to federal court and was eventually settled by giving the Foster
brothers clear title to all the farmland. A new corporation, owned by the Day family,
entitled Lazy B Cattle Company, handled the financial responsibilities of the old
partnership.
In 1926, in buying from a cattle dealer named Willis Wilkey in El Paso, Texas,
Harry Day met Wilkey’s daughter Ada Mae and eloped with her after their courtship in
1927. The ranch at that time was quite rough living with on the newly married couple
and whatever ranch hands lived on the property at the time. Three years after their
marriage, Ada Mae gave birth to the first of the couple’s three children, Sandra on March
26, 1930. Ann would follow a full eight years later in 1938 and Alan in 1939.
The Day family took advantage of summer breaks to go on long trips such as to
Alaska, Mexico and every state capital west of the Mississippi, resulting in many
vacation scrapbooks and photographs. During this time period the Lazy B Ranch did
well despite involvement in a few legal disputes throughout the years.
Over it’s many years of operation, the Lazy B Ranch made quite a few
innovations. Harry Day bought Hereford cattle to breed with the original Mexican cattle
his father had bought. Alan then wanted to breed more exotic breeds of cattle with his
father’s Polled Hereford herd although Harry was against it. Alan won Harry over
though with stock that were heavier and negotiated the rough ranch terrain better.
In the late 1970s, Alan Day took over the presidency of the Lazy B Ranch with
Harry Day still taking an active part in business affairs. The company celebrated its
centennial in 1980 with many friends from the Arizona and New Mexico ranching
communities as well as all the members of the Arizona Cattle Growers Association in
attendance. At the time of the centennial, the Lazy B Ranch was the oldest ranch in
Arizona owned continuously by the same family. After many happy days in the cattle

raising business, Harry Day passed away in 1984 and Ada Mae followed him five years
later in 1989.

BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE
Sandra Day was born on March 26th, 1930 and would reach the age of eight
before new siblings entered her life. For the first six years of her life, Sandra had little
contact with other children yet became an accomplished ‘cowboy’, agile with a horse,
rifle, branding iron and tractor. Due to the remote location of the ranch, schooling was
not offered close enough for Sandra to attend from the ranch resulting in her attending
private school in El Paso, Texas and living with her maternal grandmother, Maureen
(“Mamie”) Scott Wilkey.
An accelerated student, Sandra was accepted to Stanford University at the age of
sixteen and received a law degree at twenty-two in June 1952. During her law studies at
Stanford, Sandra worked on the Stanford Law Review. Doing research on an article led
her to John Jay O’Connor III, a fellow law student also working on the Review who was a
year behind Sandra in his studies. The couple dated for two years before marrying on
December 20, 1952, a mere six months after Sandra’s graduation from law school.
In June 1953, Sandra and John O’Connor left the United States for Frankfurt,
Germany. John had been drafted into the army to work as a lawyer. Sandra found a job
as a civilian lawyer for the Quartermaster Corps. The couple returned the United States
in 1956 to settle in Phoenix, Arizona. Soon after the couple settled into the city, their
first son, Scott Hampton O’Connor, was born in 1957. Sandra worked part-time
throughout the births of her next two children, Brian in 1960 and Jay in 1962.
As a member of the Republican party, Sandra plunged into political work after the
birth of her last child. She served in a variety of positions and in 1965 went back to work
in the legal profession as state assistant attorney general on a part-time basis, which
turned into a full-time job quickly. In 1966 Sandra was nominated to be an Arizona State
senator by the Arizona Republican party. For Sandra, it was difficult to choose between
her two loves, law and politics. In 1974, O’Connor ended her last legislative session to
return to law. O’Connor ran for trial judge in the Maricopa County Supreme Court and
won the election.
In July 1981, O’Connor was nominated to the United States Supreme Court by
President Ronald Reagan. O’Connor would be the first woman to enter that distinguished
profession and a furor arose over the landmark nomination. In September, O’Connor
underwent three days of Senate confirmation hearings while protestors were stationed
outside over the issue of abortion. Her opinions on abortion concerned many anti-
abortion activists, yet O’Connor was deemed an appropriate candidate for the office and
started the job on September 28th, 1981. O’Connor has since served as a Supreme Court
judge and lives with her husband in Washington, D.C.

SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTE
The records in the Day Family Papers represent the papers compiled by a family
and business for a century, 1885-1985. The papers were primarily assembled by Harry
and Ada Mae Day as well as by Alan Day when he took over the Lazy B Ranch in the
1970s. The collection includes financial, legal papers and receipts as well as family
documents such as family photographs, correspondence and articles in published
materials relating to prominent members of the family. The records also document
family travel. The collection was housed at the Lazy B Ranch until it was accessioned in
1999 by the Arizona Historical Society. The collection came in essentially two segments,
boxes including Lazy B Ranch records and boxes holding documents concerning only the
Day Family.
Subgroup 1. Lazy B Ranch
Series 1. Correspondence, 1928-1984. This series consists of correspondence not only
to Lazy B Ranch employees but also carbon copies from the Lazy B Ranch, business
cards and telephone messages concerning the everyday functioning of the ranch. Due to
the familial nature of the business, much correspondence may appear personal at the

in Day Family Correspondence.
Series 2. Legal Papers, 1910-1933. This series consists of legal papers involving
various estates, transcripts, transcripts of oral arguments, court orders, court complaints,

court orders are included in this series.

scrapbook containing mostly Lazy B Ranch photographs with some family photographs.

Series 14. Livestock Records, 1919-1935. This small series contains various chattel

financial records such as a 1895 mortgage release, copies of jokes, poetry with an

from a Taylor Grazing meeting and the second, minutes from a meeting of the Stanford
Alumnae Association of which Sandra Day O’ Connor was a member in 1979.

1981 and 1982 when the Sandra Day O’ Connor was nominated and subsequently
appointed to the Supreme Court. The Days received an onslaught of congratulatory mail
due to these events. Another bulk year is 1925 when Harry Day’s mother wrote him on a
regular basis from California. The series is broken into incoming and outgoing mail and
contains folders for Greeting cards received in 1982, birth and graduation announcements
(note: photographs within birth announcements stayed in the announcement), and
wedding invitations. Any newspaper clippings that were within the correspondence
were copied onto acid-neutral paper and kept with the correspondence. A particularly
fascinating document is the folder titled “Telegram.” This telegram is from Harry Day to

quite incomplete. The ledgers include one 1920 address book treated like a day planner,
a household expense ledger from 1938, a taxable income ledger from 1966-1972 and two
long distance telephone record books.
Series 24. Published Material, 1907-1985. The publications in this series cover a wide

grama in southern New Mexico would also apply to ranch interests. While several
publications are listed above, the bulk of this series lies in with an extensive collection of
popular magazines such as Time and People which cover the nomination of Sandra Day
O’ Connor to the United States Supreme Court by President Ronald Reagan in 1981.
Magazines are arranged chronologically and most include one article or mention of Judge
O’ Connor. Other magazines are miscellaneous.
