Bayard Taylor Hainer was born in Columbia, Boone County, Missouri on May 31, 1860. His father was Ignace Hainer[a] and his mother was Adelaide (Barthos) Hainer. Bayard's family moved to Iowa when the Civil War broke out.[1] Bayard earned a B. S. from Iowa State College in 1884 (no major identified), and a Bachelor of Laws from University of Michigan in 1887. Admitted to the bar in Michigan in the same year, he moved to Larned, Kansas to start practicing law.[1]

Settling in Guthrie, immediately after the Land Run of 1889, Hainer was appointed as Guthrie's city councillor, a position he held until 1898.
