Notes for JOHN BAILEY:
From: CROOK - An American Family, 1698-1955.
Compiled and Published by CHARLES HENRY LEAVITT
"JACOB4 BAILEY (Ephraim,3 John,2 John1) was born October 21, 1720 in Haddam, Connecticut--the second son in a
family of ten sons and one daughter. The emigrant ancestor was John Bailey or Bayley, as the name was then spelled.
This first member of the Bailey family in America came from England in 1648 and lived in Hartford, Connecticut, where
he was made a Freeman in 1657. While in Hartford he held one or two offices including that of constable. This greatgrandfather of Jacob Bailey was among the first settlers of Haddam.
"About one month after Charles II signed the Charter of Connecticut in April, 1662, a committee of the Connecticut
Colonial Legislature bought a large tract of land from the Wangunt Indians for a trifling sum (about $100.00). The town
of Haddam is today a part of that tract. The same summer John Bailey was one of twenty-eight young men, of Hartford
and near by towns, who took up the purchase and started a plantation on the lower Connecticut River. This region was
called "Thirty Mile Island Plantation." It was opposite a small island in the river, which was about thirty miles from Long
Island Sound. Six years later that location became the town of Haddam, named after Great Haddam, England. John Bailey
established himself on land at Higganum in the northern part of Haddam where he died in 1696. This founder of the
Bailey family in America is of special interest since the Crook and Bailey families intermarried."
John came to America from England in 1638 on the ship Bevis. He was one of the 28 orignial proprietors of Haddam,
CT.
In his Will he speaks of his father having left a sum of money for his grandson, John Bailey Jr., to buy a Bible.

Haddam, CT and some of his descendants. p. 66. Genealogy.com, Nov. 2001.
John Bailey was a viewer of chimneys and ladders at Hartford in 1648, a constable in March 1656-57, was made freeman
in May, 1657, and moved to Haddam, about 1662, as one of the 28 original purchasers. His will was dated June 17, 1696,
and the inventory, amounting to 186 pounds, was taken Aug. 29, 1696. He gave to sons John, Benjamin, and Nathaniel
his land at Higganum; mentioned daughters Lydia, Susanna, and Mary. He lived at Higganum, in the northern part of
Haddam. His wife was probably Lydia, daughter of Thomas Smith of Haddam.

Notes for JACOB BAILEY:
From Crook; An American Family, 1698-1955 compiled by Charles Henry Leavitt, 1956.
JACOB BAILEY (Ephraim, John,2 John1) was born October 21, 1720 in Haddam, Connecticut—the second son in a
family of ten sons and one daughter. The emigrant ancestor was John Bailey or Bayley, as the name was then spelled.
This first member of the Bailey family in America came from England in 1648 and lived in Hartford, Connecticut, where
he was made a Freeman In 1657. "While in Hartford he held one or two offices including that of constable. This greatgrandfather of Jacob Bailey was among Ae first settlers of Haddam
About one month after Charles II signed the Charter of Connecticut in April, 1662, a committee of the Connecticut
Colonial Legislature bought a large tract of land from the Wangunt Indians foe a trifling sum (about $100.00). The town
of Haddam is today a part of that tract. The same summer John Bailey was one of twenty-eight young men, of Hartford
and near by towns, who tools up the purchase and started a plantation on the lower Connecticut River. This region was
called "Thirty Mile Island Plantation." It was opposite a small island in the river, which was about thirty miles from Long
Island Sound- Six years later that location became the town of Haddam, named after Great Haddam, England. John
Bailey established himself on land at Higganum in the northern part of Haddam where he died in 1696. This founder of
the Bailey family in America is of special interest since the Crook and Bailey families intermarried.
Jacob Bailey, like his father Ephraim, was a farmer in Haddam. He and one of his sons (name not given) were
employed in the Continental Service in 1775 and on account of this service they were exempt from certain taxes in
Haddam. At least five of Jacob's sons and one son-in-law served as soldiers in the Revolutionary War. His name does not
appear in the United States Census of 1790, but an Elizabeth Bailey, residing in Haddam, is listed as head of a family.
However this was probably another Elizabeth Bailey. According to the distribution of the estate of their son, Gurdon,
both of his parents had passed on before December 28, 1784.

with her parents to Haddam, Connecticut She was the oldest of their children. In that early day a daughter's history
consisted largely in birth and marriage, so one reads of Elizabeth's marriage to Jacob Bailey August 6, 1746. It was the
second marriage in the Crook family. Jacob was the son of Ephraim and Deborah (Brainerd) Bailey. The Crook and
Bailey families were near neighbors in Higganum and later two of Elizabeth's younger sisters also married Bailey men.

Notes for TIMOTHY BAILEY:
From Crook; An American Family, 1698-1955 compiled by Charles Henry Leavitt, 1956.
16. iv. TIMOTHY* BAILEY (Elizabeth Crook.1 Thomas1) was born in 1733 in Haddam, Connecticut. All his life
be was a. farmer. He was a soldier from Haddam in 1775 and was exempt from the payment of certain taxes because of
service in the Continental Army. While in the Army he had no family to be supported from 1775 to 1781 and was listed
among soldiers serving in the Continental Line who received town bounties.
In June, 1776, he and his brothers, Jacob and Thomas, enlisted at the same time as privates in Captain Cornelius
Higgin's Eighth Haddam Company, Fifth Connecticut Battalion, Colonel James Wadsworth's Brigade. They were also
discharged die same day, December 25, 1776.
Timothy Bailey re-enlisted February 24, 1777 for three years as a private in a company designated at various times
as Captain Charles Pond's, Captain Eleazer Claghorn's and Captain Samuel A. Barker's Company, Sixth Connecticut
Regiment, commanded by Colonel Return Jonathan Meigs. Timothy's brother Jacob was a corporal, and his younger
brother Gordon a private in this company. The three brothers with several of their Bailey cousins spent the winter of
1778 and 1779 at Camp Redding in the town of Danbury, Connecticut.
Timothy was the only one of die three Bailey brothers who endured the hardships of the winter at Camp Redding,
and lived to see the site become a State Memorial Park. In the park the State of Connecticut erected an impressive
granite monument of imposing dimensions to perpetuate the memory of die men who were stationed there and endured
the bitter winter of 1778 and 1779. The scantily clothed and poorly fed soldiers were camped here in order to be in a
strategic position to march to the defense of West Point or the towns and outposts of Long bland Sound. Blockhouses
and log cabins have been reproduced, while of special interest is a long double line of stones extending from the
monument. These stones were the fireplaces in the crude huts of the soldiers.
The army records do not state positively, but it appears that he and Gordon were in the battle at the taking of Fort
Stony Point where their brother. Corporal Jacob Bailey, was killed July 16, 1779.
Private Timothy Bailey was in the battle of Elizabethtown on June 6, 1780, when Lord Sterling with 5000 troops
crossed from Staten Island to Elizabethtown Point, and advanced before daylight towards Elizabethtown but found the
American militia on watch. A sentry fired into the advancing column, only dimly distinguishable, and the Commanding
General, Lord Sterling, received the ball. which proved fatal. The battle raged furiously until the next morning, when
the British retreated slowly, in order that it should not be represented as a flight from the Americans. In a letter
Timothy wrote to the War Deportment, he told of being in the battle of Elizabetbtown and that his army service was
principally in New Jersey.
He received his discharge from this enlistment December 24,1780.
He married about the dose of the war. Anna ——————, who was born in 1765. By 1810 they evidently had a
family of six children and soon after that date. when Timothy was nearing sixty, they moved from Haddam to Leyden
in northern New York. He applied for a Government pension at Leyden. April 22, 1818. in which he stated be was in ill
health and his family consisted only of his wife and himself. The claim was granted at $8.00 from April 22, 1818."

family moved in 1743 to Haddam, Connecticut. She was married in Haddam, on her seventeenth birthday, December 14,
1749 to Stephen, son of Ephraim and Deborah (Brainerd) Bailey of Haddam. He was a brother of her sister Elizabeth's
husband and a cousin of her sister Lydia's husband. The homesteads of the Crook and Bailey families were closely
situated in the northern part of the township, and this fact may account for their common interests and marriages.

From Pioneer and Patriot Families of Bradford County, Pennsylvania 1800-1825 by Clement F. Heverly.
Oliver Bailey, the ancestor of the Baileys of Western Bradford, was the hero of two wars. A son of Ephraim Bailey, he
was a native of Haddam, Middlesex county, Conn. And there married Hannah ScoviIle. He was a private in the
Revolutionary war in the company of Captain Higgins, Col. Wm. Douglas, 5th battalion Wadsworth's brigade, raised
June, 1776, to reinforce Washington's army at New York, he was in the battle of Long Island and also White Plains.
Some years after the war, he removed to Berkshire, Mass., and in 1803 came with his wife to Granville township,
Bradford county, where some of the family had already settled. Here he continued lo reside until the time of his death,
October 4, 1822, aged 84 years. In noting his demise. The Settler, published at Towanda. says; "Mr. Bailey was a soldier
of two wars. He served through the whole of the old French war and was one of the first who asserted our independence
in 1775. He served through the whole of that arduous struggle for liberty and was in many of the most important battles.
He was one of the most respected and first settlers of Franklin (then including part of Granville), having resided in that
place 19 years He had 12 children, all of whom lived to have families and to an advanced age."
From Tri-Counties Newspaper Clipping Scrapbook - BAILEY - At the time of his death in 1822, the Towanda newspaper
The Settler wrote of Oliver Bailey.
"Mr Bailey was a soldier of two wars. He served through the whole of the old French War and was one of the first who
asserted our independence in 1775. He served through the whole of that arduous struggle for liberty and was in many of
the most important battles. He was one of the most respected and first settlers of Franklin (then including part of
Granville), having resided in that place 19 years. He had 12 children, all of whom lived to have families and to an
advanced age."
The Bailey family lived in Haddam, CT from its beginnings in 1662. Some years after his marriage in 1761, Oliver Bailey
moved his family to Great Barrington, Berkshire County, Massachusetts. By 1803 Oliver and Hannah (Scoville) had
moved to Bradford County, Pennsylvania. Four of his children stayed in Massachusetts: Oliver, Jr., Phebe, Hannah, and

Notes for JACOB BAILEY, JR.:
From Crook; An American Family, 1698-1955 compiled by Charles Henry Leavitt, 1956.
13. i. JACOB BAILEY JR. (Elizabeth Crook, Thomas) was born May 8, 1747 in Haddam, Connecticut. He spent his
youth in his native town and married about 1773. The name of his wife is unknown, but it is known that there was one
son, Jacob III, born March 19, 1775. This son married Temperance Bates May 7,1800. Jacob III died June 14,1813 in
Haddam.
Jacob Bailey Jr. married his second wife, Sarah ____, February 13, 1776. Four months later in June, 1776 with his
brothers Thomas and Timothy and several cousins, he became a soldier in the War for Independence. They enlisted as
privates in Captain Cornelius Higgin's Eighth Company from Haddam, Fifth Connecticut Militia Battalion—Colonel
James Wadsworth's Brigade. It was this Fifth Connecticut Battalion that reinforced General George Washington's army at
New York and was at the right of the line of works during the Battle of White Plains. Jacob was discharged December 25,
1776 when the term of service expired for the Haddam Company.
10
Jacob Bailey re-enlisted for three years as a private, April 12, 1777 in Captain Charles Pond's Company—also known
as Captain Eleazer Claghorn's Company, Sixth Connecticut Regiment—commanded by Colonel Return Jonathan Meigs.
He re-entered the army in time to be in the expedition under Colonel Meigs in the attack upon a British foraging party at
Sag Harbor, at the east end of Long Island. Colonel Meigs and his detachment of 170 men embarked in a number of
whaleboats from Guilford (at that tune a small town five miles east of New Haven) in the evening of May 23, 1777. They
crossed the Sound and attacked the British troop at Sag Harbor about two o'clock the following morning. The Loyalists
were completely surprised and all the members of the party were taken prisoners, without the loss of a single American.
Forage, brigs, sloops and large quantities of supplies were destroyed. In going to Sag Harbor and returning to Guilford, a
distance of nearly one hundred miles was covered in less than eighteen hours and this brilliant exploit became a reality.
Such a surprise was known by the British as an "alert." The members of Congress were so grateful they voted Colonel
Meigs their thanks for the achievement and presented him with a silver hilted sword.
The Sixth Regiment went into winter quarters for 1777 and 1778 at West Point, where the soldiers assisted in the
construction of permanent fortifications on the Hudson River. Jacob Bailey was promoted to Corporal June 17,1778. That
summer Colonel Meigs' regiment was encamped with the main army under General Washington at White Plains. The
Connecticut Division received orders October 22 to leave White Plains for New Melford, Connecticut, where they went
into camp at a place called "Camp Second Hill". On November 19 they were again on the march to their winter quarters at
Camp Redding in the town of Danbury, Connecticut, where most of them were to remain during the winter of 1778 and
1779. Their camp was in a sheltered valley framed by the Saugautuck River and its tributaries and protected by treecovered hills.
About December, General Israel Putnam took command of Camp Redding. From time to time during the winter small
detachments were sent out from Redding to watch the enemy and relieve soldiers in out-posts kept up on Long Island
Sound. No doubt Corporal Jacob Bailey was often in charge of such units. He was taken prisoner January 10, 1779. The
roll on which his capture is recorded is dated February 2, of that year. Later be was exchanged and returned to his
company, but this last date has not been found. In May the Connecticut Division left Camp Redding, their destination
being the Highlands across the river from West Point on the east side of the Hudson River.
General Washington decided that summer that it was necessary to recapture Fort Stony Point, a post on the west bank
of the Hudson River, which the British had captured and held since early in the spring. This fort commanded King's Ferry
river crossing between the New England colonies and the strategic Middle Atlantic country. It was strongly fortified and
at high tide entirely surrounded by water. General Washington organized a corps of 1300 light Infantry troops under
Brigadier-General Anthony Wayne. They were picked men from all the regiments under Washington's command. Each
regiment contributed companies of from 40 to 60 men and all were organized into regiments. The Connecticut Division
furnished one of the regiments, numbering 400 officers and men, commanded by Colonel Return Jonathan Meigs of
Middletown, Connecticut. Corporal Jacob Bailey was among those selected for this difficult task. His part in the storming
and taking of Fort Stony Point July 16,1779 was his final service to his country.
Extensive and far reaching military preparations were made for weeks in advance of the attack, for it was known to be
almost an impregnable fortress. All dogs within a radius of three miles of the fort were destroyed so that no riotous bark
might give an alarm to the garrison. Not a gun was to be loaded and the men were warned that if by chance a musket was
fired, an outcry or other signals made, betraying the approaching columns, the offender would be immediately shot by the
nearest officer. The onset was to be made with bayonets alone, and as the soldiers said, "For once to be put to more
warring use than roasting meat before a camp fire."
At eight o'clock in the evening of July 15, 1779, a hot summer day, General Wayne halted his troops a mile and a half
from the fort and gave orders for the assault which was to be made a little after midnight. The Connecticut regiment
formed part of General Wayne's right column. A Negro, who had learned the countersign, went with the advance and
through him the enemy pickets were deceived, caught and silenced.* Everything was done in silence. With empty
muskets and bayonets fixed the two divisions crossed the stony causeway at low tide, attacked from opposite sides,
swarmed upon the outposts before the garrison could open fire from their batteries. As they gained positions a watchword
had been given to each detachment to shout: "The fort is ours." The struggle was short and over in a few minutes when
the garrison surrendered. The Americans lost 15 killed, among them Corporal Bailey and four other Corporals, the British
63 killed and 553 taken prisoners.
This commendable exploit had an inspiring effect upon the morale of the American army. General Charles Lee (a
troublemaker in the army and far from being a friend of General Washington) called this, "Not only the most brilliant
assault in the whole war on either side, but the most brilliant in history." General Wayne, who was wounded in the battle,
wrote to General Washington, "Our officers and men behaved like men determined to be free."
Corporal Jacob Bailey was killed in the early morning of July 16, and three days later, on July 19, 1779 his son was
born in Haddam, Connecticut. This boy was named Return Jonathan Meigs after his father's regimental commander,
under whom his father had served more than two years. Meigs was the name by which the son was known throughout his
life.
March 22, 1804 Meigs married Hannah ______. Six years later they were still living in Haddam with their two sons
and one daughter. The widowed mother was also a member of their household. She had raised her son and always lived
11
with him. Before 1820 the family had moved to Henrietta, Monroe County, New York, where Sarah Bailey died suddenly
July 8, 1836, having outlived her husband 57 years. Meigs Bailey was allowed a pension due his mother on an application
executed October 27, 1846. His two sons were Marving and Meigs. In a letter dated Henrietta, New York, October 27,
1844 Meigs wrote that he recalled an incident in Haddam, Connecticut, when he was a small boy. Colonel Meigs called at
his mother's home and gave him a crown— telling him if he would call at the Colonel's house in Middletown he would
give him a hat. At that time he signed his name Jonathan R. M. Bailey.

married, May 19, 1779, Ama (Amy) Kelley, who was born in 1748. She was undoubtedly the daughter of John and
Margery (_____) Kelley, who lived in Haddam. The ceremony was performed by the reverend Eleazer May, pastor of the
First Congregational Church of Haddam, recorded in the following unique words: "Then I married Thomas Bailey and
Ama Kelley together." This form invariably appears in the original entries of the marriages by the Reverend Mr. May.
Thomas Bailey was a soldier in the Revolutionary War in the same military organization with his brothers Jacob and
Timothy. He enlisted in June, 1776 in Captain Cornelius Higgins' Haddam Company, Fifth Connecticut Battalion,
12
Colonel James Wadsworth Brigade. This battalion served in New York City, Brooklyn Front, in the Battle of Long Island
and White Plains. His enlistment expired Christmas Day, 1776, No record has been found of more enlistments, and it is
presumed he was in poor health and that he died soon after the close of the war.
Thomas and Amy lived in the Higganum District of Haddam, where he died in December, 1785 and was buried in the
Old Higganum Cemetery. According to the United States census of 1790, Amy Bailey was living in Haddam with one
son under 16 years of age. This son, Thomas Bailey, Jr., died, April 9, 1802 age 22, and was buried beside his father in
the village cemetery. On May 28, 1802 Amy Bailey stated she was unable to administer the estate of her son Thomas, and
requested that Robert Smith be appointed administrator. The estate was approved May 31, 1802, and was administrated
by Robert Smith December 27, 1802. Less than ten months after the death of her only child, Amy (Kelley) Bailey died
February 3, 1803 and was buried in the family plot in the Old Higganum Cemetery, Haddam, Connecticut."

19. ABIJAH5 BAILEY (JACOB4, EPHRAIM3, JOHN2, JOHN1)186 was born Abt. 1755 in Haddam, CT186. He married HANNAH
CROOK186 1785186, daughter of SHUBAEL CROOK and HANNAH ?. She was born Abt. 1760 in Haddam, CT186.
Notes for ABIJAH BAILEY:
From Crook; An American Family, 1698-1955 compiled by Charles Henry Leavitt, 1956..
"17. v. ABIJAH (MIJAH) BAILEY (Elizabeth Crook, Thomas) was born about 1755 in Haddam, Connecticut. He
served in the War for Independence, enlisting as a private May 11, 1775. His was the First Company, Second Regiment,
Connecticut Line, commanded by General Joseph Spencer of East Haddam, Connecticut. The regiment was raised during
April and May, 1775, when the State Legislature first called for troops. The men came mainly from MIddlesex County
and the eastern part of the Colony.
The men of this early regiment of Connecticut troops marched by companies to camps around Boston and served during
the siege of Boston. Several detachments of officers and men were engaged at the Battle of Bunker Hill and in General
Benedict Arnold's Quebec Expedition.
General Richard Montgomery was authorized to make the attempt to reach Quebec by the way of Lake Champlain - at
the same time General Washington organized an expedition to proceed up the Kennebec River through the Maine Woods
to Quebec. General Benedict Arnold was placed in command of the thirteen companies of volunteers for this effort. The
Connecticut quota was one full company of one hundred strong, commanded by Captain Oliver Hanchett if Shuffield,
Connecticut. It is presumed Private Abijah Bailey was in this company.
The army of 1300 officers and men under the command of General Arnold started from Cambridge, Massachusetts,
September 11, 1775. Sloops and Schooners took them from Newburyport to the mouth of the Kennebec River. More than
200 badly constructed boats were awaiting them in which they ascended the river, poling, rowing and dragging the boats
around waterfalls and over rocks and rapids. The enterprise proved to be a difficult and dangerous undertaking.
Towards the end of October, when it was cold and snowing, three companies of musketmen, appalled at the hazards they
were undergoing, abandoned the expedition and returned to Cambridge. At that time officers and men each had to carry
packs. Some were not able to do so, and some were sick so that guards had to accompany them on the return. Lieutenant
Colonel Joseph Spencer, in command of Arnold's rear division, returned with his party at the same time. Abijah Bailey
was probably among the returning Connecticut troops in that he was discharged , December 3, 1775. Had he gone to
Canada he hardly could have been discharged at that early date. There seem to be no further records of his army service.
The hardships suffered in the Quebec campaign may have rendered him unfit for further military service.
Abijah Bailey married his cousin Hannah, daughter of Shubel and Hannah (_____) Crook, in November, 1785. She was
the young widow of ______ Cone. They were married in Haddam by the Reverend Eleazer May of the First
Congregational Church, who baptized Hannah in March, 1760.
13
Like most Americans of the period, Abijah was a farmer and his "Mark for creatures" (domestic animals) was recorded
by the Haddam Town Clerk, March 1, 1800. He was living in Haddam in May, 1806 but probably moved son after that
date, or about the same time as his brother Timothy and cousin Joseph Crook, to Leydon, New York. Abijah or Mijah
Bailey's eight children are listed with their mother, Hannah (Crook) Cone Bailey, No. 25."

Notes for JEREMIAH TAYLOR:
From the History of Bradford County, Pennsylvania with Biographical Sketches By H. C. Bradsby, 1891, CHAPTER
XXXIII. Granville Township.
DURING the winter of 1798-99 Jeremiah Taylor, with his family, left his native Berkshire, Mass., home, and with a
Connecticut title to a piece of land in what is Bradford county came and first stopped in what is now West Burlington,
where he stayed one season, and in a way worked a piece of land, afterward Amasa Greeno's. While here, he put in his
odd time in clearing and preparing his future farm home, In March, 1800, he moved to his place with a yoke of oxen and
a sled, a distance of about four miles to Towanda creek, now Leroy township. Their only neighbor was Lewis Moffit,
who came the same year and settled about a mile west, up the main stream on the Harrison Ross farm. The next arrival, in
1801, was Scovil Bailey, who was down the stream some fifty rods, on the Lame D. Taylor farm. Ile was a carpenter and
a noted hunter. Then came David Bailey and his father and mother, who settled east on the Robert Bailey farm. Then
came Ezra Bailey, who settled between Scovil Bailey and David Bailey, on the Elam A. Bailey farm. Then came .Thomas
Bailey, who settled north of them on the John Vrooman farm; then Uriah Baxter, on the Benjamin Baldwin farm.
The first white child born in the settlement was Sylvester Taylor, third son of Jeremiah Taylor, the latter of whom died
September 17, 1827. Sylvester lived to be an old man on the old farm at Granville Centre. The first death was that of Mrs.
Lewis Moffit, who was buried on the old Crofut farm on Towanda creek. The first wedding was that of Hugh Holcomb
(the first settler in Leroy township) with Prudence Bailey, daughter of Oliver Bailey. One of Holcomb's sons was Hon.
Judson Holcomb, of Towanda.
The first school was taught in the summer of 1807 by Miss Delight Spalding. The patrons of this school were Jeremiah
Taylor, Benjamin Saxton, Scovil Bailey, Ezra Bailey, David Bailey, Thomas Bailey, Uriah Baxter and Oliver Nelson. The
last and Benjamin Saxton came that year. There were fifteen pupils in the school, embracing a territory of about three
miles square. Lewis Moffit left, and Benjamin Saxton settled on his place. The latter, who was the first blacksmith, soon
built his shop and went to work. Nelson settled on the John Vrooman farm. This was the total for Granville for some
years-all were old New England acquaintances.
From 1807 there were but few additions to the settlement, but about this time a change was made in the road from Sugar
creek to Towanda creek; commencing from near the present road from West Burlington to Granville and Le Roy, which
crossed, Sugar creek at Goddard's sawmill (the gristmill was added several years after); the road then ran further up the
hill south and further north on the side of the hill, and intersected the present road near George Shattuck's, then continued
16
near the same to Bailey's, and then crossed the North branch and ran south near the present road until it intersected the
Taylor road, " about a mile from Towanda creek.
The first religious wave struck Granville in 1805, when Jeremiah Taylor and wife joined the Baptist Church on Towanda
creek. Under Elder Thomas Smiley a church was built on this creek. It was this Elder Smiley that was visited at night, and
tarred and feathered by the Connecticut land claimants. They took him away from his house and greatly maltreated him.
01' this circumstance a contemporary account says: "The men came f rom the north country" (this probably means Athens
or Tioga Point) 11 rode fast horses and had fierce countriances.))
About 1810 the Methodists bad preaching appointments in this section, and did organize a society in the settlement, and
had two revival meetings, and showed some activity until 1856, when it all ceased. The next year, 1811, a road was
opened from -Towanda creek (now West Franklin) to Irad Wilson's, near Alba borough-elevenmiles. On this road the
settlers began to build and remove from the first houses along the stream. During this year new comers arrived, among
others, Philip Packard, Abraham Parkhurst and Charles Butterfield; Packard settled the farm afterward Joseph Pratt's,
Parkhurst at Bailey's old place, and Scovil Bailey where David Bailey had settled.
During the years 1812-15 a draft was ordered in the State, and Ezra Bailey was drafted from his township; he went to
headquarters, but was soon allowed to return home again discharged.
In the winter of 1814-15 an epidemic prevailed in the settlement, and Abraham Parkhurst and his two sons, Luther and
Asa, died. Mr. Parkhurst had believed in his ability to hold converse with departed friends, which was the earliest case of
spiritualism in the county, no doubt.
In 1816 there was the severe frost, in August, that in all parts of the county destroyed corn, and a famine among the
people was threatened. A small supply was had by going to Lycoming creek then called Egypt.
The first frame barn was built in Granville In 1815, by Jeremiah Taylor; the first frame dwelling, in 1819, by Jeremiah
Taylor, Jr.. and the next year the latter built a small gristmill, which could grind only a little corn. In this some time
afterward a turning-lathe was erected, and a chair-wheel factory was carried on for some time by Nathaniel Phelps.
Afterward Jeremiah Taylor, Jr.. built a saw and grist mill which (lid a good business until the earl "sixties."

Notes for STEPHEN WALKLEY:
From The Roseman Lawrence Family by Mrs. A. Lawrence Jinks, 1965.
4a. Stephen Walkley, husband of Hannah Lawrence. Family Tree. The first emmigrant ancestor in America -was
20
Richard Walkley (Wakelee). The present Walkley says he was born in England. The Commemoratve Biographical
Record of Middlesex Co. 1903 says he came from Scotland to Saybrook, Conn. in 1635 with Lord Say, Lord Seal and
Lord Brooke.
II. His son, Richard, settled In Haddam, Conn. in 1652 and in 1677 married Agnes ——-.
III. His son. Richard, born about 1705, married Abigail Spencer.
IV. His son. Richard, born about 1738, married Deborah Bailey.
V. His son, Stephen, born 1778, married Hannah Lawrence. In the same Biographical Record, a Miss Walkley and two
sisters lived at home on Walkley Hill.
As early as 1730 a James Walkley served in the militia. In 1719, the estate of Richard Walkley was taxed fifty pounds at
Haddam, Conn. Stephen died on the farm after living there for over 60 years, on April 26. 1869, age 91 years. He Is
buried in the East Main Road cemetery. His record and Hannah*s are on one tombstone. An 1812 marker and a U.S. flag
are on his grave. Stephen made a will,February 24, 1854 and later, a codicil. He willed his property to children, Richard,
Harry, Harriet and Eunice. In his lifetime, he had provided for the remainder of his children. In the settlement of this
estate, one hundred acres was purchased by Eunice and one hundred acres went to Richard. Later, an agreement was
made that Eunice deed her part to Richard and accept a life lease in order that the farm might remain intact. In the 1860
census. William Walkley and Eunice Walkley were living at home. John Durhtie, age 30. was a farm hand.

Notes for HANNAH LAWRENCE:
From The Roseman Lawrence Family by Mrs. A. Lawrence Jinks, 1965.
4. Hannah Lawrence, daughter of Rosman and Hannah Dunham Lawrence, was born. October 12, 1785 and baptized at
Christ Church, Middletown, Conn., December 25. 1785. Sponsors were her parents and the wife of G. Spooner. Hannah
Lawrence married at Middletown, September 10, 1806, Stephen Walkley of Haddam, Conn. These records are found in a
bible owned by Frank Walkley of LeRoy, N. Y. and described by him as follows; "The Family Bible was published in
1817 at Brattleborough, Vermont for J. Holbrook (9th edition stereotype copy) but no other publisher's name is given.
The first page is inscribed "The property of Stephen Walkley, October 25, 1818'." From More Century Farms of New
York State, Stephen Walkley, Conn., having married Hannah Lawrence in 1806, came in the year of 1807, to western
New York looking for land. Tradition says he walked or hitched rides on that long trip from Connecticut. He purchased
200 acres of land from the Phelps and Gorham Purchase for $600 from Asher Bates, the first postmaster at LeRoy. (Mr.
Frank Walkley has the original deed to this farm.) That summer (1807) Walkley cleared a couple acres and sowed wheat
and erected a log house. Then he returned to Connecticut. In the spring of 1808, he came again, bringing his wife and her
brother, Silas Lawrence. From the family record, their first son, Asahel, was born July 12th, so he was born after their
arrival at their new home in LeRoy. The farmhouse on the Walkley farm is believed to have been built in 1812. At
present, It contains many beautiful possessions collected by four generations of Walkleys that have lived in it. All four
generations have celebrated their golden weddings.There are many fascinating stories to be told about the early days on
Yankee Road. Limitations of space permit only one story about a brave resourceful woman, Hannah Lawrence Walkley.
In the spring of 1814, Stephen Walkley was serving in the American forces at Fort Niagara. The burning of Buffalo on
the last days of 1813 by the British and Indians had thrown all of western New York into a panic. Most of her neighbors
had fled to the east side of the Genesee River but Hannah Walkley stayed on the farm with her three young children,
caring for the family and the farm. There were oxen and hogs in addition to crops. While she was alone in this eerie
wilderness, there Indians came to her door. They asked for a meal. She made a quick decision. “If you will pitch hay for
the stock. I'll make a dinner for you", she told them. Her guests were willing. While they worked, she went to the cellar
where she had chickens stored for some special occasions, brought up a couple and made a fine chicken dinner. The
Indians were perfectly friendly and left after the meal deeply grateful. One happy day, as she was working with the oxen,
one raised his head, listened and mooed. He had heard and seen his master returning from Army duty.
In the house is a yarn winding swift, still in use since the settlement days. Andirons, that came from Haddam, are still in
the fireplace. Heavy drapes woven 1838, hang at the wide living room door. (Virginia Teetley and Henry S. Manley.)
Hannah Lawrence lived in this house until her death, June 13, 1863, age 88 years. She is burled in the Walkley plot,
cemetery east of LeRoy. N. Y.

Notes for ELIPHALET BAILEY:

Notes for ROSWELL BAILEY:
Both of these sketches come from History of Tioga County, Pennsylvania, 1897.
"Roswell Bailey, a native of Vermont, came into the county about 1802 and located in Tioga township. About 1810 he
removed to what is now known as the Dartt settlement, in Charleston township, and there became a pioneer settler. Here
he engaged in farming and lumbering until his death. The tombstone over his grave in the Dartt settlement cemetery bears
the following inscription: Rozel Bailey, Killed by the upsetting of his wagon, Oct. 24, 1840.
At the time of his death he was engaged in hauling heavy castings for his sawmill. The team ran away, while going down
hill, upsetting the wagon and crushing him under its load. His sister, Betsey, came into the county with him and in 1812
became the wife of John Lawrence. On February 11, 1891, being then a resident of Mansfield, she celebrated the one
hundredth anniversary of her birth, and lived nearly a year longer."
"Roswell Bailey was born in Vermont, December 25, 1782, came to Tioga county, Pennsylvania, about the year 1802 and
located in Tioga township. In 1810 he removed to Dartt settlement, in Charleston township, where he cleared and
improved a farm and died October 24, 1840. In 1805 Mr. Bailey married Lucinda Clark, of which union six children grew
to maturity named as follows: Clark W., Robert B., Roswell W., Mary A., Benjamin M., And Justis B. Mrs Bailey died in
the early twenties and in 1923 he married Julia A. Rockwell, who became the mother of six children: John W., Rockwell
S., George W., Julia A., Ellen M., and Caroline."
From the Lycoming Gazette.
August 28, 1833 - "From the Tioga Phenix - TIOGA COUNTY CONVENTION.
At a meeting of the delegates of the several townships of said county, for the purpose of nominating a suitable person as
a candidate for Representative to the Legislature of Pennsylvania, held at the house of Benjamin R. Hall in Tioga village,
on Thursday the 22d inst. the Hon JOHN RYON was called to the Chair, and Dr. C. Parkhurst and N.H. Purple, Esq.
were appointed Secretaries.
The following delegates appeared and were admitted to seats in the Convention. Delmar. Jonah Brewster and John
Dailey. Charleston. Rozel Bailey and Elmer Bacon. Shippen. Leonard Pfouto and Ephrain Steele. Westfield. Archibald
Campbell and ??."
From the Tioga Eagle.
November 4, 1840 - "It is with feelings of deep regret that we announce the death of Mr. Rozel Bailey, one of the earliest
and most respectable inhabitants in this county. As he was returning homewards on the 23d ult. with a two-horse team
loaded with heavy iron castings for a saw mill, the horses, in the neighborhood of "Daggett's Hollow" ran off, Mr. Bailey,
it seems, was sitting up on the wagon when it broke to pieces, and no doubt was dragged a considerable distance before
the horses became disengaged from the fragments of the wreck. The body was taken up a short time after, but the vital
spark had fled to Him who gave it.
The remains, on the Monday following, were followed to the grave by a large concourse of citizens who seemed deeply
affected by the melancholy catastrophe, which has taken from our society a worthy member and much beloved neighbor."
From the Encyclopedia of Biography by John W. Jordan, 1914.
Rozel, son of Robert and Asenath (Lawrence) Bailey, was born December 25, 1782, in New England, and about 1802,
moved by the adventurous spirit inherited from his immigrant ancestor, he migrated to Tioga county, Pennsylvania, where
he cleared and cultivated a farm in the wilderness, making a home for himself and his descendants. He married, about
1805, Lucinda Clark, of Massachusetts, and their children were: Clark,. Robert, Roswell Wilson, Mary Ann, Benjamin,
Justus. Mrs. Bailey died December , 3, 1822, and thereafter Mr. Bailey married Julia Rockwell. The children of this
second marriage were: John W., mentioned below; Rockwell, George,: Julia, Ellen, Caroline. Rozel Bailey, the father,
died in 1840, as the result of an accident, but before his death he had the joy of welcoming his father and Ins
brothers and sisters to Pennsylvania, which became thenceforth the abode of this very numerous, able and honorable
family. For many years prior to his death, Roze! Bailey had lived at Dartt, a settlement in the southern part of Tioga
24
county, which he had been instrumental in founding.

Notes for ELLEN M. BAILEY:
From the Wellsboro Agitator.
November 16, 1904 - "Mrs. Ellen B. Williams, aged 66, widow of the late Mr. Philip Williams, of Mansfield, died at
the home of her niece, Mrs. Carrie Faulkner Carroll, in Lincoln Nebraska, on Saturday afternoon. The cause of her
death was probably heart disease, as she had been in her usual health up to the time she died.
Mrs. Williams was a daughter of Rosel and Julia Bailey, deceased, and was born in Charleston, March 4, 1838. She is
the last of her family and is survived only only by several nephews and nieces, among whom are Mrs. M. L. Bacon and
L.L. Bailey, Esq., of this borough. Mrs. Williams had made her home in Mansfield since her marriage and since her
husband's death about ten years ago, she had spent much time in traveling, having spent some time in Europe and
several winters in California, Florida and the West Indies.
. . . . . The remains will be brought to her home in Mansfield, where funeral services will be held, probably tomorrow."

Notes for PHILIP WILLIAMS:
From the History of Tioga County, 1883.
"ROSS & WILLIAMS - Andrew L. Ross was born in Pike, Bradford county, Pa, February 23rd 1827, and came to
Mansfield in 1855. Philip Williams was born in troy, Pa, in 1826, and came here in 1837. In 1855 these gentlemen
formed a copartnership, and they have ever since been known as our most prominent business men, engaging largely in
nearly every branch of business, and wielding a controlling influence in the monetary affairs of the village and
surrounding country. On the 24th of May 1872 they commenced banking business, which is still continued. Mr. Ross
died August 18th, 1875, and his son C.S. Ross, has succeeded to his father's business. Mr. Williams has been for many
years treasurer of the normal school."
"The Banking House of Ross & Williams was established May 24, 1872, by Andrew J. Ross and Philip Williams. Mr.
Ross remained the senior partner until his death, August 18, 1875. IN the summer of 1878, having become of age, his
oldest son, Charles S. Ross, who had previously been employed as a clerk, entered the partnership as the representative
of his father's interest. Mr. Williams died in July, 1894, and Mr. Ross carried on the business until January 1, 1895, as
surviving partner, when he became sole proprietor. The use of the old name is continued. This bank is ably and
conservatively managed and is regarded as one of the strongest financial institutions in this section of the State."
From the Wellsboro Agitator.
August 1, 1894 - "The people of this place were surprised last Thursday morning to learn of the sudden death of Philip
Williams. He went home Wednesday night about 9 o'clock and said he was very tired and would lie down awhile. His
wife went to him a little after ten and found him dead. Although in poor health for a few years back his sudden death
25
was entirely unexpected. The funeral was held Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock. The services were held in the yard
under the trees where in life Mr. Williams was very fond of sitting on warm summer days. His wife survives him, but
there are no children to share her loss. The funeral was largely attended, about 40 carriages being in the procession."

Notes for HANNAH BAILEY:
From the Tioga County Agitator, December, 1869, reprinted in the Wellsboro Agitator, October 27, 1969.
"Mrs. Hannah Willard, widow of late Oliver Willard, died at the residence of her son, Alpheus Willard, Esq., in
Charleston, Dec. 23d inst., in the 86th year of her age. Mrs. Willard and her husband came to this country 61 years ago,
and settled on the farm where she died. At this time this whole county was a howling wilderness. The site of Wellsboro
was a forest and Charleston and Delmar has scarcely a dozen families. There were no gristmills nearer than Williamsport
on one hand and Painted Post on the other. For some years the early inhabitants suffered what we should call great
privations. Jonnycake, and front, and venison, made up the principal bill of fare, but it nourished a hardy race. The
primeval forests have melted away before them. Mrs. Willard was one of the last if not the last, of the first class of settlers
in this county."
Oliver and Hannah were living with Alpheus and his wife in 1860. She was misidentified in the census as Nancy.
Notes for OLIVER WILLARD:
From the Tioga County Agitator.
April 30, 1862 - "A Puritan Relic, Mr. Oliver Willard of Charleston, now in his 80th year, has an ivory snuff box, which
was brought to this country by Joseph Willard a passenger in the May Flower. The box is 3 inches long, 2 inches wide
and about half an inch deep, and is locked by two silver clasps, upon which are marked the initials "I.W." It has
descended as an heir loom from Joseph Willard (father) to Joseph Willard (son) for 9 generations in this country and has
never been out of the Willard family since 1620. How long it was in the family before Joseph Willard landed at Plymouth
Rock is not known. It is quite a curiosity, and suggests many reflections. Although made for a snuff box, it certainly
could not have been used for that purpose during the residence of the family in Plymouth Colony; and the "blue laws" of
a later date made the snuff a contraband abomination."

Notes for MALINDA HOTCHKISS:
From the Oakland County Pioneer Clippings 1873 - 1876.
"Seventy-fifth Anniversary of Mrs. Malinda Bailey:
I have noticed a number of articles that were written by the pioneers of this county. Being a pioneer myself, seventy-five
years old today, I will try and give a brief account of my early days; the place of my happy childhood hours and to the
present time. I was born in the year 1800, in the town of Argyle, Washington County, New York, on the east side of
North River, one mile from old Fort Edward.
Not wishing to take up too much room in the columns of your valuable paper, but in order to make my account interesting
I wish to say something about my parentage. My father was of English descent. His grandfather was one of the Pilgrims
that landed at Plymouth Rock on the 23rd of December 1620. My mother was of French descent. Her father came from
France in the latter part of 1776 or the former part of 1777 and enlisted as a soldier during the contest between the
colonies and England and served under General Lafayette. My father was born in New Haven, Connecticut in 1758 and
went into the service when but a boy in years and remained during the principal part of the war until he, with some of his
fellow soldiers, was taken prisoners. As a soldier of our revolution, he fought gallantly for our liberty; was a prisoner in
the prison ship and sugar house in New York and suffered all the horrors of their dismal and lonesome places, but his
sorrows are o'er and he has gone to the reward of his services. His sleep is now the calm sleep of the patriot and the
soldier; his country owed him the cheer of gratitude. He was a prisoner for nine long months and was frozen from his feet
to his knees. Although he lived to a good old age, as he was 96 years old when he died.
My grandfather on my mother's side was in the service also. My grandmother was left alone with a family of four at the
time Burgoyne was marching through the country with his forces of soldiers and Indians, murdering, burning and
destroying all before them. Even some of his Indian allies got disgusted with him, or at least a great many of them did and
deserted. Then one of their number went to warn the people of approaching danger, as the able-bodied men were mostly
in the service.
Fort Edward, as I have before mentioned, was filled with aged men, women and children. So that many, for the want of
room, were compelled to remain outside of the fort. When the Indian came to tell them of their danger, a great many went
to a large pine and spruce swamp for greater safety and among them, my grandmother with her four children, my mother
being the eldest, aged 14 years. I should have stated before that those families took what provisions and things they could
conveniently (take) with them and remained there several days. In the meantime, Burgoyne was defeated and surrendered
his army. Again they repaired to their respective homes. The Indian that came to notify them of their danger afterwards
lived and died in that town, beloved by all who knew him.
After peace was declared, my father married Miss Lucy Carey, my mother, and settled there, where they remained for a
number of years, but finally sold out and went to Pennsylvania in an early day and there lived the remainder of his days in
the town of Tioga, Tioga County.
As I have been saying things that have been handed down to me, I will now try and say something about myself and
family.
I was married to Mr. Robert Bailey in the year 1815, in the 15th year of my age. We settled in Rutland Twp., Tioga
County, Pennsylvania, where we lived a number of years. From there we moved to the town of Southport, Chemung
County, New York, two miles from Elmira where we resided until the year 1835 when the Michigan emigration
excitement broke out and we made up our minds, as our family was mostly sons then as it was almost impossible to get
land there for them, to come to Michigan in the hopes that they would settle around us. Accordingly, on the 20th day of
May 1835, we started from Southport with teams and went to a place called Horseheads, seven miles above Elmira where
General Sullivan lost his pack horse; this place derives its name by the affair. There we went on board of a scow boat to
27
the head of Seneca Lake where we went on board of the steamer, "Seneca", that towed seventeen ca**** boats to Geneva
where we were again three days on the road from Horseheads to Montezuma, where we went onto the grand canal line
boat to Buffalo and then we took passage on the steamer "Daniel Webster". There were about 500 passengers on board.
The lake was very calm and he had a splendid time. We arrived in Detroit the 4th of June where we met some old
acquaintances and friends and stayed overnight with them and they conveyed us with their teams on the morning of the
5th to Royal Oak, a distance of 12 miles, over the muddiest roads that I ever traveled on before or since to my memory.
The wagon would sink to the axletree in the mud in any spot. The men were obliged to pry the wagons out of many of the
sinkholes. We were all day coming from Detroit to Royal Oak, where we again met some old friends living where we
concluded to stop awhile. As we had not located any land yet, we stopped at this place near as I can remember about two
weeks and during that time my husband with some others started out (in the then) almost densely wooded wilderness in
search of our future home and made up his mind to locate on the land that I now live on. Accordingly as before, our
friends moved us to the neighborhood that I now live in; again we had a bad road from Royal Oak to Pontiac.
I will now say something about Pontiac at that time. As we stopped there to refresh ourselves and teams, it did not look at
that time as though it would make the place it is at the present time. There were no public or private buildings then of any
consequence. There were two small stores - one kept by Schuyler Hodges and the other by Mr. Chamberlain. There were
two taverns - one was kept by Mr. Fuller and the other by the late Solomon Clone; they were old, rackety taverns, by no
means hotels. I believe that this is all that I can say about Pontiac, unless I should say something about the mud that was
nearly a foot deep and by no means fit for a person to walk across the street or at least many of the present time that live
in Pontiac would not like to try it. Again we left Pontiac and came on the turnpike as far north and west as what is now
called and known as the Williams' property. There we turned to the right and came up by Silver Lake north of Sashabaw
Plains where three or four families were living. Then we came on north in the neighborhood that I now live and stopped
and stayed at John Daines overnight and not wishing to be any trouble to others, my husband thought that he would look
around and find some temporary home until he could erect one upon our own land. When he happen to run across a man
who had the care of a lot of land having the body of a log house built upon it, which he told us we could move into if we
could get in it as there was neither door or window in it. Accordingly they cut a place for a door and Mr. Issac Coon lent
us some boards for a loose floor and then we moved into it and done our baking principally out-of-doors, as there was no
chimney or fireplace in the house. Mr. George Miller now owns the farm where this house used to stand.
We soon commenced to make some improvements on our own land and to fix to build a house which did not get finished
until sometime in October when we moved in. The winter following was very mild and we thought we had come to a
state that was free from cold weather. As this last winter has been, there is a great contrast between it and the ones of
1935-36. The winter of 1875 has been the coldest I ever experienced, provisions at that time (1835-1836) were very
scarce as hardly enough had been raised to supply the settlers. Flour was twelve dollars a barrel and other thing equally as
high, although we never suffered any to speak of for the want of necessaries of life. There was game of almost every
description that ever roamed the Michigan wild woods. There was also plenty of fish in the creeks and lakes for which
this part of the county is quite famous and which was a great help to the settlers. My husband, being quite a hand to
hunting, he could kill a deer at almost any time that he wished. At that time one could frequently see from fifteen to
twenty in droves. They were in good order and so they supplied us with tallow as well as meat. One could go out after
dark and hear the howling of the wolves in almost every direction. Their howls made it very hideous. The first winter that
we lived in our place, my husband caught seventeen for which he received twelve dollars per head bounty money. Our
nearest neighbor north of us was Jacob VanWagoner, who lived eight miles distant.
Our family consists of five sons and two daughters, all settled within the boundary of four miles with the exception of
one, who took a notion to travel and see more of the world before he settled down. He went to California fourteen years
since where he made a fortune of about thirty thousand dollars, but now resides in Pennsylvania. Our two eldest sons,
William and Wilson, settled on each side of us, but we have not escaped affliction and have been called upon to mourn
the loss of our two oldest children. Wilson died in 1862, aged 46 years; Mrs. Tubbs died in 1865, aged 51 years. My
husband died in 1868, aged 71 years. I still live on the old homestead and am blessed with many comforts of life that
many are deprived of with a measure of heath and strength for one of my age. I have 34 grandchildren and 29 greatgrandchildren; but I feel as though I am living on borrowed time. How much longer?"
Obituary in the Pontiac Bill Poster, March 1, 1876.
"It is our painful duty this week to announce the death of an another aged pioneer, which is that of Mrs. Malinda Bailey,
who died at the residence of her daughter, Mrs. Louisa Kingsley, Sunday evening, the 20th inst, in the 70th year of her
age. Mrs. B. was born in the year 1800, in the town of Argile, Washington county, N.Y., one mile from old Fort Edward,
and was married to Robert Bailey in 1815, and immigrated to the town of Independence in 1835, where in 1868, Robert
Bailey died. They lived to see their four sons and two daughters settled around them, enjoying the many comforts of life.
28
Mrs. B. was a member of the Christian church, and died expressing a complete and blessed hope beyond the tomb. Her
funeral sermon was preached at the Seymour Lake church by the Rev. Mr. Hedger, in presence of her relatives and
friends, who followed her remains to the Sashabaw Cemetery."

614. DEANTHEUM HUBBARD BRAINERD (Sylvester, Oliver, Eliakim, Gideon, James, Daniel) of Haddam,
Middlesex Co., Conn.; m., Sept. 30, 1829, Sally Marie Dickinson, b. Mch. 28, 1808, dau. of Darius and Anna (Hubbard)
Dickenson of Haddam. He was grand juror three years, board of relief one year, justice of the peace one year, road
commissioner three years. He and his wife with friends celebrated their golden wedding Sept. 30, 1879. Eighty relatives
and members of the family attended festivities. Four generations were present, including the father of Mrs. Brainerd,
Capt. Darius Dickinson, who was 94½ years of age. He was a Freemason, and probably the oldest member of that
fraternity in this state. Mr. Brainerd was 75 years old, and his wife 71 years old. For several years whe has had failing
eyesight, but during the past seven years she has made 30 bed quilts, one of which contains over 9,000 pieces; most of the
sewing had to be done with the work so near her face that at times it would seem impossible for her to escape injury. She
has done her household work alone through 50 years of domestic life, and reared a large family. He lived in Turkey Hill
district, Haddam.
Captain Brainerd was a leading ship builder on the Connecticut River for many years, building no less than 42 vessels
and sailing craft for George E. and William H. Goodspeed. He engaged in the business when only 18 years old, and at 21
was entrusted with the management of the shipyard. He was one of the first Connecticut men to have anything to do with
steam vessels, and was among the first to make the trip with the old steamboat "Enterprise." Of late years he has given
his attention to farming, and controls a large tract of land of 200 acres or more in Haddam, Conn.
Among the guests present was Capt. Chauncey Dickenson, a brother of Mrs. Brainerd, who was married the same day
with herself. A notable fact concerning the costumes worn was that Capt. Brainerd had on the same vest which he wore
29
on the day of his marriage. He also wore an old fashioned swallow-tail coat with brass buttons. Mr. Deantheum Hubbard

Notes for CHARLES WALKLEY:
From the Rochester (NY) Democrat and Chronicle.
February 27, 1903 - "Charles Walkley Crushed by Falling Tree Near Le Roy.
Charles Walkley, a well known resident of Genesee county, met a horrible death yesterday about five miles southeast
of Le Roy, and after the accident he survived but about an hour. Mr. Walkley had lived in the vicinity of Le Roy all his
life, and had worked as a farm hand on various farms. For the past few days he had been at work on the farm of Dio
Hanlon, and yesterday was engaged in cutting wood. In company with another man he started cutting down a large
maple tree. When the tree was nearly cut off it showed signs of falling and the men with great haste removed the saw
and started to get as far away as possible.
Walkley was the nearest and as the tree fell, it bounded up, striking him on the forehead with such force as to crush in
his skull. It was at first though that he had been instantly killed, but a few moments later it was found his heart was still
beating. He never spoke after being struck and probably did not realize what had hurt him. Word was sent to Le Roy
for a physician, but before he arrived Walkley was dead.
The unfortunate man was a native of Le Roy and was never married. When he was not working he made his home
with his brother , William Walkley, who resides south of Le Roy. His age was 54 years. Coroner F. L. Stone, of Le
Roy, was called and viewed the remains. It is probable that an inquest will not be held."

Notes for SYLVESTER BAILEY:
From the Wellsboro Gazette:
" FLASHBACKS; Wednesday, Feb. 26,1992 By: Phyllis Swinsick
A MAN CALLED VET
In the early history of our country the American government purchased land from the Iroquois Indians, including the
Northern Tier of Pennsylvania, for about $25,000, most of it in trade goods, and soon settlers made their way into the
region of Tioga, many arriving from New England. They were a hardy
lot of skilled and adventuresome woodsmen looking for a new frontier. It was a wild and woolly land of dense forests,
rugged terrain and many wiid animals, dangerous to the new residents and their live-stock but necessary as a means of
survival for their hides, meat, horns, sinew and tallow. It was
land that the legendary hunter Philip Tome of Pine Creek fame called a "howling wilderness."
One of the most memorable of the incoming pioneers. Noted for his endurance and remarkable hunting skill, was a man
named Sylvester Bailey, born in Connecticut in 1797, who came riding into the Tioga valley with his parents when he
was eight years old. Despite his youth, he rode all the way on a pony, his rifle in hand, and honed his hunting proficiency
during the long and hazardous journey over the Catskills, the Delaware and Armenia mountains to the mouth of Mill
Creek where the family settled.
Known by the nickname of Vet, he was a sturdy lad, fearless and self reliant By the time he was 12, he had killed 100
dear, his first panther and had cornered a bear in the family pig pen, winning that combat while his mother held a light.
He roamed the mountains barefooted in his search for game,
35
warming his feet occasionally by pulling off his cap and stepping into it. Bailey eventually married Mary Welch, by
whom he had seven children and established a home in Rutland. In 1831 he built a grist mill in Chandlerburg in Bailey
Hollow, later sold to Moses Crawford. But in addition to his business
he continued his hunting expeditions.
One time he set traps near the Present town of Mansfield- The next day he discovered a trap missing and followed the
trail to a mammoth white pine hollow log He cut a club six-feet long, entered the log poking at the animal holed up there,
a she-wolf. The wolf. cornered and enraged, bit off the club leaving the hunter with a stick only two feet long. according
to legend. Bailey backed out, revised his
strategy, stopped up the opening with logs and stones and chopped a hole where the wolf crouched. He captured her
ladyship alive along with seven little wolves, muzzled and tied up the mother, fastened the pups together, gathered up the
whole kit and caboodle and started for home, a distance of eight miles. The mother wolf, frantically struggling, succeeded
in seizing Bailey by the scalp, tearing his hair and skin loose from the top of his head. Despite his condition and blinded
by blood, he retied the wolf and finally reached home where his wife replaced his scalp with 90 stitches to complete
the patch work. He put a handkerchief on his head and the next day continued his usual duties. The mother wolf and two
of her pups became completely tame and followed him wherever he went.
Bailey was an expert tracker and wrestled bears, trapped wolves, shot elk and panthers and small game by the hundreds as
he roamed the woods He was also a deadeye sharpshooter, and one time he and a long-time friend, Apollis Pitts, and
others were returning from a rip-roaring logging bee when
the subject of marksmanship came up In a spasm of derring-do, Bailey placed an apple on his friend's head and shattered
the object from a distance of six rods. A friend indeed! In 1836, Bailey erected a sawmill on Elk Run and, along with his
frequent hunting trips, operated it until his death in 1852
Wayne Bailey, of Covington, is the great-great grandson of Sylvester Bailey and the above story is only a part of a
testimonial account by the hunter's family, neighbors and the news, given to Wayne in the 1960s by a Bailey relative,
Mildred Bryant of Mansfield. He also has a powder horn, carved
with the picture of a deer and the initials S. B. and dated 1818.
There are forty Bailey households listed in the 1992 Tioga County telephone directory and it seems certain, given the
number of his progeny and the proliferation of succeeding generations, that many of them are descended from this
intrepid pioneer Perhaps they are unaware that such an indomitable and legendary hunter is a branch on the Bailey family
tree - this man called Vet."
History of Tioga County, Pa., 1897:
In 1822 or 1823 William Rose erected a distillery at Roseville, which he operated eight or ten years. In 1825 Sylvanus
Benson, Hosea Howland and Barrett Clark, each had one-third interest in a saw-mill on Mill Creek, in the eastern part of
the township. About 1836 Sylvester Bailey, erected a saw-mill on Elk Run near the Sullivan township line. This he
operated until his death about 1852.

Notes for MARY POLLY WELCH:
Excerpted from: Lura DICKINSON & Nathaniel WELCH Family of Sullivan Township
Joyce M. Tice's Sullivan-Rutland Genealogy Project
Mary Welch was born in Vermont 1797. Polly died 1851 in Sullivan Township, Tioga County, Pennsylvania, at age 54.
Her body was interred 1851 in Bailey Family Cemetery, Rutland Township, Tioga County, Pennsylvania. I visited this
site Autumn 1993 with Joan NASH O'Dell. The grave sites are full of woodchuck holes, the stones are lying down,
broken, partially buried. No doubt, there are other stones here that are not identifiable. This is at the top of the hill in the
pasture across the road from the house, actually in Rutland Township within a few feet of the Sullivan township line. She
married Sylvester Bailey BEF 1820. I find no households in the 1820 census index labelled Sylvester Bailey.
Vet was born 1801 in Connecticut. Vet was the son of Constant Bailey and Abigail Unknown (Bailey). He married Mercy
Newberry 1851. Vet died 1851 in Sullivan Township, Tioga County, Pennsylvania, at age 50. Historical Note: . Mill

1832. It had a number of owners. In 1838 Albert Dewey erected a saw-mill in the eastern part of the township, which he
and George Dewey operated for a number of years. William Young, another early mill owner, built a mill about 1832
36
below Mainesburg on Corey Creek, near the Richmond township line. In 1844 Valorus O. Spencer erected a mill above
Mainesburg. Other early mill owners and lumbermen were: Stephen Palmer, who ran a mill in the eastern part of the
township; Peleg Doud, who erected one on the South fork of Corey creek, on what is now the George Ross farm, and
Sylvester Bailey, who erected one in Bailey Hollow. All these mills were run by water power, the flutter wheel being the
one generally used. They have passed out of existence, except the mill near the State Road, now operated by Edward
Dewey.
Vet was listed as the head of a family on the 1830 Census in Sullivan Township, Tioga County, Pennsylvania. Historical
Note: . "In 1831 Sylvester Bailey erected a water-power grist-mill in Bailey Hollow, near Chandlersburg. About 1840 he
sold it to Moses Crawford who operated it for a number of years. It shut down about twenty years ago, O. W. Palmer
being the owner at the time."
Vet was listed as the head of a family on the 1840 Census in Rutland Township, Tioga County, Pennsylvania. In the
Census of 1850, Vet was listed as a head of household in Rutland Township, Tioga County, Pennsylvania. Vet had his
will probated 22 DEC 1851 in Rutland Township, Tioga County, Pennsylvania. Adm. Moses Crawford. Later others
appointed, Wm. A. Clark, Benjamin. W. Bailey. The Bailey property was on the boundary of Sullivan and Rutland
Townships. Rutland was formed from Sullivan in 1829.
According to records of Jeanette Bailey (Rose), Sylvester had two children by mistress, Mercy Newberry, names Butler
and Lafayette. Mercy lived with Sylvester's household in 1850 census. She may have been brought to the household as a
"hired girl" which was the term used at the time for household employees. Mary died in 1851 and Sylvester in 1852.

"Died, at his residence in this village Thursday, June 7th, 1894 at 10:30 o'clock p.m., Virgil M. Rose, aged 86 years. He
retired to his bed about 10 o'clock feeling exceedingly well, in fact, better than he had for some time past. He ate a hearty
supper and was cracking jokes with members of the family in the early part of the evening. Mrs. C.J. Gregory, his granddaughter had to pass by his room later in the evening and was horrified to find him dead. He had only been dead a few
moments when found. Justice Stors empaneled a jury which, after viewing the remains rendered a verdict that the
deceased came to his death from the effects of old age. The funeral was held at the house Monday, June 11th, conducted
by Rev. A. Wood and the remains taken on the 11:45 train to Pontiac and laid to rest beside his wife, who had proceeded
him by about twenty-five years. Two children are left to mourn his loss, Mrs. Harriett Dows, of Cleveland, Ohio and Mrs.
Mariva Hodges of Pine Lake. The following relatives were present from a distance. Mrs. H. Dows, of Cleveland, Mariva
A. Hodges of Pine Lake and Wm. Saunders of Howell. Deceased was born in Manchester, Vt., in 1808 where he lived
until he was 11 years of age. He then moved with his parents to Roseville, Pa., removed from Roseville to Detroit in
1834, came to Royal Oak in 1835 and purchased a large tract of land from the government and has resided here ever
since. There was seven children in his father's family, five boys and two girls, all of whom have passed away. Mr. Rose
was one of the oldest pioneers in the county, having lived to see it advance from a howling wilderness in the 30's, infested
by Indians and wild animals, to what it is at the present time, one of the best agricultural counties in the state."
From the Royal Oak Tribune, May 18, 1926
"The Pleasant Ridge village commission last night awarded a contract to R.D. Baker Company for the paving of Virgil
Rose avenue." There is, unfortunately, no longer a street by that name in Pleasant Ridge.

Seventh street, caught fire late Monday afternoon, and the entire roof was burned off. The rest of the building was
saved by the quick and efficient work of the Royal Oak Fire department. A defective chimney was said to have caused
the fire. As a result of the delay caused in this case, fire department officers ask that persons who telephone fire alarms
be very careful about giving the correct address. It may mean the loss of a home while the department is going on some
wild goose chase looking for an address that was carelessly given."
August 9, 1927 - "Mrs. Rosina Rose, age 83, died at her home, 117 East Seventh street, yesterday. Funeral services will

1808884, and died 02 Oct 1882884.
Notes for CLARK WILSON BAILEY:
From The History of Tioga County, Pennsylvania, 1897.
Clark W. Bailey was born in Tioga Township, Tioga county, January 12, 1806 and was the eldest son of Roswell and
Lucinda Bailey. He grew up amidst pioneer surroundings, and attended school in the old-fashioned log school house of
early days. When twenty-one years of age he purchased a farm near Whitney's Corners, near Charleston township, and
later formed a partnership with R.G. White, erected a large steam saw-mill, and engaged in the lumber business on an
extensive scale. In 1857 he removed to Mansfield, where he purchased a grist-mill, and the following year built a waterpowered saw-mill, both of which he operated until 1866, when he sold out to his sons, Thomas H. and Justus W. He also
owned and operated a foundry in Mansfield, and was one of its most prominent business men for many years. He was
instrumental in establishing the Mansfield Seminary, was a liberal supporter of all public enterprises, and an earnest
member of the Methodist Episcopal church. On May 13, 1827, Mr. Bailey married Vesta Judd, of Binghampton, New
York, to which union were born ten children, as follows. Sara L., Roswell G., Julius M., Wesley V., Thomas H., Emily J.,
Julia A., Justus W., Clarissa V., and Clark B. Mr. Bailey died at the home of his son, Julius M., December 22, 1881. His
widow survives until October 2, 1882, dying at the age of seventy-four years.
From the Tioga Eagle.
December 9, 1846 - "Strayed or Stolen!
From the premises of the subscriber about the first of September last, thirty head of SHEEP, of various marks, some hole
in one ear, some slit in the ear, some marked with tar, "J.W." and other marks not recollected, having been purchased of
sundry persons, and consequently different marks are upon them. If any person or persons, having taken up said sheep,
and will return them to the subscriber, all reasonable charges will be allowed. CLARK W. BAILEY. Charleston, Nov.
25th, 1846."
Researcher note: The next sketch concerns the father of Thomas Bailey, Clark Bailey. We know quite a bit about Clark,
too, but there is some useful info here. The list of children conforms pretty much to what we have but does list a son,
Chester Bailey. I believe this may be an error as I'm unable to confirm this in any other source. It does, however, list two
daughters, but not by name, only by who they married - Julian Langdon and William Hollands. After a good deal of
searching, I found that the name Julian Langdon is an error, too. It was actually Ormus Langdon and the Clark Bailey
daughter who married Ormus was Julia Bailey. It was Clark's daughter Clarissa Bailey who married William Hollands.
We do currently show both Julia and Clarissa as daughters of Clark Bailey.
Sketches from History of Cambria County, Pennsylvania by Henry Wilson Storey, 1907.
"Clark Bailey, son of Roswell Bailey, was born in Connecticut, whence he migrated to Mansfield, Tioga county. He was
a lumberman, and erected a large fiouring mill, being one of the leading business men of

Notes for JOHN W. BAILEY:
A biographical sketch appearing in the History of Tioga County, 1897.
JOHN W. BAILEY was born in Charleston township, Tioga county, Pennsylvania, November 2 7, 1824, eldest son of
Roswell and Julia A. (Rockwell) Bailey, pioneers of this county. His boyhood days were spent on his father's farm and
his primary education was obtained in the common schools of the district. But sixteen years, old when his father died, he
succeeded him in charge of the old homestead. In later years he purchased about 600 acres of land and engaged in cattledealing, probably buying and shipping more stock than any other man in the northern tier during that period. In 1870 he
removed to Wellsboro, where he soon became one of the prominent and enterprising citizens. He dealt extensively in
agricultural implements and lumber for twenty years, and always gave the most liberal credits to his patrons. Mr. Bailey
was a member of the firm that established the tannery at Stokesdale, and was an active agent in the building of the
Corning, Cowanesque and Antrim, and the Pine Creek railroads, being a director of the latter company. He was also a
director in the United States Glass Company, and one of the organizers of the First National Bank of Wellsboro, in which
institution he was an honored and trusted director until his death. Always ready and willing to take a leading part in every
public enterprise which he believed would promote the interest of Wellsboro, and ever on the alert to encourage any
project that might add to the general welfare of his native county, Mr. Bailey won the admiration, respect and confidence
of the whole people. He was eminently adapted to command the co-operation and support of` his fellowmen, as he always
went into whatever he undertook with earnestness, enthusiasm and confidence, thus inspiring others with his own
sentiments. Possessing unbounded public spirit, whole-souled generosity and broad charity, he never turned a deaf ear to
the cry of suffering or distress. A warm, consistent friend of the working classes, he was honored and trusted by them to
46
the close of his life. While accumulating a large estate, he gave liberally to religion, charity and education, and was one of
the most generous citizens of Wellsboro throughout his long and active business career. Mr. Bailey wielded a wide
influence in the local councils of the Democratic party, and was a stalwart in his fealty to its principles and candidates, He
was chairman of the county committee a number of years, represented the county in several state conventions, and was a
delegate to the national convention at Chicago in 1.892. He served in the borough council several terms, and also filled
the offices of burgess and school director, always taking a deep interest in the growth of the public school system.
OnChristmas Day, 1843. Mr. Bailey married Margaret L, Lewis, a daughter of Thomas Lewis, of Charleston township.
She was born October 17, 1827, and died November 19, 1883, after a happy companionship of nearly forty years. They
became the parents of twelve children, ten of whom grew to an adult age as follows., Eva A., wife of Dr. M. L. Bacon, of
Wellsboro, Edward, deceased; Llewellyn L., of Wellsboro; Ada B., deceased wife, of Louis Doumaux; Morton S., a
resident of Colorado; Lloyd J., of California; Leon 0., who lives in Indiana; Lee M., deceased; Fred W, a resident of
Denver, and Mildred L. On November 28. 1889, Mr. Bailey married Mrs. Julia McClelland, a daughter of Michael
Dunkle, of Jersey Shore, who yet survives. He died July 12, 1892, soon after his return from the Democratic National
Convention, and was buried with Masonic honors, as he was a member of Ossea Lodge, No, 317, F, & A. M. The whole
community sincerely mourned the death of one whose place could not be easily filled- -a man whose warm, friendly
greeting and substantial assistance brought sunshine into many a weary and discouraged heart. On the day of his funeral
the stores and shops in Wellsboro were closed and a large delegation of workingmen marched in the funeral procession as
a mark of respect to his memory.
From Encyclopedia of Biography by John W. Jordan, 1914.
"John W., son of Rozel and Julia. (Rockwell) Bailey, was born November 27, 1824, on his father's farm, in Charleston
township, Tioga county, Pennsylvania, and for many years engaged in agricultural pursuits. At the division of his father’s
estate he recompensed the other heirs for their interest in the land, of which he thus became sole owner. This ancestral
possession he preserved intact to the close of his life, and it is now the property of his descendants, About 1870 Mr.
Bailey moved to Wellsboro, becoming one of the leading business men of that place, He was a director of the Pine Creek
Railway Company, the United Glass Company, the Stokesdale Tannery, and a number of other enterprises in most of
which he was the leading spirit. In 1864, when the First National Bank of Wellsboro was organized, he became one of its
directors and served in that capacity to the close of his life. He was one of the largest landowners in the county, and was
greatly beloved for his liberality in business enterprises and for his practical charities. In politics he was an ardent
Democrat, never seeking office, but always giving his best efforts for the success of the party. The year of his death he
was a delegate to the National Convention in Chicago which gave Grover Cleveland a third nomination for President of
the United States. It is strong evidence of the respect and confidence with which Mr. Bailey was regarded in his home
town that in a community always thoroughly opposed to him in politics he was repeatedly elected councilman and
burgess, He was a man of fine appearance, with a countenance strongly expressive of those sterling traits of character by
which he was distinguished.
Mr. bailey married, in 1843, Margaret Lewis, a native of Glarmorganshire, Wales, daughter of Thomas and Martha
(James) Lewis, and their children were: Eva, Edward, Llewellyn, Lloyd, Ada and Ida (twins), Morton S., Associate
jus¬tice of the Supreme Court of Colorado; Leon Orlando, mentioned below; Edith; Lee; Frederick W., ex-Senator, and
prominently engaged hi banking and insurance in Denver, Colorado; Mildred, wife of a well known publisher of Leipsic,
Germany. John W. Bailey died July 12, 1892, deeply and sincerely mourned by all classes of the community. He was one
of whom it could be truly said that in every relation of life he always sustained the character of a true man."

Notes for MARGARET L. LEWIS:
From the Wellsboro Agitator.
Nov. 20, 1883 - "Last evening, Mrs. Margaret L. Bailey, wife of John W. Bailey, of this borough, died at her home, after
an illness of about two weeks, from congestive apoplexy which followed bilious fever. Mrs. Bailey's maiden name was
Lewis, and she was born at Munworthshire [should be Monmouthshire], South Whales, in 1837 [should be 1827]. She
came with her father, Thomas Lewis, and family to New York city in 1833, where they remained six years. The family
then came to Charleston township and located on a far. On Christmas day, 1843, John W. Bailey and Margaret L. Lewis
were married and they settled on the Bailey homestead at Dartt Settlement, in Charleston township. Unto them twelve
children have been born, ten of whom are now living. About fifteen years ago the family moved from the farm to this
borough where they have since resided. Mrs. Bailey united with the Baptist Church in New York city, where she retained
47
her membership until coming to Wellsboro, where she immediately united with the Methodist Episcopal Church. Mrs.
Bailey's life has been an active one and full of toil and self denial for her family. Her Christain ???tude, kindness of heart
and sympathetic nature endeared her to all who knew her. The funeral will be held at her late residence at two o'clock
tomorrow afternoon."
In the "History of Colorado" a sketch on Margaret's son, Morton S. Bailey, it states that his mother Margaret Lewis
Bailey, was born in Merthyr Tydfil, rather than the Monmouthshire of other sources. These are separate boroughs of
Wales, Merthyr Tydfil being several boroughs west of Monmouthshire.

Notes for LEE WOODWARD BAILEY:
From the Wellsboro Agitator.
September 9, 1884 - "Mr. Lee W. Bailey, son of J.W. Bailey of this borough has placed on exhibition in the window of
the First National Bank a fine crayon portrait of the founder of the New York Medical University. Mr. Bailey
completed his art studies about two years ago and now has a studio in New York city."
March 10, 1885 - "Mr. Lee W. Bailey, son of Mr. John W. Bailey, of this borough, has opened an art studio at 1267
Broadway, New York. The Deaf Mutes' Journal says the rooms are handsomely decorated with works of art and it
predicts a prosperous career for the young artist, who has fought against odds in obtaining his education."
May 24, 1887 - "The New York Deaf Mutes' Journal contains the following personal item regarding a well-known
Wellsboro boy: "Lee W. Bailey, artist, has taken a studio in the Sloane building, corner of Broadway and 32nd street,
and the highness of the rent would seem to show his artistic ability was much sought after."
August 27, 1889 - "Yesterday about noon Mr. Lee W. Bailey died at the home of his father, John W. Bailey, in this
borough, of consumption. The young man came home from Europe in failing health, resulting from a cold contracted in
the Alps. He had intended to spend three years in Rome and Paris in the study of painting, but was forced to return to
his home after only a few months stay in the old country. Since the age of seven years Lee had spent most of his time at
New York city in a school for the deaf and dumb, giving especial attention to the study of art, for which he seemed
particularly fitted. He was twenty-five years of age. He was a bright and talented young man, and, considering his
disabling infirmity, he was wonderfully self-reliant. He realized fully that he must die, and for weeks he had longed for
the summons to come. The funeral is to be held tomorrow morning at eleven o'clock."

death. Don't think she is buried both places but I'm unable to find which is correct. Unfortunately neither the Wellsboro

1812. His parents, Lebbeus and Hannah (Matthews) Tubbs, were natives of Orange Co., N.Y. After their marriage they

mother died about 1853. Mr. Tubbs has been an agriculturist during the greater part of his active life. He was a resident of
his native county until he was 32 years of age. In May 1844, he settled in Oakland Co., Mich., where he rented different
farms for a period of four years, after which he removed to Genesee Co., Mich., and settled upon 160 acres of wild land.
He spent 16 years in its improvement, and at the end of that time sold our and made another transfer to Oakland County.
He bought 240 acres of land in the township of Highland, and resided thereon until the spring of 1869 when he again
disposed of his property and removed to Fentonville, Genesee Co., Mich. He was in impaired health, and he spent one
year in that village in comparative idleness to regain health and strength. In the spring of 1871, he purchased a hotel in
Holly, Oakland County, which he retained and managed nearly two years. He again sold out and in the fall of 1873 he
came to Isabella County and became the proprietor of the hotel which he is now conducting, and which is the most
prominent public house in Loomis. In regard to national affairs, he is a Democrat, and cast his first Presidential vote for
Andrew Jackson. Mr. Tubbs was first married in his native county, in December 1833, to Charlotte Bailey, a native of the
same county. She bore him four children - Robert B, Melinda, Fletcher and Alice G. The second named died when she
was 24 years old. The mother died April 17, 1865 in Oakland County. Mr. Tubbs was again married, in the last county,
Aug. 8, 1866, to Jeanette Maxwell. She was born Jan. 11, 1834 of Scotch ancestry. Mrs. Tubbs is a lady of more than

From the Oakland Press.

and somewhere on the way his horses got frightened and ran away, throwing him out against the fence, cracking his
56
skull and breaking two ribs."
1894-03-16 - "Sunday night, March 4, as Robert Bailey with James Riley and John Elwell was going to the Free
Methodist church his horses became frightened and started to run, one of them kicking over the pole and breaking it.
The pole ran into the ground, stopping the wagon suddenly and throwing Mr. Bailey on the fence, cracking his skull,
braking six ribs and his wrist. He was taken home and Dr. Atchison of Ortonville sent for. He, with Dr. Howard of
Osford, performed and operation Tuesday but without doing any good, and he died at noon Thursday. The funeral was
held at the church Sunday, Rev. Walker officiating. The Maccabees attended in a body, he being a member of that
order and insured with them for $2,000. He leves a wife and two children."
1894-03-16 - "The Sunday school held at the Bigelow school house was postponed last Sunday to the 18th at 2 o'clock
p.m., out of resp[ect for assistant superintendent and bible class teacher, Robert Bailey, whose funeral services were
were held at Seymour Lake on that day. Although Brother Bailey had labored with us but a few months in the school
all had learned to love and esteem him for the christian zeal and energy displayed in the performance of his duties. As a
tribute of respect for his valuable work the school presented a cross nicely trimmed with delicate folowes of which he
was a great lover in life."

Notes for EDWIN J. BAILEY:
From a Pontiac, MI newspaper.
1874-01-28 - "Mr. E. J. Bailey, our school director [Independence] announced to the public that Mr. Graham and others
would deliver temperance lectures on Friday evening, Feb. 6th."
1878-03-27 - "On Wednesday morning a house belonging to E. J. Bailey was discovered to be on fire. Investigation
showed that a considerable amount of floor and partition had been burned, and the fire was working its way in places but
was soon extinguished. Tramps are talked of. Just a week later fire was discovered in the kitchen and wood shed of the
house owned by Wm. Bailey. The fire had gained considerable headway, and the house was soon consumed. The
furniture on the first floor only was saved. The property was insured for the amount of $1500. The origin of the fire is a
mystery, as the family has always been very careful."
1878-05-29 - "Mr. and Mrs. E. J. Bailey are called to mourn the loss of two of their children, a boy aged 5 years and a girl
of about three years of age, who died of diphtheria on the 11th and 12th insts., respectively, and their remains buried in
the Seymour Lake cemetery on the 12th and 13th. Our district school has been closed for the present, in order that the
disease may not spread."
1879-06-04 - "E. J. Bailey has taken up and reburied his 6 children that he lost a year ago with the throat disease."
1881-12-14 - "The Clarkston Grange held their annual election on the 3rd inst., and the following officers were elected . .
. Lecturer, E. J. Bailey . . . Chaplain, Hersh Bailey."
From the Weekly Bill Poster, August 4, 1880.
"BAILEY LAKE - During the rain, hail and thunderstorm that passed over this place last week considerable damage was
57
done to the oats and corn crop, and several buildings. Mr. E.J. Bailey's barn and sheds were struck by lightning, and with
contents burned to the ground. Loss, $1,000.00, insurance $800, in Oakland County Insurance Co. It will be remembered
that this is the same Mr. Bailey that buried six of his children in one month two years ago. For the past four years Bailey
Lake settlement has been visited by remarkable and destructive fires that can not be accounted for. One John Black, had
his house burned, Ranson Johnson, Wm. Bailey, P.H. Smith had their houses burned, and Whinfield S. Bailey had his
house partly destroyed by fire; and now comes Mr. E.J. Bailey's barn, with nearly all his wheat crop burned to ashes.
During the late storm Joe Case's barn was blown to pieces by the wind, and considerable damage done to old Joe Ross'
crops and fences."

LEWIS1377,1378,1379,1380 Abt. 18831381. He was born Sep 1852 in PA1381,1382,1383.
Notes for REV. LEANDER MILES LEWIS:
From the Tyrone Daily Herald (Tyrone, PA)
April 15, 1896. - "Rev. Leander M. Lewis was received from the presbytery of Pittsburg and he has accepted a call from
the churches of Sinking Valley and Lower Spruce Creek."
From the History of Arch Spring Presbyterian Church by S. Gilson.
"Two miles up the valley, back from Union Furnace, is the Sinking Valley church, and near by is the charming rural
parsonage, recently taken possession of by the new pastor of the church the Rev. L.M. Lewis, for many years settled at
Canonsbury. The manse and glebe are unsurpassed in themselves and with the towering mountains all around, by any I
ever saw in the Highlands of Scotland. The immediate approach is through a beautiful grove of tall pines, oak and maple,
where the birds hold constant concerts and the squirrels chirp and play all day. The stream is full of trout and the
mountain full of game. On the occasion of my visit the first day of July the fence corners of the meadows and wheatfields
furnished ripe raspberries in abundance, the huckleberries, mulberries, wild gooseberries and Juneberries were in their
glory, with the prospect of an inexhaustible supply of blackberries."
An additional article on Rev. Lewis will be found in the History of Canonsburg United Presbyterian Church.

Notes for WILLIAM H. WALKLEY:
From The Roseman Lawrence Family by Mrs. A. Lawrence Jinks, 1965.
79. William H. Walkley, son of Asahel and Eliza - - - - Walkley, was born in LeRoy, 1841. This birthdate is from the
1860 census for LeRoy but his tombstone says 1837. He married - - - - O'Neil.
William H. Wakeley, or Uncle Bill or Aged Bill, as he was known about LeRoy, was a soldier in the War of the
Rebellion, Co. D., 151 Regiment, New York Infantry. William was a character about LeRoy and he loved his bottle. He
was well known and not much attention was paid to him or his drinking. A story is told about him going to Rochester,
N.Y. and the police picked him up for vagrancy. Uncle Bill said "You can't do this to me. Don't you know who I am?" He
reminded them he was a "privileged character". They replied, "You may be a privileged character in LeRoy but you are
not in Rochester." Under the date line of Sept. 21, 1910, the Democrat and Chronicle states he was arrested the week
before because he went to sleep on a veranda and was sentenced to sixty-one days in the Monroe County Penitentiary but
arrived home the night before, having been released, pending an appeal of his case. Bond to the amount of $400.00 was
furnished by John Heimlich and P.H. Gallagher. Many people in LeRoy thought his sentence too severe as he was a
veteran and harmless. A petition for his release was signed by a large number of LeRoyans. As far as I could learn he
stayed thereafter in LeRoy and remained its "Privileged Character". He delighted to tell about his war services and show
his war badge and ribbon.
Wm.H. Walkley died November 21, 1923 and is buried in East Main Road cemetery, LeRoy, N.Y. An 1861-1864
marker and flag is on his grave. His company and regiment number on his tombstone.

William Walkley, a veteran of the Civil War, was taken into custody on Wednesday night by Officer Halstead. A police
alarm was sent in from Trigon Park, where it was claimed by residents of that vicinity that he was sleeping on a porch.
Justice Macpherson sent him to the Monroe County Penitentiary on Thursday morning for 61 days.
Walkley returned to Le Roy on Monday evening, having been released upon a bond of $400, furnished by John
Helmlech and Potter H. Gallagher. An appeal was taken in Walkley's case on grounds of excessive sentence and legal
errors, Justice William W. Clark, of Wayland, before whom the case was appealed, allowing Walkley his freedom under
bonds. The date for a hearing on the appeal has not yet been fixed. It will come up before Judge Washburn.
Charles B. O'Connell was Mr. Walkley's attorney. A petition containing quite a number of signatures of Le Royans,
asking for Walkley's freedom, was presented to Justice Clark.

Notes for STEPHEN WALKLEY:
From The Roseman Lawrence Family by Mrs. A. Lawrence Jinks, 1965.
80 . Stephen Walkley, son of Asahel and Elizabeth Walkley, was born in LeRoy, census record 1844 - death notice 1842
(LeRoy Gazette, December 22, 1909). When his Aunt Eunice Walkley's estate was probated, he was living at Akron, Eris
Co., N.Y. Some member of the family gave me the names of his two sons and the dates of their births but no children
named in the death notice under his survivors. He enlisted in the Civil War in the army and fought through most of the
war. In 1906, he entered the Soldiers Home at Bath, N.Y. and died there, Wednesday, December 15, 1909. His death was
due to general decline. The funeral was held December 17th and interment was in Bath. His survivors were a brother and

was born 20 Aug 1835 in PA1773,1774.
Notes for MILLER WALKLEY:
From the LeRoy Gazette.
March 2, 1864 - Frightful Runaway. Another team, with its driver, had a narrow escape from fatal demolition on
Tuesday, caused by the unwarrantable sport of snow-balling in the public streets.
Miller Walkley was driving a pair of spirited horses through Main street, when they became frightened at being hit with
snow-balls, and giving the mastery of the reins, went through town under full pull, smashing carriages and narrowly
escaping pedestrians on the street. Mr. Walkley was thrown out, and severely hurt. Richard Walkley, the owner of the
team, manfully came forward and ordered the broken carriages to be repaired at his expense, and then set to work to
recover his own damaged team.
How long will the practice of snowballing teams be permitted? Are life and limb, and the destruction of teams of no
account, when compared with the sport of throwing snowballs? Will the Trustees give this subject their attention?

three of whom died in 1877, of diphtheria, within a period of three weeks. Another daughter, Minnie, wife of E. E.
Wood, was taken away in 1904, only two remaining, ida and Dee, who remain upon the farm. A stepdaughter, Mrs.
Henry Smith, resides at Big Pond. In April, 1906, Mrs. Watson was stricken with organic heart trouble, and during the
past six months also suffered from spinal ataxia, which was the immediate cause of her death. Mrs. Watson was an
earnest Christian woman, faithful and true in her devotion to her Lord, and of unselfish service to those around her.
Many are the lives that have been made better, and the hearts that received encouragement as a result of her tender
ministry. She was a faithful member of the Baptist church. The funeral was held from the home on Monday, October 21,
80
and was conducted by her pastor, the Rev. S. Harrett, assisted by the Rev. S. Earley, who spoke tenderly of his

Notes for IDA ROSE WATSON:
From the Minnie Kenyon Scrapbook.
WATSON, IDA ROSE
The subject of this sketch was born in Rutland township, now Roseville borough, on July 17, 1854, and was the eldest
of six children born to Daniel and Clarina Watson, both deceased. Her childhood and adult years woe passed with her
parents until their decease, to whom she was always a dutiful and loving daughter, affectionately ministering to their
wants during all their declining years, and afterwards with her brother, D. E. Watson, helping to maintain the old home,
which has always been a mecca to many a wayfarer. Being the eldest of the children she early learned to assume
responsibilities, and cares, to which she never afterwards was a stranger.
Early in her adult life she became a Christian and uniting with the local Baptist church by baptism, she was ever
consistent in her life with the profession she had made, striving always to follow in the footsteps of the Master whom
she loved to serve, and being always "instant in season and out of season." Many times has the remark been made
other: "If ever there was a Christian, she is one." Being largely endowed with that rare commodity, common sense, her
counsel was often eagerly sought and cheerfully given to all who felt thrir need of it, and no one was better qualified to
assist in the transacting of many varieties of business. Her former pastor, while delivering his sermon at her funeral,
made the statement that whenever he felt borne down with cares and trials which sometimes would hedge his way. he
would say: "Well, I will go and talk with Ida about it," and would go away relieved of his burden. Truly, one of God'"
chosen one has gone home. In the community, in her large circle of friends, and in the church, there is a vacancy that
cannot be filled, and to her sister, Mrs. Henry H Smith; to her brother, D. E. Watson, to Russel Watson, for whom she
has cared, and been a mother since his early infancy, and to her nephew and nieces, has come an irreparable lossSurely, we humbly and sincerely thank God for Ida, for her unblemished life, for her Christian character, and for her
Christian influence and example, which she always unconsciously exerted. (Can't read next line) great desire to hear
Billy Sunday, she went. on Saturday. April 4, to Scranton, and, after securing a boarding place, went in the evening to
attend service in the Sunday tabernacle. She returned, after the service, to her boarding place, and, feeling very much
fatigued, and complaining of a pain in her left side, said she would retire, remarking she though she would feel better
after resting, requesting out she be called by 8:30 o'clock in the morning so she could attend the service. Not hearing
anything from her, the lady of the house rapped at her door, and getting no response pushed it open and found her
81
apparently sleeping. Approaching her and placing her hand upon her face. she found she was dead. Truly, she had gone
to sleep on earth to awaken in Heaven--an end she had earnestly desired, and coming apparently without suffering. Her
funeral was held from her late home on Thursday, April 9, at 11 o'clock a.m. her fanner pastor, the Rev. Seymour
Barrett, officiating, taking for his text, "She is not dead but sleepeth." Luke 8:52. He was assisted by the Revs. Johnson
and ?uscomb. and notwithstanding the almost impassable condition of the roads, the large attendance of saddened and
sorrowing people attested the high esteem in which she was held.

hanging full of red and white blossoms, each on a separate stock, but all from the same root. Five years since the slip was

demented. Her story as told in court is too horrible for publication. Last Thursday S. C. Peters, A.W. Davis, Clark Rose
and John Campbell, managers, together with fifty attaches, were arrested and jailed to await examination."
From a March 12, 2007 response by Fred Dahlinger in the Olympians message board.

Boyd and Peters Great Transatlantic Allied Shows was an overland show organized in Royal Oak, Michigan in 1878. The
principals were Orlando Boyd and S. C. Peters (cameo biographies are available on the CHS website in Slout's
"Olympians.") They apparently returned to Royal Oak for the winters of 1878-1879 and 1879-1880, building a modest
winter quarter there. The show was having financial difficulties in June 1880. An alleged case of assault the next month
brought the operation to a close, despite everyone being acquitted.

is quoted with reference to the location and type of property originally owned by Ransom as follows: "Justice Richard H.
Rose, in discussing the remarkable rise in the value of Royal Oak real estate, recalls that his father sold 40 acres in
Ferndale just south of the Machpelah cemetery for about $1,000 about 40 years ago. The judge says that all it was good
for was to raise blue racers and mud turtles."

A front page story in the Clio Messenger, December 8, 1911 - "KICKED IN THE HEAD; SKULL IS FRACTURED.
ED. BURLEY MET WITH PAINFUL ACCIDENT - At Elevator Barn Yesterday Noon. Went to Hitch Up Team.
Found With Wound in Head and Horse Standing on Him. No Witness To Accident. Recovery Expected. - Ed Burley
one of the teamsters at P.M. Houghton and Co.'s elevator, met with a painful and serious accident yesterday noon that
might have proven fatal had he not been discovered in time. Mr. Burley went to the elevator barn after dinner to hitch
up a team and hadn't been gone from the office more than five minutes before word came that he had been kicked by
one of the horses. Attention was directed to the barn by the kicking of the horses and when others appeared on the
scene one of the horses had Mr. Burley under its feet. The unfortunate man was taken from his perilous position in a
semiconscious condition, and a physician was immediately summoned. On examination it was found that he had
received a fracture of the skull, the which, while serious, is not such as to cause alarm, for his recovery is confidently
expected in the course of time. As there were no other persons in the stable with Mr. Burley at the time of the accident
the cause and details are more or less supposition. It is thought that one of the horses kicked the unfortunate man in the
90
head and that he fell under them. After receiving proper attendance from the physician Mr. Burley was taken to his
home where at last reports he was resting as easily as could be expected under the circumstances. According to reports,
his was a most miraculous escape."
From the Royal Oak Tribune December 15, 1911. "Richard Rose received word from Clio Monday that his brother in

October 26, 1922 - "FIRE DESTROYS BURLEY RESIDENCE - A very destructive fire, and one attended with
unusually regrettable circumstances, took place at about 2 o'clock Wednesday afternoon, when the residence of Mr. and
Mrs. Ed. Burley was burned to the ground. The house was one of the best in town, but aside from the matter of loss, an
even sadder circumstance was that Mr. Burley, who had been seriously ill for a number of weeks, had to be carried
from his burning home to the home of a neighbor where he was cared for temporarily. The fire was discovered by Mrs.
George Hathley who, at the time, was on her way down town. As nearly as can be judged, the fire originated from a
spark which came from a chimney and found lodgement in the roof, burning its way through and setting a second story
room on fire. This seems to have been the case, because when the stairway door was opened, immediately after the
discovery of the fire, one of the upper rooms was found to be completely in flames. The fire department responded
promptly, but the fire had gained such headway that the chemical outfit was wholly inadequate to control it and for
some reason water was not immediately available. Several children and neighbors did valiant service in saving the
household effects on the first floor, but all of the goods on the second story, including most of Mr. and Mrs. Burley's
clothing and nearly all of the bedding in the house, was destroyed. Claude Rose, who had been making his home in the
Burley household for a number of months and whose room was on the second floor, lost all of his clothing and personal
effects, including mementoes of his trips to various parts of the country, none of which, as a matter of course, can be
replaced. The loss on the house and contents, over and above the insurance of $4,500, which we understand was
carried, must be considerable. Mr. and Mrs. Burley have taken up their residence in the Crawford home, not far distant
from their former one, and we are glad to state that both of them take the disaster with heroic courage and that Mr.
Burley'' condition does not appear to have been rendered worse than formerly. We are but voicing the sentiment of the
community when we say that everyone sympathizes most deeply with Mr. and Mrs. Burley in their trouble and loss."
November 7, 1922 - "The editor called on Ed. Burley, Sunday, and was pleased to find him considerably better than for
a number of weeks, being able to sit up in a chair. Ed's many friends will hear of the improvement in his health with
sincere pleasure."
November 7, 1922 - "William Rose, of Argentine, was a visitor at the home of Ed. Burley, Sunday."
November 23, 1922 - "Mrs. Will Rose of Argentine spent a few days the first of the week with Mr. and Mrs. Ed.
Burley."
December 28, 1922 - "William Rose and wife visited Mr. and Mrs. Ed. Burley, Sunday and Monday."

From Biographical Record: this volume contains biographical sketches of leading citizens of Oakland County, Michigan,

"WILLIAM M. HALL, one of the large land owners of Oakland County, resides on a fine farm of 158 acres in section 33,
Troy township, and also owns 210 acres in section 32, Troy township and 40 acres in section 22, Royal Oak township. Mr
Hall was born in 1839 in in the State of New York and came to Michigan in 1847 with his parents who settled in Macomb
County. He is a son of Horace and Abigail (Abbey) Hall, both natives of New York.
Horace Hall is now a highly esteemed, venerable resident of Birmingham, approaching his century milepost, having been
born May 9, 1814. Until 1875 he continued actively engaged in farming. For several years he conducted what is known in
the locality as the Six Mile House, on Woodward avenue. In his young manhood he belonged to the New York State
Militia. The mother was a daughter of James and Martha Abbey, was born April 27, 1810, and died April 6, 1900. Mr.
Hall has one sister, Susan Ann, who is the wife of John F. Stephens, of Birmingham.
98
William M. Hall was educated in the district schools and has been connected with agricultural pursuits ever since
boyhood. For some 20 years he was interested in the buying of stock. In 1874 he located in Troy Township, Oakland
County, and has occupied his present fine farm in section 33 for the past 19 years.
Mr. Hall was married in 1869 to Rebecca A. Rose, who was born in Brandon township, Oakland County, in 1840, and is
a daughter of Joseph Leonard and Charlotte (Bailey) Rose. Two children were born to them: Frank, who died in early
childhood, and Lotta Bell, who married Percy Parmenter of Troy township, Oakland County, and has three children, -Margeline, Ida Alvenia and Willebell.
Politically, Mr. Hall is a Democrat and has taken an active part for many years in public affairs in the township. He has
most efficiently filled many of the local offices and has been retained for five terms as supervisor of Troy township.
During this period many improvements have been inaugurated, many of these being directly traceable to Mr. Hall's
excellent judgement. For a number of years he has belonged to the Masonic Fraternity."
From a Birmingham, Oakland County newspaper obituary, Friday July 23, 1909.
"TAKEN SUDDENLY - William M. Hall Stricken With Apoplexy While Doing Chores on His Farm Saturday A.M. William M., popularly known as "Mark" Hall, answered the final summons while doing the morning chores on his farm
two and one-half miles east of this village on Saturday. Mr. Hall was in his usual rugged health when he started for the
barn at about 5 o'clock to do his usual morning work. He complained several times to his hired man of having a stiffness
in his arm, after milking a cow, and rested awhile. Just as he started to milk another animal he reeled and fell to the
ground. Dr. N.T. Shaw was called and pronounced the man dead, giving apoplexy as the cause.
Mr. Hall was born in New York State in 1839, and came to Michigan when he was 8 years old, settling with his parents
near what is known as the Six Mile Road later removing to Royal Oak, and almost 35 years ago to his farm in Troy. For
many years he traded in live stock and became widely known, but of late he has confined his labors to his magnificent
farm. Politically he was a Democrat and up to three years ago enjoyed the distinction of being the only one of his faith to
serve the town of Troy in the capacity of Supervisor. In 1890 he lacked less than half a dozen votes of being elected
Sheriff of the county. He is survived by a widow, one daughter, Mrs. Percy W. Parmenter of Troy (Charlotte B. Hall) ,
and an adopted son, John R. Hall of Boise City, Idaho. Funeral Services were conducted at 2 pm Tuesday by Rev. M.H.
Bartram of South Lyon asst. by Rev. C.A. Salyer of this village. Interment in Greenwood Cemetery."

January 24, 1902 - "John Hall, son of Mark Hall and his wife, Mrs. Minnie Gillett Hall, were visiting Mark Hall's last
Monday evening, spending the evening there and enjoying themselves, when Ralph Bayley hurriedly rode up to the
house and informed John that his house was on fire. Everybody hustled to the scene, but it was too late. The house and
every last thing the worthy couple possessed was burned and they lost all they owned except what they wore at the
time. Loss ? $2,300. Insured in the Monitor Insurance Co., but not enough to cover the loss by any means."
June 11, 1909 - "LIFE IN BALANCE. John R. Hall Struck by Big Auto While Alighting From a Street Car in Boise
City, Idaho. News has been received that the first serious auto accident in that place occurred at 11 o'clock one night
last week, when John R. Hall, a former well known resident of Troy, was run down and badly if not fatally injured.
Jack McDaniels, the chauffeur, claims that Hall swung from the car while in motion (which is denied) and he had no
idea that any one was about to leave it. He applied the emergency brake instantly, and though the clutch held it was too
99
late to keep from striking the victim with terrific force. Hall's wife was notified and and when the ambulance arrived
the brave little woman accompanied her injured husband to St. Luke's hospital and assisted the doctors and nurses in
caring for him. His injuries consist of a dislocated left shoulder, a compound fracture of the right thigh, a fracture of the
lower right leg, a deep cut in the left arm at the elbow, and severe cuts and contusions on the head and face. The
attending physicians announce that Mr. Hall may recover."

Notes for GEORGE MONTIE SAUNDERS:
From a Pontiac, MI newspaper.
1894-10-29 - "Geo. Saunders, of Stockbridge, Mich., was visiting relatives here [Royal Oak] this week."
From the Royal Oak Tribune.
July 2, 1915 - "George M. Saunders and Wert L. Saunders, of Howell, were the guests of their cousin, R. H. Rose, and
family, this week."
The obit of Alice Sarah Saunders reported that her brother, George Montie Saunders, died November 1, 1930. The death
certificate for George confirms this and also tells us that he was born March 17, 1857 in Marion, MI. He is shown here as
Montie George Saunders. Find-A-Grave, however, reports that he was George Montford Saunders and was born March
7. Burial in Lakeview Cemetery, Howell.

Notes for THOMAS H. BAILEY:
From the Wellsboro Agitator.
June 11, 1889 - Part of an article on the heavy flood damage in Tioga County. "Mr. Thomas H. Bailey, of Mansfield, lost
300,000 feet of hemlock and 100,000 feet of basswood and hardwood lumber, besides a lot of stovewood. This, together
with the loss of his saw-mill, pattern-shop and foundry, is a heavy blow to Mr. Bailey."
June 14, 1893 - From an article on various candidates. "Mr. Thomas H. Bailey, of Mansfield, the other nominee for
County Commissioner, was born in Charleston. For many years he occupied a prominent position as an enterprising
business man in Mansfield, and until by flood and fire he was stripped of the earnings of an industrious life he was too
busy to ask for a county office, although he held the office of Burgess in Mansfield for four consecutive years prior to his
election as County Commissioner three years ago."
February 12, 1896 - "Last Friday morning as the team and carriage of County Commissioner Thomas H. Bailey was being
driven around the corner of Pearl street and Central avenue the wheels slued into a rut and one wheel was shattered and
went down, and the occupants of the carriage - Mr. T.H. Bailey and her sister, Mrs. William Hillier, of Harrisburg, and
her daughter, Mrs. J.L. Robinson, and the driver George Brown - were pitched out and considerably bruised. No one was
108
seriously injured except Mrs. Bailey, whose back was strained. She has been laid up since, but she is now reported to be
improving. The horses were frightened and ran some distance, but no further damage resulted."
December 9, 1896 - "County Commissioner Thomas H. Bailey paid about $5,000 for the Allen hotel property at
Mansfield and it is considered a great bargain. In the deal Mrs Jane W. Allen took a house and a lot in Mansfield as part
payment. The hotel is rented until the first of April. While Mr. Bailey bought the property as an investment, he may
conclude to occupy the place himself in the spring."
From the History of Tioga County, Pennsylvania, 1897.
Thomas H. Bailey was born in Tioga township, Tioga county, December 1, 1839, and is the fourth son of Clark W.
Bailey. He was reared on the homestead farm, obtained a common school education, and after attaining manhood he
purchased a grist-mill from his father, which he operated until 1889. In 1866 he and his brother, Justus W., bought their
father's saw-mill and a few years later they also bought the foundry at Mansfield. A short time afterwards, Thomas H.
purchased his brothers interest in both industries, but the mills were swept away by the flood of June 1889, entailing on
Mr. Bailey a heavy loss. He purchased several large tracts of timber lands at different periods, some of which he still
retains. Mr Bailey was married September 30, 1868 to Josephine Hillier, a daughter of John Hillier, of Larry's Creek,
Lycoming county, and has two children, Sarah V., and Henry W. The family are members of the Methodist Episcopal
church, and Mr. Bailey is connected with the F.&A.M. and the I.O.O.F. societies. In politics he has been a life-long
Republican and one of the local leaders of his party. He was burgess of Mansfield for several years; a member of the
council for nine years, and a member of the school board for six years. For eighteen years he was one of the trustees of
the State Normal School at Mansfield, in which institution he has always taken a deep interest. In the autumn of 1896 he
was elected a county commissioner, and moved his family to Wellsboro the following spring. He was re-elected in the fall
of 1893, and served until the close of 1896. He then purchased the Allen Hotel in Mansfield and took charge of that house
in April, 1897, of which he is now proprietor.
From the Wellsboro Agitator.
April 1, 1903 - "Mansfield's New Postmaster.
Ex-County Commissioner Thomas H. Bailey received his commission as Postmaster at Mansfield last Thursday evening
and he took possession of the post-office on Friday morning. The contest over Mr. Bailey's appointment has been
continued since midwinter and it has engendered bitterness which will be lasting in the community. After his
recommendation there was a "hold up" on every turn, and two P.O. Inspectors were sent to Mansfield to investigate the
case pending the issuing of the commission. Their report was evidently not such as to stop the regular order and Mr.
Bailey is now properly commissioned for four years.
There is a sensational report about an altercation and personal encounter between Mr. Bailey and the retiring Postmaster
on Friday morning over the obsession of the case and other furniture. Not having the facts at hand, we are unable to give
details of the affair or its final adjustment. Anyway, Postmaster Bailey is in charge of the office and we assume that
Mansfielders are getting their mail as usual. It was the most bitter postoffice feud ever known in the county."
October 19. 1904 - "FIRE IN MANSFIELD. Hotel Allen Almost Totally Destroyed on Friday. Fireman Did Good Work
in Saving Adjoining Buildings - Partially Insured.
The Hotel Allen, located on the corner of Main and Wellsboro streets in Mansfield was almost totally destroyed by fire
early Friday morning. The building, a large three story wooden structure was owned by Postmaster and ex-County
Commissioner Thomas H. Bailey, who formerly conducted it and until a few days ago was occupied and run by Mr. E.A.
Thomas.
Landlord M.S. French, of the Hotel French, of that borough, recently leased the Allen of Mr. Bailey and expected to
occupy it soon. How the fire started is a mystery, as the building was unoccupied, having been closed for several days.
There had been no fires or lamps in the building during that time.
Mr. Bailey, who occupies rooms near the hotel, discovered the fire shortly after 3 o'clock a.m. He saw flames leaping
from the windows on the third floor and hurriedly sent in an alarm. The fireman quickly responded and did good work,
but the fire had gotten under such headway before they arrived that the building and contents could not be saved. The
adjoining buildings, the rear wing of the hotel and a part of the first story, were saved. The Welt Smith Shoe Company,
located next door to the Hotel Allen, removed all the stock from their building, but fortunately the fire was gotten under
control before it spread far enough to have damaged it. Part of the stock, however, was damaged by water.
Only two rooms on the lower floor were badly damaged, but the rear of the building and its contents were a total loss,
with the exception of the rear wing, containing the dining room and kitchen.
Mrs. T.H. Bailey, who was ill at the time of the fire, had to be carried out of her rooms in the second story of the Miller
& Shepard block next door to the hotel. Miss Carrie Holden lost nearly all her furniture and clothing, which was in the
109
hotel at the time. She had no insurance. A Normal student named Jackson became so excited during the fire that he was
prostrated by heart trouble, falling to the sidewalk, unconscious. He was taken to the office of Dr. Wood and a few
moments later restored to consciousness.
The loss is estimated at about $8,500 with $3,000 insurance on the building and $1,000 on the contents. It is not known
at this time whether or not the hotel will be rebuilt. A short time ago Mr. Bailey dropped $1,000 insurance on the building
and contents."

October 12, 1922 - "DEATH OF THOMAS H. BAILEY. Former Well Known Resident of Mansfield and Wellsboro
Dies. Thomas H. Bailey, aged 82 years, a former resident of Mansfield and Wellsboro and well known through the
county, died last Saturday at the home of his daughter in New York City. He had been in feeble health for some time
owing to his advanced years, and his death was not unexpected.
Mr. Bailey was born in Charleston, but had spent the greater portion of his life in Mansfield where he was engaged in
various business enterprises for several years. He was also the owner of a fine farm on what was known as the "Ore Bed"
road.
Mr. Bailey held several responsible positions of trust during his residence in Mansfield - Burgess and member of the
Council for several years, member of the School Board and one of the trustees of the State Normal School. He was also
postmaster at Mansfield for two terms. In the fall of 1890 he was elected County Commissioner, and moved his family to
Wellsboro the following spring. He was re-elected in the fall of 1893 and served until the close of 1896. He then
purchased the Hotel Allen at Mansfield and returned to that place to reside. During the past few years, Mr. Bailey had
been making his home at intervals with his daughter in New York, where he died, and with his son, Dr. Harry W. Bailey,
of Wellsboro.
The deceased was a member of the Mansfield Methodist Episcopal church, the F. & A.M., and the I.O.O.F. The funeral
was held at the Methodist church in Mansfield on Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock; interment at Mansfield."
Sketches from History of Cambria County, Pennsylvania by Henry Wilson Storey, 1907.
"Thomas H. Bailey, son of Clark and Vesta (Judd) Bailey, was born December 1, 1840, in Tioga county, and was reared
on a farm. He went into the lumber business at Mansfield, where he remained until 1889, when a disastrous fire destroyed
his saw mill and planing mill, also his foundry, and the June flood which followed swept away a large quantity of his
lumber. In 1897 he opened a hotel in Mansfield, which he conducted until 1900, when he was appointed postmaster of the
place, a position which he still retaìns. In 1891 he was elected county commissioner, and in 1894 was re-elected. For
fifteen years he served as burgess of Mansfield. He is a Republican, and a supporter of the Methodist Episcopal church.
Mr. Bailey married Josephine, daughter of John Hillier, of Jersey Shore, and they are the parents of two children: Sarah,
born 1872, wife of John L Robison, of Mechanicsburg; and Harry W., of whom later."
Researcher note: We currently show, based on a Tioga County history, that Thomas was born December 1, 1839.
Sketches from History of Cambria County, Pennsylvania by Henry Wilson Storey, 1907, says December 1, 1840. It also
contains a small error, stating that his daughter Sarah married John L. Robison. We correctly show John L. Robinson.

Notes for H. FRANK BROWN:
From the Wellsboro Agitator, September 9, 1891.
"He Forgot the Marriage License. The marriage of Mr. H. Frank Brown, of Corning, and Miss Grace A. Langdon, of
Mansfield, was announced to take place at the bride's home last Wednesday afternoon at two o'clock. The guests were
all assembled, the wedding feast was spread, and the bride and groom had donned their wedding garments when Rev.
David Keppel, the leader of the ceremonies, asked for the marriage license. The groom admitted that he had forgotten
all about that little business matter and then there was consternation all around.
The clergyman offered to help them out of the difficulty by going with the couple on the train to Lawrenceville and
performing the ceremony in New York State. But the bride's parents preferred to have their daughter married at home,
and they objected to anything which would look like dodging the law.
The groom therefore secured a livery rig and came to the county seat after the license and the grass didn't grow under
his feet either. It is presumed that he was not in as good humor as a man ought to be on his wedding day. The ceremony
was performed immediately upon Mr. Brown's return to Mansfield, and after being duly united according to law the
couple left for their new home at Corning."

Notes for GEORGE W. HOLLANDS:
From Landmarks of Steuben County.
GEORGE HOLLANDS was born in Sussex county, England, on January 9, 1841. His parents, William and Charlotte
Hollands, with a family of six children, came to this country in the year 1850. Soon after their arrival they found their
way to Mansfield. Tioga county, Pa.. where they have since resided. Four more children were born to them after their
arrival to this country. They are still living and enjoying reasonably good health and are in their eighty-fourth and eightyfirst year of age respectively. George Hollands, the subject of this sketch, at the age of eleven years found a home with a
respectable farmer, with whom he was to live until he was twenty-one years of age, with the understanding that he was to
receive a common school education and when he became of age he was to have a good suit of clothes and $100 in money.
Before arriving at the age of maturity, however, the war broke our, and in September, 1861, he left the farm and enlisted
in Co. B. 101st Pa. Vols., and served in the army for the period of three years and ten months, during which time he was
engaged in many important battles. He was wounded in the battle of Fair Oaks on May 81, 1862. and was taken prisoner
at the surrender of Plymouth. N. C.. April 20, 1864 He was an inmate of Andersonville and Florence prisons until the
following December, and has never recovered from the exposure and suffering of that terrible
summer. He was shipwrecked in the Potomac River while on his way to join his regiment in April, 1865, and was only
saved from a watery grave by clinging to the mast of the ship all night, where he was picked up in an exhausted condition
by a United States gunboat, the following morning. He was discharged from the service in July, 1865, having risen from
a private to the rank of first lieutenant. Soon after the close of the war he embarked in the grocery business at
Hornellsville, under the firm name of Hollands & Fletchcr, occupying what was then known as the old "Mamouth Store, "
opposite the Park. On January 2, 1866. he married Lydia Bailey of Mansfield. Pa. Five children were born to them, viz ;
Minnie, now the wife of Charles A. Smith of Middletown, N. Y.; Eva and Robert, who died of diphtheria in October,
1876; George Hollands Jr., who was born in November, 1875. and who is now at the age of twenty years, carrying on an
extensive grocery business in the village of Bath, under the firm name of Geo. Hollands, Jr., & Co.; and Burr R.
Hollands, who was born in June, 1878. and is now being educated as a pharmacist. Mr. Hollands is an enterprising citizen
a man of sober and industrious habits and a prominent member of the First M. E. church of Hornellsville. He has always
been a prominent and active member of the Republican party and has had the honor of representing his ward as village
trustee for six years prior to the organization of the city. In 1879 he was elected to the important office of county
superintendent of the poor, in which capacity he served for three years. In 1886 he very ably represented the town of
Hornellsville on the Board of Supervisors. He was commander of Doty Post, No. 220. G. A. R.. for two years. 1889 and
'90. He was one of the incorporators of the Hornell Sanitarium Co. and for several years a director and treasurer of said
company. In the fall of 1881 he was elected sheriff of Steuben county, which office he very satisfactorily filled for the
114
term of three years. A few months after his retirement from the office of sheriff he, in company with Mr. 0. L, Thompson,
purchased the interest of J. W. Bachman of Horncllsville. N, Y., in the drug trade, and at the present time are carrying on
a very prosperous business under the firm name of Thompson & Hollands.

"The National Tribune, Washington, D.C., Thursday, September 27, 1906
A'NDERSONVILLE MEMORIES
Hanging of the Raiders - The Bursting Out of Providence Spring
Editor National Tribune: I was much interested in the article written by Comrade John S Howard, Co K 11th Vl.. in your
issue of Aug 23, in regard to Andersonvillc Prison I wish to corroborate some of the things he says, but like him. I am
.somewhat in the dark concerning some things that have been written in reference to that notable place. I was one of the
Plymouth Pilgrims who registered at Hotel Andersonvillc on the 1st day of May 1864, after a week's sojourn on the way
from Tarboro, N C . packed in box cars like sardines in a box In regard to the hanging of the six raiders, Comrade
Howard is right as regards the man who broke away and ran down the hill and across the swamp in his endeavor to
escape I was standing near the edge of the swamp on me north side watching the hanging, and just after the six prisoners
were brought in at the south gale and marched up to the gallows, which was erected on the brink of the hill about 20 yards
from the entrance, one of the prisoners, a big. stout-looking fellow, after looking at the gallows, and doubtless for the
first lime being convinced that those in authority meant business, broke away and ran down the hill and across the
swamp. !I was with difficulty that he got through the swamp, the filth being almost knee deep. I remember clearly seeing
him pull off his coat as he was plowing his way across the swamp, and when he reached the south side he found a gang of
men ready to arrest his further progress, who marched him back to the gallows, in spite of his entreaties to be let go. In
the meantime the other five men had been prepared for the gallows by being bound, and sacks put over their heads As he
approached the gallows he evidently became convinced that the trial had been a farce, and that they must all pay the
penalty for the awful crimes they had committed. When all was completed the six men were marched up an inclined
plank on to the platform, the noose adjusted to each; at a given signal the plank on which they stood was knocked from
under them, and live of the six men were launched into eternity. The sixth man, whose position was on the east end of the
gallows, was Mosby, the leader of the ring, and he being a larger, heavy man, when the drop came his rope broke and he
fell to the ground. He was picked up, the rope again adjusted about his neck and he was again pushed off into space.
Thus ended the fearful tragedy which brought peace and safety to the balance of the inmate of the prison for some time to
come.
Regarding the washing out of the stockade, I find. upon reference to my diary, that on Tuesday afternoon, Aug 9, we had
a fearful rain storm, which washed down portions of the stockade in several places on the west side in the vicinity of
where the small steam (now augmented to a raging torrent) came through, I remember well seeing some of the boys
wading out into this raging stream to grapple some of the stockade timbers as they were floating down the stream, for the
purpose of converting them into firewood, but much to their disappointment, the rebel authorities came in and deprived
them of their booty by taking the timber from them and placing it back into its original position in the stockade.
I have read much, and heard it proclaimed many times from the platform, that the so-called Providence spring burst forth
into existence at this time, but I never could credit the assertion, for I went down past the spot where they say the spring
was, almost every day, and some days several limes a day and I never heard of the Providence spring until long after the
war was over. I remember the stump that stood between the deadline and stockade about two or three rods up the hill
from the creek; also, the .swampy nature of the ground about the stump but no flowing spring existed there that I ever saw
or heard of prior to Sept 11, when my detachment was taken out, and we started on our way to the new bull pen (as we
called it) at Florence. S C , stopping on our way for a couple of weeks' sojourn at Charleston, S C being confined there
115
within the limits of the old race course, until the stockade at Florence was completed and ready for occupancy. We rather
enjoyed this change, because we could hear the sound and see the big shells burst round about us and hear them go
crashing through the buildings in the city; they were being thrown from Uncle Sam's guns in Charleston Harbor.
I do not wish to be understood that there was no such thing as the so-called Providence spring but it must have broken out
after the big storm of Oct. 3. of which Comrade Howard speaks, and not after the big storm of Aug 9 as many would have
us believe If I am not right in which I have said I stand willing to be corrected.

Notes for FANNIE J. BAILEY:
Researchers note:
"Fannie and first husband Aaron Baldwin appear in the 1860, Kansas Territory, Douglas, Lawrence census. He was born
about 1832 They had two daughters - Kate born about 1857 in PA and Clara born about 1859 in Kansas. The "G B
Baley" listed in the household is most likely George Roswell Bailey, another child of Benjamin's and "Vestia" is certainly
Vesta, also a child of Benjamin's.
The April 2, 1879 Mansfield Advertiser reports Fannie's death. The Beers info, says she died March 26, 1879 in
Mansfield, while this reports that she died March 6, 1879 in Cleveland, OH. Looks like the truth is a combination of
118
both. The Michigan Deaths record shows that she died March 26, 1879 in Cleveland, OH."

Notes for RAYMOND L. BAILEY:
From A Standard History of Kansas and Kansans by William L. Connelley, 1918.
"Ray L. Bailey is one of the widely known men of Shawnee County, and is now successfully farming a fine place four
miles north of North Topeka. He makes farming a real business, understands it in all details, and gives it the same
energy and close attention which he formerly paid to his work as a traveling salesman. He was on the road for a number
of years, and his firm sent him on a number of missions to Old Mexico. On account of his travel and extensive
acquaintance in that southern republic he is well informed as to Mexican internal affairs.
Mr. Bailley was born in Mansfield, Tioga County, Pennsylvania, August 24, 1868, but has been a resident of Kansas
since his parents brought him to this state in October, 1872.
M.D. Bailey, his father, has long been a prominent man in Kansas. On coming to the state in 1872 he and his family
settled in Pawnee County. He was also a native of Tioga County, Pennsylvania and the Bailey family were among the
pioneers in that district. The father of M.D. Bailey was Benjamin F. Bailey, who was born in Pennsylvania and in early
territorial days, before the Civil war, came out to Leavenworth, Kansas, and opened a store. Mr. A Meyers, who is now
living in Meyers Valley, in Pottawatomie County, is one of men who recalls Benjamin Bailey as a Leavenworth
merchant in 1855. Benjamin Bailey finally returned to Pennsylvania, having remained in Kansas only a few years.
M. D. Bailey, after coming to Kansas, was employed in the United States Land Department and subsequently for four
years was county superintendent of public instruction. Before coming to Kansas he had served as a Union soldier four
years. At the outbreak of the war he joined Company A of the Eleventh Pennsylvania Cavalry, and most of his service
was in the Army of the Potomac. It was his rare privilege, while stationed in the vicinity of Hampton Roads, to witness
the epoch-making naval battle between the Confederate ironclad Merrimac and the marvelous invention of Ericson, the
gunboat Monitor. On account of his previous service as a soldier, M.D. Bailey, when he took up a claim in Edwards
County, Kansas, had to live on it only a year to perfect his title. For many years he filled a place in the pension
department, and is now in the National Hospital.
Emery Bailey, a son of M.D Bailey, was a member of the famous Twentieth Kansas Regiment, organized by Col. Fred
Funston at the outbreak of the Spanish-American War. General Funston at the time of his death was chief commander
of the American forces on the Mexican border. Emory Bailey served with the Twentieth Regiment in all it gallant part
in the Phillipine war and returned to this country with his regiment.

Notes for MARTIN VAN BUREN KING:
From the Biography of Martin King from the History of Tioga County, PA, 1883.
"MART KING, son of George W., was born in Washington county, N.Y., in 1825, and in 1845 came to Mansfield, where
he worked at blacksmithing two years and carpentering five years. In 1852 he went on the railroad, remaining until 1858.
120
He then engaged in the produce trade until 1869, when he built a factory and went to manufacturing bedsteads. His
factory which was a model one and first class-class in every particular, was burned, with all its splendid and costly
machinery, December 24th 1870. It was rebuilt in the spring of 1871, and has since been devoted to the manufacturer of
bedsteads and extension tables as a specialty, with a general line of furniture made from our native timber. It is probably
the largest wood-making establishment in the county, employing a large number of men, and turning out thousands of
dollars worth of furniture every year. There is run in connection with it a large steam laundry and Mr. King has at times
nearly 40 persons on his payroll. He is a self-made man, having once been at the bottom round of the ladder, aid is now
among our very first businessmen. He is president of the Smythe Park Association, and has been largely instrumental in
making the Tioga county agricultural, mechanical, and industrial fair, which is annually held in the park, such a great
success."

Biographical sketch of Llewellyn L. Bailey in the History of Tioga County, 1897.
"LLEWELLYN L. BAILEY was born in Charleston township, Tioga county, January 30, 1849, a son of John W. Bailey,
and grandson of Roswell Bailey. He was educated in the public schools and at Mansfield State Normal, and when
seventeen years of age entered a drug store in Blossburg, where he clerked three years. He then came to Wellsboro and
worked for his father two years, at the end of which time he established a feed and supply store at Antrim. Two years
later he sold out and entered the first National Bank of Wellsboro as a book-keeper, which position he filled from 1873 to
1882. In 1880 he was elected a director and served until July, 1896. He was made assistant cashier in 1882 and acted as
such until January 1, 1893, when he became a cashier, and occupied that position until October, 1894, when he resigned
to take charge of the estate of Philip Williams, In January, 1897, he was elected vice-president of the Wellsborough
National Bank. Mr. Bailey married Elizabeth C. Hill, a daughter of Rev. H.F. Hill, of Lindley, New York. Seven
children blessed this union, named as follows: Mabel E., deceased; Arthur L., book-keeper for Mathers, Graves &
Company; Harry F., Margaret L., John W., Edith A. and Catherine E. Mrs. Bailey died June 11, 1888, and he was again

122
and in politics, Mr. Bailey is a Democrat. He has filled the offices of school director and councilman for two terms each,
and is one of the enterprising and progressive citizens of his native county."
From the Wellsboro Agitator.
June 17, 1891 - "Fire this Morning. About three o'clock this morning Mr L.L. Bailey's dwelling house on Walnut street
was greatly damaged by fire and water. Mr. Bailey's two sons were aroused by smoke in their room in the back part of
the house. The fire seemed to have smouldered a long time between the walls before it broke out. The firemen turned on
the water but it was a long time before the flames were extinguished it being found awkward work to reach them. The
back part of the house was burned down, and the roof was nearly burned off and the plastering was spoiled by the water.
Most of the furniture in the main part of the house was saved, but almost all the clothing of the six children was
destroyed.
Mr. Bailey thinks that he has insurance enough to cover the loss. He has leased the Jacobson house on Meade street,
where he formerly lived, and is putting things to right as fast as possible.
The origin of the fire is unknown."
April 7, 1920 - "DEATH OF L.L. BAILEY. President of Tioga County Savings and Trust Died Last Wednesday

Notes for EDITH A. BAILEY:
From the Wellsboro Agitator.
October 17, 1923 - "Miss Edith Bailey, daughter of the late L.L. and Elizabeth Hill Bailey, was married Friday
afternoon at 4 o'clock to James M. Crichton, youngest son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Robert Crichton. Rev. C.W.
Macgeroge, pastor of the First Baptist church, officiated. There were no attendants.
The wedding was solemnized at the home of Mrs. Carrie H. Bailey, on Central avenue, the house being beautifully
decorated with autumn foliage, ferns and snapdragons.
The bride's gown was of rose orange brocaded chiffon velvet, trimmed with pale gray fur.
Mr. and Mrs. Crichton were members of the class of 1902 of the Wellsboro High School. Mrs Crichton taught
gymnastics for several years in the State Normal School at Terre Haute, Indiana. After taking the degree of Master of
Arts in history at Smith College, she became a member of the faculty of Wilson College, at Chambersburg, Pa. Mr.
Crichton recently returned to Wellsboro from Council Bluffs, Iowa, where he was employed for several years by the
Union Pacific Railroad, both before and after the world war, during which he served overseas with the U.S. Engineers.
After leaving Wellsboro a number of years ago Mr. Crichton resided in Montana. The many friends of Mr. and Mrs.
Crichton extend best wishes.
Among out-of-town relatives present were: Mr. and Mrs. Arthur L. Bailey, of Cohocton, N.Y.; Harry F. Bailey, of
New York, and Dr. Margaret Bailey, of Northampton, Mass."
December 12, 1923 - "During American Education Week we enjoyed two treats - on Conservation day, a scholarly
presentation of the advantages and disadvantages of private ownership of land, especially in Pennsylvania history , by
Mrs. James Crichton; and on Friday, an inspiring address on "Relationships - Physical, Mental and Spiritual," by Dr.
Van Waters."
September 10, 1924 - "Mrs. James Crichton has returned to Philadelphia, after spending a few days with Mrs. L. L.
Bailey in Wellsboro. Mr. Crichton is receiving medical treatment in Philadelphia."
January 1, 1925 - "Mrs. James Crichton, who has been spending two weeks at the home of her mother, Mrs. Carrie
Bailey, leaves to-day for New York, where she will shortly enter the Spring semester at Columbia college. Mrs.
Crichton will resume her teaching in the fall."
Notes for JAMES M. CRICHTON:
From the Wellsboro Gazette.
November 14, 1924 - "James Crichton, aged 42 years, died at the home of his sister, Mrs. R.A. Lorenz, at Linwood,
Pa., on Sunday Nov. 9, following months of intense suffering, heroically borne.
Mr. Crichton was born in Antrim in 1882, son of Robert and Agnes Crichton. His boyhood was spent in Wellsboro,
where he attended school and graduated in the class of 1902, and later at Phillips Academy, Andover. For several years
prior to the world war, Mr. Crichton was successfully engaged in business in the west. In 1917 he enlisted in the
American Expeditionary Forces and served one year in France. The hardships he endured at that time served to
undermine his reserve strength which was needed to combat the illness that later attacked him.
On October 12, 1923, he was united in marriage to Miss Edith Bailey, daughter of the late L.L. Bailey. They resided
in Wellsboro as members of the household of Mrs. Carrie Bailey, until Mr. Crichton's physical condition made his
removal to Philadelphia imperative.
The deceased is survived by his widow and four sisters and one brother -- Mrs. F.S. Austin, of Corry, Pa.; Mrs. A.E.
Wetmore, of Glenside, Pa., Mrs. F.H. Foster, of Springfield, Mass.; Mrs. R.A. Lorenz, of Linwood, Pa.; and T.A.
Crichton, Esq., Cashier in the State Treasury Department at Harrisburg, who maintains his law office and residence in
Wellsboro.
The remains were brought to Wellsboro on Tuesday morning. Funeral services will be held from the home of Mr. and
Mrs. T.A. Crichton on Pearl street this afternoon at two o'clock, the Rev. O.G. Cocks, officiating.
Mr. Crichton was a modest, retiring, kind man, with a fine mental equipment and a character of strength and integrity.
The deepest sympathy goes out to his bereaved widow and devoted relatives."

Notes for MORTON SHELLEY BAILEY:
126
From the 1897 History of Tioga County.
"HON. MORTON S. BAILEY was born in Charleston township, Tioga county, July 2 [should be 3], 1855, a son of John
W. Bailey, and was reared on the homestead farm. Removing to Wellsboro with his parents in 1870, he attended the
Wellsboro High School and later followed teaching for a short period. He graduated at Lafayette College, Easton,
Pennsylvania, in 1880, and soon after went to Colorado, where he began at once the study of law, and was admitted to
practice in August, 1882. He soon developed into political prominence and was elected to the State Senate by the
Democratic party in a district at that time largely Republican. After serving one session, he was elected in the autumn of
1891, judge of the Eleventh Judicial district and resigned his seat in the Senate to go upon the bench. Judge Bailey was reelected in 1894, as a candidate of the Democrats and Populists. The Eleventh district had heretofore been Republican,
and his election twice in succession was a high tribute to his worth and popularity. Judge Bailey is recognized in his State
as a lawyer of solid legal attainments and unquestioned integrity, and he has won a high reputation for the impartiality
and fairness of his decisions. In the fall of 1896 he was the Democratic nominee for governor of Colorado, but failed of
election."
From the Fairplay Flume, Fairplay, CO.
August 1, 1882 - "Bailey & Wilkin, the new law firm just organized and about to remove to elegant office rooms in the
Crook block, is composed of two of the brightest young lawyers in the district. Mr. Wilkin has lately been closely
scrutinized through the district as a candidate, and, strange to say, has stood the test without a blemish. His election to the
district attorneyship will make no difference to the firm. Morton S. Bailey, who is not as well known to the people here,
has been a silent partner in the firm for three months and has inspired general confidence and made many friends in no
short a time. Mr. Bailey comes from Pennsylvania, being a graduate of Lafayette college at Easton, Pa. He has been in
Colorado about two years and a half, the greater part of that time being spent in the office of Hon. T.M. Patterson and
Judge Markham in Denver. The practice he has had in the court here has already shown him to be a competent and
zealous advocate."
From the Wellsboro Agitator.
November 18, 1890 - Mortimer [Morton] S. Bailey Esq, a son of Mr. John W. Bailey, was recently elected as a
Democratic State Senator in the Colorado Legislature from the district composed of Park and Fremont counties. The
district usually gives a Republican majority of about 450 and Mr. Bailey a personal popularity is attested by his majority
of 584. The Flume published a Fairplay, Col. Mr. Bailey's home says "The tremendous vote in this county is a strong
expression of the intention to revenge interference by politicians at times when the will of the people has been indicated,
as well as a splendid indorsement for Mr. Bailey." Another Wellsboro boy Hon. Leon O. Bailey, who is also a son of Mr.
John W. Bailey has just been elected City Attorney at Indianapolis, Ind."
November 12, 1891 - "A Wellsboro Boy Highly Honored. The Denver (Col.) Daily News in speaking of the election of
Hon M.S. Bailey, briefly mentioned in the GAZETTE last week, says "Form the temporary wreck and ruin of Tuesday's
election Hon. M.S. Bailey, of Fairplay, comes forth smiling a District Judge from the counties of Fremont, Custer,
Chaffee and Park. Senator --soon to become Judge Bailey -- either is or has a mascot that would be valuable to
Democrats in the benighted county of Arapahoe. Last year he was elected Senator on the Democratic ticket from the
counties of of Park and Fremont, both decidedly Republican in their politics, and this year he doubles his achievement
and is elected Judge in four counties, every one of which is rock-ribbed in their fealty to the Republican party. Judge
Bailey is in every way worthy of the favors the voters who know him shower upon him so lavishly. He is a big bodied,
big hearted, educated gentlemen, with a head full of law and good sense and a disposition to fairness that will make him
one of the most successful judges on the Colorado bench. The News heartily greets Judge Mortimer S. Bailey."
From the Idaho Statesman, Boise, ID.
December 13, 1897 - "WILL QUIT POPULISM. A Defeated Candidate Will Join the Democrats.
Denver, Dec 14. -- Judge Morton S. Bailey, populist candidate for governor who was defeated by Alva Adams in 1896,
has announced his purpose to act in the future with the democratic party. He says he surrenders none of his principles but
as the fight is now between free coinage and monometalism the democratic party has the better claim to support."
From the Eagle Valley Enterprise, Eagle, CO
October 16, 1908 - "MORTON S. BAILEY, NOMINEE FOR SUPREME COURT.
Hon. Morton S. Bailey, whose likeness you see before you, was born at Wellsboro, Pa., in 1855, and in 1880 graduated
127
from Lafayette College. He came to Colorado at once after getting his degree and in 1882 was admitted to the bar. He
began the practice of his chosen profession at Fairplay, Colorado, where he was elected Mayor for two consecutive terms.
After that he was sent to the State Assembly to represent in the senate the people from the Fourteenth senatorial district,
composed of Fremont and Park counties. In the fall of 1892 he was elected judge of that district and has occupied that
position ever since. This was remarkable because of the fact that at time he was elected the first time it was a Republican
majority for the rest of the ticket and when he was again placed before the people of that district two years ago the
Republicans did not put up a candidate against him.
Judge Bailey's judicial ability is unquestioned. His integrity, clear judgement and powerful personality will make him a
commanding figure upon the Supreme bench of this State.
The people of Colorado are in need of judges of the kind such as Judge Bailey is and this year they are going to put their
stamp of approval upon him. He is now well known all over Colorado and highly respected because of his high ability
and sterling qualities as a jurist, a leader and a manly man."

December 10, 1909 - "OUR NEW SUPREME COURT.
The decisions of the State Supreme Court during this year cast a ray of brightest light over Colorado, this in marked
contrast to the shadows the have dimmed the sun for several years past, and the point in which Park county takes
particular pride is the fact that our former citizen, and always most highly esteemed friend, Morton S. Bailey, now one of
the respected Justices of this Court, is on of the leading spirits that have made possible the eminently fair decisions
rendered.
Judge Bailey located in Fairplay and hung out his shingle as a lawyer some thirty years ago, when he was a mere boy.
Since that time his progress has been steady. He at once took his place as a lawyer of marked ability and a man of unusual
depth. He gained and has held the highest respect of the people, not only of Park county, but of Colorado, and in this
instance, the confidence of the has not been misplaced.
The latest and most striking decision of the Court was rendered the week in the injunction case between Leadville and
the Leadville Sewer Company, in which the Court decided that no city can grant perpetual franchises to public utility
corporations. That Justices Gabbert and Campbell voted against the majority in the decision is no surprise; but thanks to
Justices Bailey, Musser, Steele, Hill and White the of Gabbertism in Colorado has witnessed its sunset. We welcome the
days of light in place of the years of shadow."

May 19, 1922 - "JUSTICE BAILEY DIES SUDDENLY - Justice Morton S. Bailey, member of the Colorado Supreme
Court and a distinguished pioneer jurist died suddenly at his home in Denver Tuesday morning about 2:30 o'clock, death
resulting from an attack of uremic poisoning.
The announcement of the justice's sudden death came as a deep shock to the many friends and acquaintances of the
noted jurist, because of the apparent favorable condition of his health last week when he last attended to his judicial
duties in his chambers at the state house.
Justice Bailey was born July 3, 1855 near Wellsboro, Pa., and spent the first few years of his life on a farm. In 1880 he
was graduated from Lafayette College at Easton, Pa. Three years later the degree of master of arts was conferred on him
by the same institution.
Coming to Colorado in 1880, he settled in Denver and began reading law in the offices of Markham, Patterson and
Thomas, and later the offices of R.D. Thompson. He was admitted to the bar two years later and thereupon established
law offices at Fairplay, Colorado.
At this place he became associated with Judge Charles A. Wilkin in the practice of law, served two terms as mayor and
subsequently was elected state senator from Fremont and Park counties. He resigned from the senate, however, when
elected to the district bench from Canon City on Dec. 23, 1891. This district comprises Freemont Park, Chaffee and
Custer counties, embracing the Eleventh Judicial district.
He married Miss Lutie Wilkin in 1888. She survives him with a daughter, Miss Mildred, and a brother F.W. Bailey, all
of Denver, and Leon O. Bailey of New York, in addition to the three sons.
He was considered one of the most outstanding figures of the state, not only as a staunch Democrat, jurist and statesman,
but also as a student of Masonry. During his leisure time he devoted hours to its study, according to friends of the family.
He was a thirty second degree Mason, and belonged to the Mystic Shrine and Knights Templar, and also was a life
member of the Benevolent and Protective Order of the Elks. He was a member of the local Democratic club, the Denver
Athletic club and the state and American bar associations.

Notes for LEON ORLANDO BAILEY:
From the History of Tioga County, 1857.
"LEON O. BAILEY was born in Charleston township, Tioga county, June 21, 1857, and was educated in the public
schools of Wellsboro and at Cornell University. He later removed to Indianapolis, Indiana, where he studied law in the
office of Baker, Hord & Hendricks, and was admitted to the bar of Marion county at the age of twenty-three. In 1886 he
was elected to the State Senate, as a Democrat, and served one term as assistant to the attorney general of Indiana. He
was subsequently the Democratic nominee for Congress in that district, and also served as city solicitor of Indianapolis, in
which city he still resides."
From Encyclopedia of Biography by John W. Jordan, 1914.
Leon Orlando, son of John W. and Margaret (Lewis) Bailey, was borm June 21, 1857, in Wellsboro, Tioga county,
Pennsylvania, and was a student from boyhood. At eighteen he was instructor in languages and mathematics in the high
school of his native county, and at nineteen he entered Cornell University, class of 1880. He began to read law in the
office of Hiscock, Gifford & Dohaney, of Syracuse, New York, but shortly after went to Indianapolis and studied with the
firm of which Thomas A. Hendricks was a member, obtaining his degree of L.L.B from the Indiana Law School in 1880.
In 1881 Mr. Bailey, in partnership with William A. Van Buren, began practice in Indianapolis. The following year
the connection was dissolved, and Mr. Bailey associated himself with Major Jonathan W. Gordon, in his day one of the
most brilliant members Of the lndiana bar, and the partnership continued until the death of Major Gordon. Subsequently
Mr. Bailey formed a partnership with the Hon. John W. Kern, now United States Senator from Indiana. The firm of Kern
& Bailey enjoyed a large and lucrative practice. It Was dissolved when Mr. Kern became city attorney of Indianapolis,
since which time Mr. Bailey has practiced alone. The firm of Kern & Bailey was dissolved in 1900, and during the twelve
years of its
existence Mr. Bailey occupied a leading position at the Indianapolis Bar. Previous to that he had come into prominence
through learning, ability and devotion to duty. Endowed by nature with all the essential qualifications of a successful
lawyer, he rapidly advanced to the commanding position which for so many years has been his, highly esteemed by his
professional brethren and possessing the fullest confidence of the public at large.
Like his father, Mr. Bailey is a staunch Democrat, and his fellow-citizens have not been slow to testify to the esteem in
which they hold him. From 1885 to 1889 he represented his party in the Indiana State Senate, and his legal abilities were
recognized by his election to the office of City Attorney of Indianapolis. When Hon. Alonzo Greene Smith was elected
Attorney-General of Indiana, he selected
Mr. Bailey as First Assistant Attorney General, an office which he filled with distinguished ability for four years. His
abilities received from President Cleveland merited recognition. During the first term of the Cleveland administration,
Mr. Bailey received the honor of the appointment of First Assistant United
129
States Attorney for the District of Indiana, and for two years filled with the utmost credit to himself this important and
responsible position. At the close of his term, Mr. Bailey was nominated by President Cleveland for the omce of United
States Attorney, but was not confirmed because Of the immediate succession of a Republican administration. The place
had been offered to Mr. Bailey purely as a recognition by the administration of his effciency and the refusal of the senate
to confirm the nomination
was merely a partisan penalty for his great eminence as a Democratic leader and for his scathing rebukes of political
corruption.
For two years Mr. Bailey was Corporation Counsel of the City of Indianapolis, and in 1898 was the nominee Of his party
for Congress from the Indianapolis District. Shortly after, in consequence of his engagement by important corporate
interests, he removed to New York City, where he has since been actively engaged in the practice of his profession and is
recognized as a distinguished member of the bar. In the welfare of men known as “wage-earners1” Mr. Bailey has always
taken a profound interest, and has more than redeemed every pledge to ameliorate conditions by the enactment of
wholesome laws. The measures which he introduced and advocated while a member of the State Senate stand emblazoned
upon the record as monuments of his devotion to the welfare of the masses and his unswerving fidelity to Democratic
principles. Widely but unostentatiously charitable, no good work done in the name of philanthropy or religion appeals to
him in vain. Fraternally, he affiliates with the Masonic order, and takes special in terest in the Benevolent and Protective
Order of Elks, under the auspices of
which he occasionally delivers an address possessing the strength and polish of a classic. Eminent as a lawyer, Mr. Bailey
is preeminent as a statesman. Exceptionally equipped for the bar, he is first, last and always a political leader. When
nominated by his party for Congress, thevigor and brilliancy of his campaign attracted wide attention and created much
enthusiasm throughout the State. Though defeated, he succeeded in reducing the Republican majority by several thousand
votes. The splendid fight which he then made gave him added strength ¡n the councils of the Demoatic party. A man of
striking presence, his countenance bears the stamp of those sterling qualities of manhood of the pos
session of which his career has given evidence and also shows him to be endowed with the endearing personal traits
which win and hold friends. He is a judge of men and of character, and in his attachments is intensely loyal. Few men in
public life have had a more devoted following.
Mr. Bailey was first married, in 1878, to Rosamond Paty Coggeshall, born in 1858, on the Island of Nantucket, daughter
of William Boylston and Anne Maria (Jenkins) Coggeshall, the former a descendant of Sir John Coggeshall, one of the
founders of Newport, and prominently identified with the history of
Rhode Island, while the latter numbered among her ancestors and relatives Tristram Coffin, Benjamin Franklin, Lucretia
Mott and Maria Mitchell. The “Coffin School” of Nantucket, at which Mrs. Bailey was educated, was founded in 1827 by
Admiral Sir Isaac Coffin, being established for the education of the descendants of Tristram Coffin, and is still an
institution of high standing, open without charge to all those of Coffin lineage. Mrs. Bailey was a woman of lovely
personality and rare gifts, being a musician, singer and composer, a writer of both poetry and prose, and possessing a
charm of character which appealed alike to young and old and won for her unusual regard and love. Mrs. Bailey died in
September, 1892, and Mr. Bailey married (second) ¡n September, 1901, Gertrude May Stein, born in Albany, New York.
Before her marriage Miss Stein was widely known as one of the most celebrated contralto soloists in America. Mr. and
Mrs. Bailey are the parents of three children: Elliott Gor
don, born January 31, 2904,; Caroline and Margaret (twins), born December 18, 1905. Mr. Bailey is particularly happy in
his domestic relations, and is devoted to his home and family. They occupy an extensive place at Bronxvil!e, a beautiful
residence section of New York City.

"She [Edith] was married to Alfred (or Albert, or Edmund, unclear!) Masius near Wellsboro some time @ 1880, against
the wishes of her family. They had two sons, Roderick and Morton, both born in Egg Harbor City, N.J. When the boys
were young, Edith and Alfred (?) divorced (shocking for the time) and Edith moved to Leipzig Germany to study the new
field of experimental psychology with Willem Wundt (at the time she was his only American woman student.) The boys
went to the school attached the famous church where J. S. Bach was organist and choir director. Edith remarried, to
Bernard Liebisch, who was a widower. They had a daughter Mildred. Edith never returned to the U.S. Edith became ill
and on her deathbed extracted a promise from her younger sister Mildred to care for her boys. Mildred Bailey gave up her
own engagement (to a man in the Wellsboro area) to remain in Germany caring for the boys. She married her sister's
husband Bernard Liebisch. They had a son, Arnold Llewellyn."

Germany that morning. She died of consumption with which disease she had been suffering for months. Mrs Liebisch
was the daughter if John W. Bailey. She went to Leipsic about five years ago to study in the university intending to fit
herself for a teacher. Soon after she met Prof. Bernard Liebisch, a dealer in rare books and they were afterward married.
When her health began to fail her sister Miss Mildred Bailey went to her and has ministered to her during her sickness.

Notes for STERLING ALONZO HURSH:
From Isabella County, Mich. Portrait and Biographical Sketches, 1884.
Sterling a Hursh is a farmer on section 17 of Wise Township, and was born in Clyde, Wayne Co., N.Y., May 25, 1849.
His parents, John M. and Elizabeth (Brown) Hursh, were born respectively in Steuben and Chenango Cos., N.Y. Later in
life they came to Michigan and settled in Isabella County. The father died in NOvember, 1877, in Loomis. The mother is
a resident of Mt. Pleasaant. Mr. Hursh accompanied his parents to the Peninsular State when but seven years of age. He
passed the years of his life previous to the age of 20 years in attendance at the common schools and engaged in farming.
At the age named he became salesman in a store in Mt. Pleasant, where he remained a year, after which he worked some
time in the woods. In the fall of 1871 he opened a country stoor at Loomis, in partnership with his father, and continued
it's management until the summer of 1875, when he went to Fentonville, Genesee Co., Mich., where he engaged 18
months in the hotel business, after which he sold trees about six months. In the spring of 1877 he returned to Loomis, and
was engaged in the woods chiefly until 1881, when he bought 120 acres of wild land on sections 17 and 18 of Wise
Township. On this he has since lived and pushed the work of cleaning and improving. He has placed 30 acres under
improvements, and has it all in tillage. In politics Mr. Hursh is a Republican, and has been active in the public welfare of
Wise Township since its organization. He held the position of Township Treasurer one year. He was married at Loomis,

Co., NJ3360,3361,3362.
Notes for WALLACE BAILEY:
From Portrait and Biographical Album of Oakland County, Michigan, 1891.
"WALLACE BAILEY. This name will be recognized by many readers as that of a farmer and stock-raiser located in
Orion Township, where he and his brothers own four hundred acres of fine land. Mr. Bailey devotes his time entirely to
agricultural affairs and, having been reared on a farm and had much to do with it's management when he was quite young,
he is a master of his calling. He has a fine large dwelling with attractive surroundings and a full supply of farm buildings,
so that he is well equipped for the carrying on of his work and lives in much comfort. He is a native of this county, born
in Independence Township, June 3, 1842, and all his interests have centered here.
In Tioga County, Pa., in 1816, Wilson Bailey, the father of our subject was born. He came to this state about 1831, when
the county was full of wild game, and the part in which he settled showed a vestige of improvement. He was one of the
first to locate land in Independence Township and the deed signed by Gen Jackson is still in the possession of Mrs.
Bailey. He walked from Detroit to his destination, there being no railroads or stage lines. The customary log home was
built, a clearing made and some simple improvements, and after a few years Mr. Bailey returned to the Keystone State for
his parents, having located 80 acres of land for them. As time passed he placed his farm in good condition and in 1856
bought 600 acres on section 19, Orion Township, which has since become known as the Steam Mill Farm. He entered
into partnership with F.C. Myrick, for the manufacture of pine lumber, but the partnership was soon dissolved. A mill had
been built by Mr. Myrick which run seven saws, and a large amount of lumber was made. Mr. Bailey was a thorough
137
businessman and at the time of his demise was engaged in various enterprises. He had limited means when he came West
but was successful in accumulating property. He was a life long member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, in the faith
of which he died May 26, 1862.
The mother of our subject was known in her maidenhood as Miss Rachel Riker. She was born in Chemung County, N.Y.,
in 1817, and is still living; she has belonged to the Methodist Episcopal Church for many years and her character is one
that reflects credit upon her Christian profession. She is the mother of six children, but one has crossed the river of death.
Wallace is the eldest of the family and was born in a log house built by his father in Independence Township. He attended
the district school, which was held in the primitive building with homemade furniture, and became well versed in such
branches as were then taught. After his father's death the management of the estate largely devolved upon him and he
remained at the old home until his marriage. The property was kept together and the youngest brother became of age.
In 1965 Mr. Bailey was married to Sarah C. Case, a native of Sussex County, N.J., born in 1847. Her parents came to this
State about 1855, and she completed her studies and youthful training here. To Mr. and Mrs. Bailey three children have
been born, named respectively, Cora C., Mamie E. and Gracie M. They have had good privileges and careful home
training and the first-born is now successfully engaged in teaching. In 1868 Mr. Bailey removed to Orion Township
where he has since lived. He votes the Republican ticket and has been a Mason nearly thirty years. He and his wife
belong to the Methodist Episcopal Church, in which they have good standing, as they have throughout the community."

Notes for EDITH BAILEY:
From the Pontiac Post, September 1, 1899.
Edith Bailey, daughter of Winfield S. and Ella Bailey, died at the home of her parents in Independence, August 19th,
aged 16 years and 6 months. Pulmonary tubercolosis claimed her for its early prey. During an illness of over five years,
she manifested a meekness of mind and resignation to her Heavenly Father's will that was surprisingly tender and
pathetic. Always anxious to serve she seemed to forget herself in her efforts to contribute to the comfort of others. Her
final illness was brief, being confined to her bed but a few days. She sank rapidly, and quietly fell asleep.
The funeral services were held the following Monday afternoon from the Seymour Lake M.E. church. A large
concourse of sorrowing relatives and neighbors followed the remains to their last resting place in Seymour Lake
cemetery.

"Coleman March 5th, 1896.
Pension Department Washington, D.C.
In answer of letter of enquiry in regard to what I know of the disabilities of Edmond Bailey of Harrison Mich will say,
that he has suffered many years with a difficulty in his side which renders him unable to perform hard labor he told me he
was hurt helping to load wood on cars by being struck with a stick of week. I know his doctoring for his side during the
spring and summer of 1870 he was then living in the township of Tyrone, Livingston Co Mich the Dr. who then treated
him was Dr. Wixom of Fentonville Mich. I have met with him many times since the year 1870 will say that I have never
met him in good health. I have heard him complain many times of heart trouble. I met with him in the year of 1892 he
was then taking medicine for his heart trouble & remember he had such pain about his heart that he had to sit down and
rest for some time before he was able to walk. I have met with him a number of times in the last four years and always
found him in poor health. The last I saw him was in Oct. 1895 he was then complaining of his side hurting him. Yours
Respect
John J. Bailey Coleman Mich"

Notes for JOHN J. BAILEY:
Biography of John J. Bailey, contributed by Dale Cleland, actual author and date unknown. Punctuation and spelling as
originally written.
"Some items of interest in the life of ELDER J.J. BAILEY
John J. Bailey was born February 5, 1845, near Oxford, Oakland co. Michigan, the 3rd. son of Clarissa Shotwell Bailey
and William Bailey. There were 10 sons in his fathers family. No daughters. All the sons were born on a farm in Oakland
County, Michigan. All grew to manhood and were married. They were namely as follows according to age: Edmund,
Charlie, John J., William, Frank, Clarkston, Washington, Elmer, Albert, and Hermon.
At the age of 18 John J enlisted in Company L. 10th. Michigan Cavalry and served his country during the remainder of
the Civil War. He received his honorable discharge from the service November 11, 1865 at Memphis Tennessee.
January 1st. 1866 he married Susan M. Schell, daughter of Jane and Benjimen Schell, in Lapeer County. Michigan. To
this union were born 11 children, the two eldest died in infancy. The next oldest wqas Ada Mae, who in young
womanhood married John W. Green.
The others Benjimen , married Amy Moore
Clarissa married Henry F. Moorhead.
Margaret married Charles Johnson.
Emma Marrien Earnest Mc Cann and later Joe Des Jardins.
Maude married William Wilson.
William married Mae Couser and later Anna Hopkins.
Robert married Sophia Sadler.
Frank married Estella Hicks.
Shortly after his marriage, he operated a blacksmith shop in Burnside Township, Lapeer Co. Michigan. This
occupation he followed for a few years, then engaged in farming near Brown City, Michigan. He remained on the farm
until 1893 when he moved, with his family to Coleman, Michigan. Here he worked as oiler and night watchman at the
Peters Head Lining Millfor five years. Then he moved to Ubly, Michigan where the family resided on a farm and he spent
his time in the ministry.
In 1874 he was baptized by immersion by Elder Arthur Leverton of Canada and became a member of the Reorganized
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. His wife was baptized shortly afterwards and he studied for the ministry.
Three months after his baptism he was ordained an Elder. September 24th, 1902 he was ordained a Patriarch by John
H. Lake of Ohio.
For thirty years he freely gave his services to the church. In 1897 he went under General Conference Appointment and
his wife received from the Church, an allowance of 15.00 a month to care for her and 4 children who were yet of school
age.
After his ordination to Patriarch he labored in Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, and Wisconsin. Many received patriarchial
blessings under his hands and cherish them to this day. In the biography of Elder Arthur Leverton, he tells of his first
meeting with John J. Bailey. Elder Leverton came from Canada to tell of the restored gospel. He was associated with
Elder Robert Davis. Elder Leverton states that as the two were walking down the road, looking for a place where they
could hold religious meetings . they saw a man coming, whom they had never seen before. In speaking of him Elder
Leverton was impressed to say "An Israelite indeed in whom there is no guile. He will hear, obey and preach this gospel
144
This man was John J. Bailey.
they inquired of him if he knew of a place where they might hold religious servicesas they were ministers for Christ.
John Bailey secured a school house for them to preach in and he was one of the first to be converted and receive the
"Angels Message".
His wife was much prejudiced for some time, but the Spirit of the God soon bore witness to her of the truthfullness of
the Gospel and she was baptised during the winter of 1875 when it was necessary to cut a hole in the ice to perform the
rite.
At the ate of 85 after many years of faithful service in the church he was superannuated and received button and badge
ofhonor from the president of the church: Frederick M. Smith. He still continued to do all he could in church work as
health and strength permitted.
He was never confined to his bed continuously, and the afternoon before his heath, he sat on the porch of his home at
Brown City and told the gospel story to loved ones and neighbors.
After the death of his wife Susan, he went to live with his daughter Maude who then lived at Owendale. One year later
he married Adelaide Liscom of Flint, Michigan. Her husband had passed away several years Before. She had no children
but was really a n Angel on earth. They spent several happy years together. She passed away before he did and as was her
desire, she was laid to rest in his lot at ubly, Michigan.
In January 1927 he married Mrs. Peter Wood, an old time sweetheart. They lived together for six years
On August 30th, 1933 he retired as usual and at 8'oclock p.M. and passed away peacefully the following morning Aug.
31, 1933 at the age of 88 years 6mo. and 26 days. He was laid to rest by the side of his wife Susan M. who passed away
Nov. 24th, 1913.
In 1914 he bought a home in Brown City, Michigan And resided there nineteen years until his death.
Funeral services were held at Brown City, conducted by Elder William Grice of Crosswell, Michigan andElder Dexter
Foster of Marlette, Mich. Taps were sounded at the graveside at the valley Cemetery at Ubly, MIch. Thus honored in
death as he was in life.
He oftimes liked to recall experiences of civil war times. He was with Gen. Sherman's march to the sea.
He also served under general Burnside in Kentucky in 1864.
On New Years day the temperature in Kentucky dropped to 20 degrees below zero and as several Confederate soldiers
were housed only in flimsy tents, 12 of them froze to death. Mr. Bailey was also in this camp at the time that states that
many horses and mules perished.
He took part in the battles of Blue Springs, East Tennessee, Chicameu? and Vicksburg. He was in the detachment that
trapped the famous Confederate "General Morgan and his 500 men" At this time his company were camped at night at
Bulls Gap in the Cumberlands, when the bugle was sounded for "Boots and Sadles. They were soon on their way. It was
raining and the night was so dark they were able to see the road only when flashes of lightening lit up the road. Toward
morning they arrived at Greenville Tennessee, where Gen Morgan was killed. Mr. Bailey saw service in Tennessee,
Virginia, North and South Carolina, Alabama, Georgia and other states, but was never wounded. He came close to death,
when he had received permission to go on a short leave to pick black berries. When an officer sought him go in an
attachment to Thorn till he was gone. All who went were either killed or captured except one officer.
He recalled a battle at Greenville, when he fought from behind a rail fence, and the fight developed into a hand to hand
encounter. He escaped without serious injury, but had horses shot from under him."
From a Sanilac County newspaper (name unknown) in 1932.
"Brown City, April 30. - John J. Bailey, 87 years old, only Civil war veteran in Brown City, has been a resident of this
place for more than 50 years. He recalls experiences of those days in the service of his country when "hand to hand
battles were common," he says. He saw service with the 10tgh Michigan Cavalry in Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, North
Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and Oklahoma. He took part in Sherman's march to the sea, and remembers distinctly
the battle at Greenville, Tenn., when he fought from behind a rail fence, and although his comrades dropped on both sides
of him, and the battle developed into a hand to hand encounter, he escaped serious injury.
He remembers that on another occasion when he spent a few hours of his leave picking blackberries his company was
ordered to an engagement during his absence and not a man survived. Mr. Bailey is in fairly good health and takes a keen
interest in his home and surroundings. He was born Feb. 5, 1845 in Oakland-co.
After the war, Mr. Bailey engaged in farming and was a blacksmith for a number of years. Later he entered the ministry
of the Latter Day Saints church where he spent 50 years of his life. While most of his preaching was done in Michigan, he
also spent some time in Wisconsin and in the south. He retired from active duty about 10 years ago. He has seen
Michigan grow to one of the industrial centers of the world.
Mr. Bailey is keenly interested in current events and is optimistic about the future. "We'll come out of this depression
with flying colors," he says.
He has nine children, Mrs John Green of Brown City; Mrs Henry Moorehead of Detroit; Mrs Charles Johnson of
Midland; Mrs. William Wilson of Owendale; Benjamin Bailey of Ubly; Mich., William Bailey of Independence, Mo.,
145
Robert Bailey of Carsonville, and Frank Bailey of Port Huron."

Notes for FRANKLIN PIERCE BAILEY:
From the Pontiac Daily Press.

May 14, 1903 - "The coroner's jury in the inquest as to the cause of the death of Franklin Bailey, met at Orion Wednesday
and decided that Bailey died of heart failure. Dr. J. W. Fox was the coroner in the case. He made a post mortem
examination and stated unhesitatingly that death was due from heart disease and that Bailey had not drowned as was
supposed.
It will be recalled that Bailey, who lived north and east of Clarkston, in Independence township, left home on Sunday
afternoon, April 19. He had but recently returned from the asylum here, and was in very poor health. His family kept a
constant watch of him and he was not supposed to leave the house without a companion. While the family slept Bailey
slipped out of the house and went rowing on the lake, a few rods distant from the house. His heart was weak and it is
supposed the exertion of rowing the boat was too much. He fell into the lake but was evidently dead before he struck the
water as no water was found in his lungs. The body came to the surface of the lake on Friday of last week just as a party
of searchers were preparing to drag the lake.
The jury rendered a verdict that death was caused by heart failure."

"L H. Reade, of Flint, Mich., has purchased the extensive hardware business of Bailey and Son and will take possession
as soon as inventory is completed. Mr. Reade, who has been largely engaged as a contractor and builder, having erected
many of the cottages on Lake Orion, is one of the solid business men of Flint and a hustling and enterprising young man.
He will make his home in Orion and proposes to push the hardware business in the locality and we bespeak for him a
liberal patronage. The attention of our readers is called to his advertisements which appear in this issue. The members of
the retiring firm, Messrs. Bailey and Son, who have by fair and honorable dealing built up a lucrative hardware business,
will engage in other occupations. Herschel Bailey will, however, remain with Mr. Reade."

Notes for NORMALEE A. KERR:
From The Risks Digest Volume 16; Issue 56.
"Catalogin' - It's not clear whether Morris Feline Stuart is a Democat, A Fat Cat or a Republicat -- or even a fan of
Ross Purr-O -- but Morris is now a registered voter in Cuyahoga County. Normalee Stuart of Shaker Heights, Ohio,
says that she registered her cat to prove there are few, if any, safeguards against voter fraud in in the county. She got
the idea when a neighbor had told her about receiving a voter registration card addressed to a woman who had been
dead for 12 years. Ohio law does not require people -- or cats -- to identify themselves when registering to vote. In fact,
state law doesn't require identification from people when voting and allows mail-in registration. [Excerpted from a UPI
item in the (Cleveland) "Plain Dealer", as noted (without date) by Henry Cat(e). Soon cats and dogs will be able to vote
by E-mail. On the Internet no one knows whether it's reigning cats or dogs. Normalee, anyway. PGN]

Notes for IDA LOUISE WOODWORTH:
From the Crawford County Avalanche.
1894-09-06 -" Last Friday was the fifth anniversary of the birth of Miss Louise Woodworth, and in commemoration of
the event entertained 22 of her playmates with lunch and games on the lawn in the evening. It was a pleasant party for
163
them."
1900-08-23 - "Miss Louise Woodworth returned Monday, from a week's visit with friends in Bay City."
1921-06-30 - "Of interest to the older residents of Grayling will be the announcement of the marriage on June 25th at
Auburn, New York, of Miss Ida Louise Woodworth to Mr. William George Walkley. The bride was the daughter of the
late Dr. and Mrs. William Woodworth, former residents of Grayling."
On May 23, 1946 a letter was written to Ida Louise from her step brother Charles Woodworth. An excerpt from that
letter follows:
"About your mother [Jeanette G. Rose], that's different we were schoolmates together in Savannah for years and she
was just plain Net Rose to me and we were always the best of friends but never lovers. It did not worry me a bit when
father picked her up. I will never forget the day he told me he was going to marry Net. I almost laughed but of course I
had to accept the situation and wish them all happiness but I did think things you know? However I was living and
working in [looking?] in Syracuse so it was all ok. Also fine for Jennie L who was only 10 or so at the time and needed
a mother."

Notes for JESSE E. BURTON:
From the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle.
November r17, 1896 - "Jesse Burton, oldest son of Leonard Burton, met with a severe accident on Saturday while
engaged in drilling a well on the farm occupied by George Dennis, about one mile east of Honeoye Falls. It became
necessary to tighten a belt on the engine, and for that purpose he climbed on top of it. The engine was not in motion at the
time, though in gear, and in some way he moved the drive wheel enough to start the engine, drawing his left foot into the
gear, crushing the great toe and badly bruising the second one. He was removed to his home and Dr. Renham called to
attend him. Upon examination the doctor found it necessary to amputate the great toe."
From the Livonia Gazette, Livonia, NY.
March 19, 1920 - "Jesse Burton of Honeoye Falls was drowned Friday night in the creek which runs through that
village."

Notes for RUSSELL EDSILL:
Excerpt from Iowa Labor History Oral Project.
Russell Edsill held the office of Financial Secretary and Treasurer, UPWA Local 46.
Excerpt from the Iowa Labor Collection, State Historical Society of Iowa.
"Local 46 participated in international UPWA strikes in 1946 and 1948. During the strike in 1948 the governor called
in the Iowa National Guard after a union member was killed while picketing and the picketers rioted. After the strike in
1948, 24 union members were indicted for complicity in the strike violence. Wilbert Warren, one of the indicted,
demanded a separate trial and received it. Warren was charged with conspiring to destroy property. Warren was found
guilty of conspiracy in connection with the violence at the plant, and was sentenced to three years in prison. In 1949, he
appealed to the Iowa Supreme Court, but was denied in 1952. Only three others union members' cases made it to trial.
Raymond and Russell Edsill were both found guilty and sentenced to three years apeace, and Everett Hopper was
acquitted in his trial. Russell Edsill and Wilbert Warren went to prison for two months in 1952, and were then paroled
(Raymond Edsill had already been paroled). Both men returned to Rath's and UPWA, Local 46, and received full
pardons from Governor Hershell Loveless in 1960."

Notes for EDITH MAY SMITH:
From the Wellsboro Agitator.
August 28, 1907 - "A YOUTHFUL HEROINE. Eleven Year Old Edith Smith Saved Sister from Burning House.
Narrow Escape of Children Alone in a Delmar Dwelling While Parents Were in Town. Edith, the 11-year old daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. Almon Smith, of Delmar, saved her sleeping baby sister from death last Saturday morning about 11
o'clock, when the Smith house, on the Dantz run road, route, No. 7, was burned to the ground with it; contents.
Mr. and Mrs. Smth were to Wellsboro shopping, and left their children at home, Edith being the oldest and the baby
girl, less than one year old, the youngest. Shortly before 11 o'clock the children started a fire to prepare dinner in the
stove in the summer kitchen which is connected to the chimney by a pipe which goes through a partition. This pipe, it is
thought, became overheated and caused the fire, as the chimney was double bricked and perfectly sound. But when the
house caught fire there was nobody in the kitchen and the house was beyond saving when the blaze was discovered.
The baby was asleep upstairs and it was with difficulty that Edith groped her way through the dense smoke and
succeeded in rescuing the little one.
Mr. and Mrs. Smith, when they heard that their home was in flames, hired an automobile and started for home, the
"bubble" broke near the Henry Smith farm and Mr. Smith took them on with his team, the auto being "down and out"
for the time being.
The home was completely destroyed with all it's contents, including a new $400 piano. Mr. Smith had $650 insurance
on the house but nothing on it's contents, His loss is easily $2,000. He bought the barm about a year ago of Mr. Eli
Simmonds.
The many friends of Mr. and Mrs. Smith express sincere sympathy in their loss, and everybody admiration for the
coolness and heroism of their daughter Edith."

left it except to attend church. The funeral services were held from the Baptist church last Wednesday, Rev. F.H. Baker,
of Tioga, officiating. The church was filled with sympathizing friends and there was a profuse display of floral offerings.

Hodges and Schuyler G. Hodges, of block 6, Hodges addition, have not been fulfilled and Whereas, It is not deemed

standard 2-inch first quality pneumatic still leads and some of the best eastern manufacturers will put no other kind on
their vehicles."
Paraphrased from "Early Michigan Inns", by Lawrence McCraken, 1943.
George S. Hodges, the grandson of Schuyler Hodges, builder of the famed Hodges House Hotel in Pontiac, spent his
boyhood in the Hotel, always considered Pontiac of the days when the Hodges House shown brightest as having an
interest beyond any city he had ever known. "Living in that hotel was something like living a chapter of a Dickens'
novel." he recalled. "We had an array of Dickens' characters and the hotel was their meeting place." Among these were
Nutter, a bowlegged Negro Sampson, who tossed 250 and 300 pound trunks to his shoulders and trotted nonchalantly to
the third floor with them. "Deacon", so called because he was the most profane man in the village, drove a stage coach
and his artistry with cuss words won him respect of even seasoned travelers. The hotel undoubtedly played host to many
men who whose names are indelibly in the nation's history books, but the old registers were lost years ago and now there
is nothing but local legend, handed down through the years to testify to the visits of the great of past years.
Abraham Lincoln made a tour of Michigan in 1856 in support of presidential candidate John Freemont. It was during this
tour he is reputed to have visited the Hodges House. No doubt his visit attracted but little attention as then he was an
unsuccessful Illinois politician who had but recently been unable to win the vice-presidential nomination of his party.
Among those who were guests of the hotel, in addition to Lincoln, were Daniel Webster and James Fenimore Cooper,
according to legend. Both visited Michigan during the time the Hodges House was most famous and it is not unlikely they
tasted of its comforts.

the house. The animal kept jumping against the door which opens from the kitchen into the dining room until he forced it
open and when they went into the kitchen they were horrified to discover the kitchen on fire. If the fire had not been
discovered just at that time the house and contents would have been a smouldering mass of ruins, as it was only small

Notes for S.C. PETERS:
From the Pontiac Weekly Bill Poster.
Nay 5, 1880 - "S.C. Peters, of Boyd & Peter's show that is to give an exhibition in Pontiac to-day, came very near losing
his life at Royal Oak last Wednesday evening. He was returning from Detroit with a load of corn, and when almost home
the wagon capsized and he was buried under the load in such a way that he was unable to extricate himself. John Krepps,
his night watchman, got uneasy over the prolonged absence of Peters, and about midnight started down the road to
investigate, and had only gone half a mile when he discovered why his employer didn't return. Help was speedily
summoned and Peters was taken out more nearly dead than alive. It was a very narrow escape."
May 12, 1880 - "Boyd and Peter's combination of high sounding titles struck Pontiac last Wednesday and didn't create a
very favorable impression. The street parade was like the horseflesh, thin, and while some parts of the circus were hard to
beat, others didn't amount to much. We suppose that allowances should be made for the fact that the proprietors are young
at the business and this was their 3rd or 4th stopping place."
April 28, 1880 - "We are told that Boyd & Peters circus has come to a stand still down in Pennsylvania. Maltrome
Burkett, aged 14 years. of Somerset county, that state, claims that she was abducted and outraged and kept with the circus
for a week, being conveyed from town to town in the ticket wagon, and when allowed to leave she was partially
demented. Her story as told in court is too horrible for publication. Last Thursday S. C. Peters, A.W. Davis, Clark Rose
and John Campbell, managers, together with fifty attaches, were arrested and jailed to await examination."
June 8, 1881 - "Mr. S.C. Peters left here Monday for Minnesota. He has obtained an excellent situation as cashier in J.A.
Bowerman's bank at Detroit, Minnesota. His wife will join him in a very short time."

Those researching this feel that 1873 in Indiana is closest to being correct, but we'll probably never know for sure.
Genealogist report:
"We know that Bessie Diane Carew, daughter of Harriet Rose, married (2nd) North Granger James. The James family
appears in the 1940 MI, Oakland, Pleasant Ridge census. In various sources, North James is reported to have been born
anywhere from 1873 to 1883 in Indiana, California or Arkansas. Here he is shown as being born about 1890 in Arkansas.
Bessie is also lying about her age since we know she was born about 1881. This would indicate that she was born about
1892! An even greater mystery is the daughter Elizabeth born about 1918. This matches no known child of Bessie and
North. This child, if 22, would have been 12 in the 1930 census and 2 in the 1920. However, Elizabeth does not appear
with Bessie and North in either of these census reports. (However, we are showing Elizabeth as reported in the census.
Looking back at other census reports, I think it is pretty clear from the 1880 census report that North James was born
about 1873 in IN, a son of Richard and Ava North. Another interesting report is the 1920 CA, Los Angeles, San Antonio
report. Here, North is apparently living with a wife, Elizabeth, and a daughter, Ava H. At the same time, of course, he is
shown in the 1920, MI, Oakland, Royal Oak census, living with Bessie, her daughter Virginia (by first husband John
McGuire), and Ninette born about 1915, a daughter we have assumed to be Bessie's and North's. This, however, may not
be true either. Ninette's father is shown as being born in Canada and in this report, at least, North was born in Arkansas.
Bessie's first husband John J. McGuire was born in Canada but they were divorced in 1914. Ninette may have been
Bessie's and John McGuire's. I have never been able to find anything further on Ninette. A most unusual family! (We are
showing Ninette as a daugher of John McGuire)."

Notes from two newspaper obituries. Judge Richard H. Rose was 68 years old at the time of his death in 1925. He was a
Justice of the Peace in Royal Oak when it was a village. He served many years as secretary of the Oakland County
Historical Society and is the author of several histories on Oakland County and Pontiac. At one time he was associate
editor of the Royal Oak Tribune. He was struck by an automobile driven by Stanley Eckler, at 10 Mile and Woodward on
October 30, 1925 and died November 2, in Highland Park General Hospital. Representatives from every police
department in Oakland County led the funeral party. The guard of honor was composed of members of the Fraternal
Order of Eagles. The pall bearers were Odd Fellows. Justice Rose was born on the site of the St. James church in
Ferndale. He went north when a small boy, returning when 16 to live with his grandmother, Miss Charlotte Rose and his
aunt Miss Rosina Rose. With them he resided at Seventh and Main streets until he was married in 1900. During that time
he educated himself, was a school teacher, constable, and was elected justice of the peace in Royal Oak. As justice of the
peace, Mr. Rose served the township until 1921 when Royal Oak became a city and he was automatically retired. Later he
moved to Pleasant Ridge and last spring he again entered the republican primaries, defeating three opponents for
nomination for justice of the peace. He was elected without opposition at the regular April election. This year his court
had been held in Ferndale where Justice W. Byron Newman is located. Mr. Rose was a captain on the major-general's
staff of the Patriarchs Militant of the Michigan Canton for the last five years. He had been a member of the Odd Fellows
since he was 21, and was the last living charter member of Royal Oak Lodge, No. 424, I.O.O.F., still a member of the
local lodge. Mr. Rose was active in other fraternal organizations, including the Masons, Elks, Moose, Eagles, St.
Andrews society and the Eastern Star. Always interested in historical matters, Mr. Rose had served as president of the
Oakland County Pioneer and Historical society.

awake nights. In the course of a couple of months Mr. Rose and wife and son, William Rose, plan on a motor trip to
California where they expect to spend the winter. If we don't happen to get a chance to shake hands with Bill before he
leaves he will never miss it because he is more than likely to have all kinds of shakes after he gets there."
1925-10-29 - "STORY OF AN AUTO TRIP TO CALIFORNIA
Burbank, California, Oct. 20, 1925
Dear Messenger:
I told the Clio Messenger that I would write and must do as I said, so will give you the route we traveled. We left
Argentine, Michigan, Sept. 15, and landed in Burbank Oct. 6, and had one fine trip. The first day out it rained all day and
night. Stayed in Benton Harbor first night. Took the Lincoln Highway at South Bend and then west to Omaha, Nebraska,
then south to Kansas City, and then we took the old Santa Fe trail west to Los Animos, Colorado, then south across the
corn of Colorado to Trinidad and over the Raton Pass, then southwest to Las Tunas, New Mexico, west to Arizona where
we stopped and took a good look at the Petrified Forest and the Painted Desert or bad lands of Arizona. These were sights
214
that I will never forget. I am sending you a piece of a log. Would like to send you the whole tree, but can't. The tree is 10o
feet long and 3 feet through. I think maybe you will want to make a story of this, so will send you a folder giving all
details, as it will save one a lot of writing. I forgot to tell you we visited the old prehistoric Ruins of New Mexico. It, too,
was well worth seeing. I was told the ruined city must be over thirty thousand years old and has been under ground at
least twenty thousand years. We then went west through Arizona to needles, California. Here we entered the Mohave
desert, and we will remember it, for we got caught in one rain which made the rains in Michigan look like a light dew.
My son, Max, said he thought it never rained on the desert, but he knows different now. Well, we landed in Burbank,
California, without any further trouble and found my son, Claude, in fine shape. We have been looking the country over a
little and on Sunday went to see Santa Barbara. They sure did have some shake. Next Sunday we shall go down to San
Diego, where we can cross over to old Mexico and see the sights in that interesting land. Now, if you make a story out of
this, fix it up a little, for I have written in a hurry. I am hoping this finds you all in the best of health and that you will like
the little bit of wood I am sending you. I brought it from Arizona and now will send it to Clio there to be deposited with
the rest of your keepsakes. I am also sending you a few cards which will also help to make up for what I haven't written.
With best wishes from all the Roses,
William Rose.
This editor would acknowledge his gratitude to Mr. Rose for contributing the above very interesting account of his
journey and would also say that the story did not require any "fixing up," as it is as good, or better, than anything we
could write. We have arranged the cards which Mr. Rose refers to, a very interesting collection, by the way, in our front
windows where the public may see them, likewise the piece of wood which Mr. Rose refers to."
1925-11-12 - "A FINE RELIC - The piece of tree from the petrified forest of Arizona which we had been expecting to
receive from Wm. Rose, has arrived and is now on display in the front windows of this office. Its delay in reaching us
was explained when the expressman delivered it and we found it to weigh about 25 pounds. Our friend "Bill" carried that
big piece of rock from Arizona clear to California and from there had it sent to us at a cost of more than three dollars for
express charges. That's what we call a real tribute of friendship and incidentally an exhibition of sympathy with our
weakness for "relics." We want to say, however, that it isi the most beautiful specimen of its kind we have ever seen
outside the national museum at Washington. It is a foot long, six inches square, and is of solid vari-colored agate showing
the shape of the tree and the grain of the wood perfectly. Our sincere thanks are hereby extended to brother Bill."
1926-04-15 - "BILL ROSE WRITES - Our old friend Bill Rose of Argentine who, it will be remembered, made an
automobile trip to California last summer and sent us a good size section of a tree from the petrified forest, as one of the
incidents of the journey, has returned to his home in Michigan after spending the winter in the west. As Bill and his
estimable wife, who made the trip with him, have many friends and acquaintances in this section, we are printing below a
portion of the letter he sent us on his arrival in Michigan: Argentine, April 6, 1926 - Dear Friends: Well, here we are back
in dear old Michigan, after an absence of over six months and we're glad to get back in what I call God's country. We had
a wonderful trip and saw a lot of California but there's no place like dear old Michigan, with all her faults. When we left
Burbank we drove over the Pacific Highway to Portland, Oregon, and then over the Columbia Highway to Boise, Idaho.
Here we left my son, Max, and came the rest of the way by rail. I am sending P.O. order to renew The Clio Messenger.
With kindest regards, William Rose."
1926-06-24 - "Bill Rose of Argentine called on Clio friends, Tuesday, and was an honored guest of the Rotary Club at
luncheon."
From a newspaper obituary January, 1952. "William Leonard Rose, 90, passed away January 5 at the home of his son,
William Rose, Gaines, following a lingering illness. Funeral services were held from the Bowles Funeral Home, Linden,
Tuesday, with Burial in Glenwood (Glendale), California. Mr. Rose was born in Royal Oak April 1861, son of Mr. and
Mrs. Ransom K. Rose. He moved with his parents to Genesee County at the age of five (this may be in error as the actual
move to Vienna Twp., was in 1869 when Will would have been 8) and moved to Argentine in 1916. He was married to
Jane Holister at Davisburg in 1888. She passed away in 1926. He married Effadell Haptgood in 1929. He was a life
member of Linden Lodge No. 132, F&AM. Surviving are the widow, two sons, Claude Rose of Grant's Pass, Oregon,
and William Rose, Gaines; two sisters, Mrs. Salia Service (Rosalia Rose, husband Lafayette Servos) of Clio and Mrs.
Grace Wright (Grace R. Rose) of Detroit; four grand-children and six great-grand-children. Mr and Mrs. William Rose
accompanied the body to California. "
1927-08-04WM. ROSE OF CALIFORNIA BACK IN ARGENTINE - The Messenger received a pleasant visit, Monday,
from William Rose, a former well known resident of this locality, who later resided at Argentine, and who, for the past
year and a half has lived in Burbank, California. Mr. Rose still owns considerable property on Argentine Lake and is back
in Michigan for a limited time for the purpose of disposing of it if possible, as he plans making his home permanently in
215
California. Mr. Rose has been a splendid citizen all of his life, "square as a die" in every attribute of manhood and his
many friends will be sorry to learn that he is going to leave Michigan. They will also sympathize with him most deeply in
his bereavement through the death of his beloved companion of more than forty years. In coming back to Michigan in
May, Mr. Rose passed through the flooded section of Mississippi and for hundreds of miles saw nothing but water
covered land, with occasionally a house top above it, and with natives in boats going about and towing the carcasses of
dead animals to high ground for burial.
1927-10-06 - "William Rose of Argentine, called at the Messenger office Monday. He expects to start for California
about Oct. 20th."
1928-03-28 - "William Rose of Argentine, was in Clio this week, shaking hands with his old friends, and they were sure
glad to see him. He came from California two weeks ago, coming via the Panama Canal, stopping at Havana, Cuba. He
says it was a wonderful trip."
May 24, 1928 Clio Messenger
BILL ROSE TELLS OF PANAMA TRIP – CIRCLES FROM CALIFORNIA TO OLD HOME NEAR LAKE
ARGENTINE
Everyone in this vicinity knows, (and everyone who knows) loves Bill Rose of Argentine. His family were among the
first settlers in this district and he himself, his excellent wife and family, made their home in these parts for years. Latterly
he has resided near his sons in Burbank, Calif., but comes back to Michigan annually to look after his fine estate on the
shores of Argentine Lake. We have said that he has resided latterly in California, but this is only a half truth, because as a
matter of fact he has spent a good share of his time traveling over the continent, seeing the sights, and trying to locate the
most beautiful place to live in. In this charming quest Bill has had almost as many strange experiences as Trader Horn
and it is certainly interesting to hear him recount them. On his last visit to Clio he told the writer of a trip which he had
recently taken down the California coast, through the Panama Canal, across to the ancient city of Havana, then to Key
West, Fla. And thence by rail to his old home in Michigan. The story was to us so interesting that we requested Bill to
send us something like it for publication in the newspaper. He obligingly consented and we are presenting the story in his
own words a la Trader Horn, to the readers of the Messenger who, we are sure, will thoroughly enjoy reading it. By the
way, Mr. Rose sent us one of the cocoanuts which he refers to in his letter and which we have added to our collection.
Follows the story:
Argentine, May 15, 1928 Editor Messenger:
Dear Friend:
Thought I wouldn’t wait until I came home to Clio to tell you the story so will mail you the pamphlets describing the
countries and cities we visited and also the cocoanut that I spoke to you about. Then you can write your own story just as
well as though I were there to bother you. To give you the outline, we left the Frisco docks Feb. 28, and the ship ran
along the coast of Lower California, in sight of land, for quite a long way, and then no land at all. We reached the coast
of Nicaragua and landed at Balboa, at the west end of the Panama Canal, on Feb. 28. It took us one day to go through the
canal, and a most marvelous experience it was. I cannot begin to describe the beauty of the scenery and the massive
character of the great locks which accommodate the largest vessels afloat. It was just like one beautiful long dream to
me. After getting through the canal we remained one day in Panama to see the sights, a party of six of us employing a
guide and automobile and riding all day. The cocoanut I am sending you was picked at the ruins of the ancient city of
Panama, sacked and burned by the famous, or rather infamous, pirate Morgan, early in the 16th century. We left Panama
Feb. 30, with a four days’ run to Havana, Cuba, ahead of us, where the same bunch again hired an auto and guide for one
day, paying therefore four dollars each, and saw some of the interesting things in Cuba. Havana, it will be remembered,
is one of the oldest cities on the American continent and holds within its confines the ashes of Columbus, its discoverer.
One of the sights in Havana, which appealed to us particularly, was the monument to the American sailors who lost their
lives when the U.S. warship “Maine” was blown up in Havana harbor at the outbreak of the Spanish-American War. We
took a steamer from Havana to Key West, Fla., where we spent a couple of delightful days, and then a six hours railroad
trip took us to Miami, where we spent two days more, and from there to Bee Ridge, where we visited our dear old friends,
Dr. and Mrs. Ingram. We spent two days most delightfully with them and the came on home by way of Jacksonville,
Atlanta, Chattanooga, Cincinnati and Detroit. And – I was sure glad to get back to dear old Argentine.
Sincerely yours,
William Rose.

Notes for SARAH JANE HOLLISTER:
From the Clio Messenger.
January 26, 1912 - "A pin social will be held Tuesday evening January 30, at the home of Wm. Rose. A cordial invitation
is extended."
April 7, 1927 - "Mrs. William Rose is ill at the home of her son, Claude Rose in California. Mr. and Mrs. Rose expected
to return here, but were detained owing to the illness of Mrs. Rose."
April 21, 1927 - "Rose - The many friends of the family residing in this vicinity will be pained to learn of the death of
Mrs. William Rose, which occurred at her home in Burbank, California, on April 6, 1927. She had been in failing health
for a year or more, having been afflicted with cancer and anemia. She was born in Davisburg, Oakland county, Michigan,
August 1, 1861, the daughter of Edward and Mary Ann Hollister, and on September 6, 1888, was united in marriage to
William Rose of Clio, to whom she had been a loving, helpful and dutiful companion for all of the ensuing years. No
words of ours can be eloquent enough to pay adequate tribute to the devotion and to the matchless services of the
splendid wife and mother who is gone. No words of ours can portray the tenderness in which her memory will be
cherished by her neighbors and friends. Suffice it to say that the bereavement which all of these must feel there will creep
the constant and deeply comforting influence of the memory of her pure and loyal life. This is one of the beneficial
phases of immortality. Mr. and Mrs. Rose were the parents of four children, Emmon and Hazel, who died in infancy, and
Claud T. Rose and William M. Rose both of whom reside in Burbank. She is also survived by her husband, an old
resident of this place, to whom the sympathy of the people of this vicinity will go out in fullest measure. Funeral services
were held at the late home of the deceased in Burbank and her remains were interred in the cemetery at that place, it being
her wish that she might rest near the homes of her children."

Notes for ELWIN GEORGE BLIGHT:
From the Clio Messenger:
June 12, 1919 - "Elwin, the small son of Mr. and Mrs. James Blight fell from an upstairs window at the home of his
parents, sustaining a bad fracture of the shoulder. He was taken to Hurley hospital, Saturday, where an X-ray
examination was made in order to determine the exact nature of the fracture. The injury is believed to be quite serious
and further surgical treatment may be required to correct it."
June 19, 1919 - "Little Elwin Blight, son of Mr. and Mrs. James Blight, who fell from a second story window, as noted
in this paper last week, was taken to Hurley hospital, Tuesday, where and X-ray examination resulted in an operation
being performed in which the bones in the little boy's shoulder were wired together so they would unite in the best
possible manner. This accident is exceptionally pathetic, because the little victim is but a few months past two years of
age, and both he and his parents will have the sincerest sympathy of all who know them."
1925-08-20 - "Elwin Blight was taken to Hurley Hospital Tuesday morning and operated on for adenoids."

January 25, 1918 - "A rather striking instance of the severity of the great storm of Jan. 11-15 is embraced in the thrilling
experience of Clyde Rose, of this township, who was at that time on his way from Geneseeville to his home. When the
blizzard was at its height he was caught in a sparsley settled district and as his team was unable to get through the huge
drifts he was obliged to find shelter in an abandoned house. Here he found an old stove in which he managed to build a
fire and stabled his team in a nearby shed, remaining in the house for about twenty-four hours. His face was frozen by
exposure until it bled before he reached the house and his toes were frozen. When the storm subsided he was able to get
to a place where he secured food for himslef and team and later reached his destination. That a person could have such an
experience in this section of Michigan seems more than remarkable."
March 15, 1918 - "Clyde Rose is working in Flint."
November 16, 1922 - "Clyde Rose and George Ignatz had a smash up on the Dixie Highway recently, both cars were
badly damaged but no one was hurt."
Clyde died at his residence at 14467 N. Saginaw Road, on the farm where he had lived all of his life. Clyde's father,
Ransom Rose, originally homesteaded the property in 1869 and Clyde continued with the farm after his father's death in
1908.
The 1900 census reports that Clyde was born in September 1875. His actual date of birth and death came from the

Our original source for the date of death of Bessie was the Social Security Death Index showing July, 1969. However,
that differed from the date shown from the actual card obtained at the funeral home. We went with the date from the
Benjamin and Whipple Funeral Home of September 7, 1969.
In the early 1960's, after the death of her husband, Bessie went to live with her nephew, William McKinley Rose. As
reported by John William Rose, "Aunt Bessie was a wonderful person. She was a grandma to me and I have great
memories of her and her great home-made rolls. Bessie died on a Sunday afternoon. She hadn't been feeling well that day
and after dinner when we went out to the garden she sat in her rocking chair and rested. When we came in from the
garden we found she had passed. This was in Gaines, MI on grandpa's farm."
From the Wednesday, September 10, 1969 Clio Messenger: "ROSE. Bessie Ellen Rose, 79, of 10108 Sheridan Rd.,
Gaines, formerly of Clio, died Sunday, September 7, 1969 at the residence. Funeral services were held at 1 pm on

Rose at Clio on June 27, 1908 and he preceded her in death on May 28, 1958. Mrs. Rose was a member of the Bethany

introduction to the farmers of this section, having enjoyed their confidence and patronage in another line of business for
years. Mr. Wright helped to build the condensary and installed all of the apparatus. He has been, virtually,
superintendent of the manufacturing for some time, so that we have every reason to believe he will conduct the plant

bought the property from them. One of these houses Mr. Carter intended to occupy himself, and as a consequence of the

From the History of Michigan by Charles Moore, 1915.
"Lester A. Wright. Though still in his twenties, Mr. Wright has shown the qualities of a progressive and successful man
of business, and is one of the ablest merchants of Clio. He is a lumber dealer and manufacturer in that locality, and if past
performances are a criterion by which to judge the future, Mr. Wright has a career of splendid accomplishments before
him.
He was born in Saginaw county in Birch Run Township, December 12, 1877, a son of George W. and Cecelia (sic)
(Wheeks) Wright. The ancestors on the paternal side are English, though the paternal grandmother was Scotch. The
Wheeks family were likewise of English origin, and among the ealy settlers of Michigan, while the Wrights first settled in
New York. George W. Wright was born in New York, and in 1863, when twelve years old, the family settled as pioneers
in Birch Run Township of Saginaw county. George W. Wright is still living, and is a very successful man. In politics he
235
is Republican, and has membership in the Methodist church. Cecelia Wheeks was born in Michigan, in Genesee county,
and her father was one of the pioneers of this section, a hunter and trapper in the early days, and later a substantial farmer.
He is also still living, and of her six children, five are alive, as follows: Myrtie Wright, deceased; Lester A.; Arthur C.
Wright, who is a farmer in Birch Run Township; Clara, wife of Irvin Covert, of Clio; and Hattie, wife of George Zeuligg,
a farmer of Birch Run township.
Lester A. Wright grew up on a farm, had a country school education and finished with the Lamar village schools. At the
age of eighteen he left school and took up th active work of a career and continued at farming until he was twenty-two.
Learning the carpenter's trade, he followed that vocation as a journeyman, and gradually got into contracting, which was
his exclusive work up to 1909. He then established the L.A. Wright Lumber Company at Clio, his associate in the
enterprise being Ernest May. This firm also conducts another lumber yard at Mount Morris and outside the city of Flint
they do the largest lumber business in Genesee county. Mr. Wright has membership in the Michigan Retail Lumber
Dealers' Association. He is still actively identified with building and contracting business, and his record in that line
included a large number of important structures in Genesee county. In the spring of 1912 Mr. Wright entered the
manufacturing field when he took the general management of the Clio Manufacturing Company, a new industry, the
output of which is tables. The factory employes about eighteen workmen and the business is getting well established an
promises to be a very important local institution in the village of Clio. Mr. Wright is a Republican, but little part in
politics except as a worker for good government and the best interests of his home community. He has served as
councilman for several terms and is now president of the Clio Board of Trade. His church is the Methodist. On October
12, 1899, he was married in Vienna, Genesee county, to Miss Grace R. Rose who was born in Michigan, a daughter of
Ransom K. Rose, one of the early settlers in Genesee county. They have two children, Gladys, born November 1, 1900,
at Birch Run; and Harold R. Wright, born November 14, 1909, at Saginaw."

tracks, and at the north end of Railway Street, L.A. Wright manufactured sash and doors, and in partnership with Ernest
May, established the May Lumber Company. The company built about 30 homes and the Thetford Church. A disastrous
fire destroyed the business in 1914". Newspaper accounts also show Lester in the Hard Coal business as well as the
founder of the Clio Condensary. In 1913, at a cost of $40,000 a factory was erected adjacent to the railroad, west of the
tracks and on the south side of Johnson Street. The promoters planned to buy milk from farmers and process it into
powdered milk. It soon became evident that more water was needed than their well could produce. More bad luck
followed because of two disabling fires. After the construction of an expensive pipe line and pumping station for
obtaining water from the Pine Run Creek, the company was sold to the Detroit Creamery Co. in 1915.
The following are articles from the Royal Oak Tribune:
July 30, 1915 - "L.A. Wright, of Clio is the guest of his brother-in-law, R.H. Rose. Mr. Wright was formerly interested in

289. CHARLOTTE BELL9 HALL (REBECCA ANGELINE8 ROSE, CHARLOTTE7 BAILEY, CONSTANT6, ROBERT5, JABEZ4, EPHRAIM3,
JOHN2, JOHN1)5628 was born 10 Feb 1872 in Royal Oak, MI5629, and died 24 Jan 19485629. She married PERCIVAL
WILLOUGHBY PARMENTER5630 26 Aug 1897 in Troy, MI, at the home of William and Rebecca Hall, the brides parents5631,
son of WILLIAM PARMENTER and MARY ?. He was born 25 Nov 1872 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, and died 19 Nov
1945 in Troy, MI5632.
Notes for CHARLOTTE BELL HALL:
From a Pontiac, MI newspaper.
1897-08-27 - "Invitations are out for the marriage of Miss Lotta Hall, daughter of Mark Hall, Birmingham, to Percival W.
Parmenter of Toronto, Ontario, Wednesday evening Sept. 1st."
From a newspaper wedding announcement dated Thursday, September 3, 1897. "Married last Wednesday evening at the
home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Mark Hall, two and one half miles east of this place (Birmingham), their
daughter, Miss Lottie to Percival Parmenter of Toronto Ontario. The young couple will make their home in Toronto,
where Mr. Parmenter has an excellent position in a large wholesale house. They have a host of friends who wish them
smooth sailing over the matrimonial sea."
A newspaper article dated December 31, 1897 states that "Mr and Mrs. Mark Hall are the guests of their daughter, Mrs.
Percy Parmenter at Toronto, Ont."
Charlotte and Percy returned from Toronto sometime after March 1900 as evidenced by this article in the Clawson section
of the Birmingham Eccentric, March 2, 1900.
"Mark Hall is drawing logs to the mill. There are to be extensive repairs on the farm his daughter is to occupy".
Before her marriage, Mrs. Parmenter was a successful teacher of music and was a popular reader. Her mother, Mrs. Hall,
was for years a valued member of the Baptist Church. The Parmenters have been active members of that church for a long
time. Lottie and Percival had three daughters and one son, Walter. Charlotte was the Director of the Baptist Children's
239
Home at 13 Mile Road and Greenfield. Their son, Walter H. Parmenter, was adopted from this home when he was 12
years old. Mrs. Parmenter was on the subscription committee of the Baptist Church for the 1916 remodeling fund drive.
Charlotte and her husband Percy held numerous positions in the church from around 1912 to their deaths.
Charlotte was an active member of the temperance movement. The following is an excerpt from the Birmingham
Eccentric, October 7, 1910.
"The Woman's Christian Temperance Union held their regular monthly meeting Friday afternoon, Sept. 30, at the home
of Mrs. Brace on Center street. About 20 ladies were present. Mrs. Percy Parmenter was elected reporting delegate to the
county convention which is to be held early in November."
From the Birmingham Eccentric as dated.
November 7, 1911. "Many people attended the W.C.T.U. country convention held in Pontiac last week Tuesday. Mrs
Parmenter gave the address of the opening meeting and it was followed by a very interesting discussion. Her subject was,
"Does office work tend to make girls careless of their morals." Her paper was based on personal observance and was very
interesting."
May 2, 1924. "The last meeting of the Woman's Literary Club for the current club year took the form of a potluck
luncheon Tuesday afternoon at "High Breeze", the home of Mrs. P.W. Parmenter on Crookes road."
April 31, 1925. "Members of the Woman's Literary Club will hold their final session of the current year next Tuesday
afternoon at "High Breeze", the home of Mrs. P.W. Parmenter on Crooks road, where the newly elected officers will be
installed."

Notes for PERCIVAL WILLOUGHBY PARMENTER:
From the Birmingham Eccentric, dates as listed.
March 3, 1903, front page article. "The farm residence of Percy Parmenter was consumed by fire Monday afternoon. Mr.
Parmenter was in town when he heard of it and hastened home to find everything all in. The fire is supposed to have
caught from a stove in a front room and was well underway when discovered. About 25 neighbors hustled out everything
possible. The contents of the cellar and upper floors were lost; building fully insured in the Monitor."
August 7, 1908, front page article condensed. "HEAVY FIRE LOSS - Percy Parmenter Again Scourged by the
Destroying Elements - Barns and Crops Are All Gone. Fire completely consumed the barns and outbuildings, with all
their contents on the Percy Parmenter farm, three miles south and east of this village Saturday evening. Although the
cause of the fire is not known, it is the opinion of Mr. Parmenter and family that it was due entirely to spontaneous
combustion. The new hay had been piled in the mows and the buildings then closed. It is figured that the gases in the hay
had no way to escape from the closed buildings. The quantities of gas must have been immense, as the family claims that
from the time the fire was first noticed, it was not three minutes until all three buildings, where the hay was stored, were
bursting in flames. The Parmenter farm, which is one of the most prosperous farms in Troy, was visited by fire less than
three years ago. At that time the house was consumed but has since been rebuilt. Mr. Parmenter estimates his loss at not
less than $10,000, with an insurance of $2,200."
October 13, 1916. "P.W. Parmenter, chairman of the County Dry Commission, is a very busy man nowadays. His duties
are manifold but he fills the bill. Last week, he met with the Milfordites at the residence of Clarence Pearson and a club
was organized for an aggressive campaign for the dry movement."
Percival and Lottie lived at 307 Brown St., located at the SE corner of W. Brown and Pierce in Birmingham. The move
to this home was reported in the November 21, 1919 issue of the Birmingham Eccentric. In later years, Percy and Lottie
moved to 4935 Crooks Road, just north of 14 Mile Road on the west side of Crooks. Percival went to Toronto Business
240
College in 1895. He was a member of the First Baptist Church and a member of the F. & A. M. No. 94. Percival owned
the "Parmenter Florist" located at 159 West Maple, Birmingham, MI in partnership with his son, Walter H. Parmenter.
(See "More About" Walter Parmenter). Mr. Parmenter was Treasurer of the First Baptist Church in 1925 and was on the
construction committee in 1916 related to a remodeling project.

Notes for BENJAMIN MART BAILEY:
From the Wellsboro Agitator.
253
November 14, 1900 - ""Mr. and Mrs Elton Bailey and Mr. Mart Bailey will remove to Syracuse, N.Y. Mart expects to
enter Syracuse University."
February 27, 1901 - "It is reported that Mr. B. Mart Bailey has bee appointed as Naval Cadet at Annapolis and that
Wayne J. Coveny has been appointed alternate, both young gentlemen being from this county."
From the Wellsboro Gazette.
April 20, 1905 - "Honor for Mansfield Boy. The United States has conferred an honor upon Benjamin Mart Bailey. of
Mansfield, who is well known in Wellsboro, having taught school in this vicinity a few years ago. Mr. Bailey was one of
40 candidates selected by examination for appointment from civil life to the army as second lieutenants. Twelve
candidates were appointed. Mr. Bailey ranked first among these. He is a graduate of St. Johns Military School at Manilus,
N.Y."
From the Wellsboro Agitator.
July 4, 1906 - "Last Friday Major Glenn, officer in command, at Fort Thomas, Kentucky, appointed Lieutenant Benjamin
Mart Bailey, formerly of Mansfield, and well known here, as one of the officers to aid in the inspection of the 750 cadets
at the Ohio State university and to act as judge."
September 26, 1906 - "Lieut. Benjamin Mart Bailey, of the 4th U.S. Infantry, stationed at Fort Thomas, Kentucky, is
spending a ten days' leave of absence with Mansfield and Wellsboro relatives. His regiment has been in camp at Fort
Benjamin Harrison, near Lawrence, Indiana, during most of the summer."
November 7, 1906 - "Lieutenant Benjamin Mart Bailey, formerly of Mansfield, now stationed at Fort Thomas, Kentucky,
has been for the past few weeks on the Licking river, near Fort Thomas, with his battalion, at target practice. Lieut.
Bailey, successfully made the "marksman" and "sharp shooter" classes and was awarded a medal for so qualifying. He
took first place in his battalion. AT a range of 1,000 yards, he made 44 points out of a possible 50, entitling him to first
place for mark-manship in his regiment."
August 7, 1907 - "The following from the Louisville, Ky, Courier-Journal will be of interest to the numerous friends here
of Lieut. B.M. Bailey, formerly of Mansfield: "So far as is known, there is only one precedent in the history of the United
States army for the action of Second Lieut. Benjamin Mart Bailey, Fourth Infantry, now stationed at Ft. Thomas,
Kentucky, in refusing a promotion to a first lieutenancy in the Coast artillery, although it will be four years or more
before he will receive a promotion in the infantry. Lieut. Bailey preferred this branch of the service. He gives as his
reason for declining; 'In view of possible hostilities in the East I prefer to be in the service at the seat of action He
expects to sail with his regiment for the Philippines in March next."
During WWI Lieutenant-Colonel Benjamin Mart Bailey wrote a letter to his wife in Atlanta. describing the experience of
being shelled by Hun batteries and the impressions incident to shelling the Germans in return. The letter was described as
one of the brightest spotlights on actual war sensations yet received. It was originally published in the Atlanta
Constitution July 14, 1918. A portion of the letter was then reprinted in the Wellsboro Gazette, July 31. 1918.
Subsequently to the shelling of the Germans, a Colonel commanding an infantry Division, French Army, called
headquarters to say that B.M. Bailey's work was extremely gratifying. He went on to say that Major Bailey showed
excellent judgement when communication with the infantry he was supporting had been cut, in putting down barrages
where his own estimate of the situation showed they were needed. He further stated that the work of the batteries was
technically of a high order. Since the letter was written, he was promoted to Lieutenant Colonel and assigned to the 316th
Field Artillery.
From the Wellsboro Agitator, January 14, 1920.
"Colonel Benjamin M. Bailey (formerly of Mansfield and well known in Wellsboro, where he has many friends), of the
Atlanta Army recruiting station, is wearing two silver stars as a result of a recent general order from Washington in which
he was twice cited for gallantry, once at Toulon-Thoyon and once at Chateau-Thierry, while commanding the Fifteenth
Field Artillery, Second Division. Colonel Bailey returned from a short leave during which he visited in New York. He
received the citations while in Washington on his way back home. --Atlanta Journal."

From the Atlanta Constitution, January 16, 1921.
"At the dinner-dance at the Piedmont Driving club last night, an enjoyable occasion, assembling a company of one
hundred, Major and Mrs. Benjamin Mart Bailey entertained General W.R. Sample, who is army inspector for the
southeastern states, and Mrs. Juliette Ballenger Mosely."
From the Wellsboro Agitator, November 24, 1926.
"The Atlanta Georgian says "Delightful among visitors here are the Benjamin Mart Baileys, who have come back from
Major Bailey's most recent detail at Governor's Island, New York, to spend several weeks with Rosalie Davis (Mrs.
Bailey's parents, the Charles A. Davises, on Peachtree street. A gratifying semblance of duration is given the visit by the
placing of their young son in school here. One was impressed by the very genuine and generous compliment which 'Mart
Bailey bestowed upon his lovely wife, the former belle in Atlanta society. It was to the effect that Rosalie Davis charming
address and sincerity of manner were an asset to any man in whatever walk of life. Major Bailey, on the staff of General
Summerall, detailed recently to Washington, is making his first visit among us for six years past. Although Rosalie has
been with us meanwhile, both Major and Mrs. Bailey are receiving the most cordial welcome from their many friends. "
Major Bailey was detailed to represent Major General Summerall, Chief of Staff of the U.S. Army, at a luncheon and
reception given Queen Marie, and the following letter, written by Queen Marie, was placed in the hands of Major Bailey,
to be sent to Governor Walker at Atlanta. "Georgia. The county of wonderful pines and commerce. To which we owe so
much all over the world. Who has not heard of that beautiful name, Atlanta. The wonders of the new world in America as
created by man, appear before our minds' eye when we think of Georgia. I am enthusiastic to know you and to tell you
how I love you for what you have done in your tremendous achievements toward winning the victory to bring peace to
the world."
We believe that "Queen Marie" referred to above was Queen Marie of Romania. There is a photo album featuring
photographs of Queen Marie and her family from 1904 online at:

From the Wellsboro Gazette.
January 22, 1925 - "In a fire which raged in a large shed on Governor's Island last week, Col. Benjamin Mart Bailey,
formerly of Mansfield, lost his favorite horse, Bourbon. He was a valued Kentucky horse that Co. Bailey had ridden for
several years, and one of 24 horses, valued at $20,000 lost in the fire."
June ?, 1925 -" Major B. Mart Bailey, U. S. A. stationed at Governor's Island as aide de camp to General Summerall was

April 21, 1927 - "Major B. Mart Bailey, of General McRae's staff at Governor's Island, was an over Sunday guest at the
home of his cousin, Mrs. Frank Pagan."
Excerpt from an article in the Atlanta Constitution, February 13, 1921.
"Major Bailey has been stationed in Atlanta since his return to America from the war. He was cited for bravery five times,
three at Chateau Thierry, one at St. Mihiel and one at Solssons. He was in command of an artillery brigade which
supported the advance of the marines at Chateau Thierry when the first official entrance of American units was reported

Notes for CHARLES A. SMITH:
From Portrait and Biographical Record of Orange County, New York, 1895.
"CHARLES H. SMITH, of Middletown, is a successful architect and civil engineer, and at present is serving in the latter
capacity, the duties of which office he has discharged in a manner eminently satisfactory to the people. His office is
located in the Trust Building, at No. 75 North Street, and his time is busily occupied in the management of his extensive
business and professional interests.
The first representative of this branch of the Smith family in Orange County was our 5ubject's grandfather, Melancton,
a native of New York, and a farmer in Chenango County, whence he removed to the town of Wallkill. When advanced in
years he came to Middletown and settled at No. 12 William Street, where he lived retired until his death, at the age of
seventy-five. Our subject's father, George, was born in Oxford, Chenango County, but was reared in Orange County.
Early in life he entered the employ of the Erie Road, and after a time became Roadmaster of the Eastern Division of the
Erie. In 1887 he accepted a position as Roadmaster for the New York, Susquehanua & Western Railroad, which position
he still holds, with headquarters at Middletown. His wife, Abbie J. Horton. was born in the town of Wallkill, and was the
daughter of A. J. Horton, who for many years served as station agent and Postmaster at Howells.
The family of George and Abbie J. Smith consisted of seven children, of whom all but one are living. Charles H., who is
256
next to the eldest, was born in Howells, this county, in 1861, and was reared principally in Paterson. N. J., where he
resided from the age of six to sixteen. From that place he came to Middletown, where he has since resided, After
graduating from Wallkill Academy, at the age of nineteen, he took up civil engineering, and spent two years in practical
work under Chief Engineer 0. Channte, of the Erie Road. He then entered Lehigh University, and for two years was a
student in the department of civil-engineering. Later he was Assistant Engineer between Ridgewood and Rutherford. N.
J., after which he was promoted to the position of Division Engineer on the Erie, his headquarters being at Elmira for two
years. He was then transferred to a similar position on the Western Division, with headquarters at Homellsville, his
territory being between that city and Dunkirk, also the Bradford (Pa.) Branch. In that capacity he was employed for two
and one half years.
At Homellsville, N. Y., in 1800, Mr. Smith married Miss Minnie A Hollands, whose father, George Hollands, was a
prominent business man of that place and at one time Sheriff of Steuben County. In 1890 Mr. Smith was appointed
Assistant Chief Engineer of the New York, Ontario & Western Railway, with headquarters at Middletown. For three
years he held that position, being under E. Canfield.Chief Engineer, and having charge of the division extending from
Oswego to New York City, with all the branches. In 1893 he resigned in order to give his attention wholly to civilengineering, and in the spring of the following year he opened an office in Middletuwn. About the same time he was
appointed City Engineer by the Council, in which capacity he has since served.
A number of new streets in this city have been opened by Mr. Smith, He is Chief Engineer of the Middletown & Goshen
Traction Company, of which he was one of the organizers, and in which he is a stockholder and Director. He laid out the
Central Park Addition to the city. comprising six hundred acres, also the R. N. Boak tract of forty acres, Columbia Park,
Richmond Hill and other portions of the city that are fast growing in popularity. He had the contract for the engineering
of water works at various towns in the county, and is now making surveys, and is Chief Engineer, for the Middletown &
Bloomingburg Electric Street Railroad, being one of the organizers and Directors of that company. Recently he completed
an elegant residence for his family at No. i29 South Street, and in addition to this property he owns nine acres of land in
the southern part of the city.
It has been Mr. Smith's custom to attend the annual meetings of the American Society of Civil Engineers, of which he is
a member. He is connected with the Middletown Club, the Board of Trade, and is an honorary member of the Excel Hook
and Ladder Company. In religious belief he is associated with the Second Presbyterian Church of Middletown. He is an
enterprising business man, and employs four assistants in his office"

Notes for HARRY B. KINGSLEY:
From the Wellsboro Agitator.
July 11, 1900 - "Maimed on the Fourth. Rain marred the largely -attended celebration of the Fourth at Blossburg, but a
much more serious drawback than that made itself felt before the festivity was over. Mr. Harry B. Kingsley, a young man
from Mansfield, well known in this borough, had his right hand mangled terribly in the evening, while in front of Smith
& Landon's jewelry store, engaged, with friends, in firing giant firecrackers.
The cracker which did the fearful work had been lighted twice, but failed to explode, and when picked up by Mr.
Kingsley and lighted the third time, there were only two inches of the fuse left. He lighted the fuse and was about to
throw the cracker in the roadway, when he saw a horse and buggy approaching, and as he hesitated considerately [sic],
the great cracker exploded in his hand. The first and second fingers were torn off bodily and the thumb and fourth finger
were lacerated terribly.
Mr. Kingsley was removed immediately to the Cottage Hospital where his injury was treated and he was made as
comfortable as possible. He has just finished his second year as a student in the Philadelphia Dental College, and it
would seem that his injury would prevent his following his chosen profession.
The large plate glass window of the jewelry store, near which Mr. Kingsley stood when his terrible misfortune befell
him, was demolished entirely by the concussive force of the explosion."
July 10, 1912 - "The New Era flouring mill on North Main Street was sold on Monday to the Equity Society, of
Wellsboro, by C.S. Kingsley & Co. Possession will be given on Monday next. Harry B. Kingsley, for several years past
manager of the mill, will remain with the new owners a few weeks."

From the Wellsboro Agitator.

November 3, 1920 - "Miss Julia Strange, daughter of Mrs. Marietta Strange, was married Oct. 17, to Harry Kingsley.
They were unattended and the only guests were her mother and Mrs. Joseph H. Bond. Rev. Mr. Bond performed the
ceremony. They have both always resided in Mansfield. Mr. Kingsley is proprietor of the New Era Feed Mills. Mrs.
Kingsley is a trained nurse. They left Oct 18 by motor car for a wedding trip and after their return will make their home
in Mansfield. They have the best wishes of a host of friends."
[Prospect Cemetery records report that Harry was born in 1874. It also reports that Julia was born in 1883 which is a
significant difference from what is shown in the 1930 census. However, the Prospect Cemetery records are most likely
correct concerning Julia Strange's birth date (1883). The 1920 PA, Tioga, Mansfield census shows Julia, still living with
her mother, at age 34. So, most likely, the 1930 census is in error.]

From the Wellsboro Agitator.
February 1, 1899 - "James Sherwood, the nine-month old son of Surgeon and Mrs. John E. Bacon, died of meningitis
last Friday at the home of Mrs. Bacon's parents, Mr. and Mrs. John D. James, in Elmira, NY. The remains were
brought to this borough, and a private funeral was held at the home of Surgeon Bacon's parents, Dr. and Mrs. M.L.
Bacon, on Sunday afternoon. The occasion was peculiarly sad because the parents of the child were both at Fort Grant,
Arizona, where Surgeon Bacon secured a position on account of his wife's failing health. When they left for the far
west a month ago, it was deemed best to leave their child with its grandparents in Elmira on account of Mrs. Bacon's
health. They have the sympathy of many friends in their bereavement."

Leipzig-Gohlis. He studied chemistry at the University of Leipzig, earning his Ph.D. in Chemistry in @1907. Paula also
was a Ph.D. student in Chemistry, the first woman in that department at the university. After a two year Fellowship in the
U.S. at Harvard, Morton went back to Germany. He and Paula married in 1910, and came to the U.S. where Morton took
a position as Professor of Physics at Worcester Polytechnic in Worcester MA. My mother Vera Mildred Masius was born
in Worcester in 1919; her older sister Marguerite was born in Worcester in 1917. They are both alive, Marguerite lives in
Paris with her husband Robert Hammond and my dad, Alan D. Ferguson, died a number of years ago. My mother lives
nearby here in Lexington, MA. There is a slew of kids and grandkids. My grandparents never went back to Germany to
live, since WWI broke out soon after and it became impossible. My mother believes that she has Liebisch cousins in
Germany, but because Leipzig was in East Germany, and due to the chaos of WWII, she has never been able to find out.."
A portion of Two Towers; The Story of Worcester Tech 1865-1965 which concern Morton Masius.
" According to Professor Wilbur or his associate, Bernard Hildebrand, the reactor was not complex or dangerous.
Nevertheless there were safety precautions. Doors were securely locked; permission was required for admittance, and the
reactor, monitored twenty-four hours a day, was connected by telephone to police headquarters via the American District
Telegraph Company. Only twice did the squawking sound of the alarm rasp its way across campus - once when the
professor forgot to shut off the automatic alarm when he entered the room on a Saturday morning, again when a change in
voltage tripped the alarm, A.D.T. guards, police, and reporters so soon swarmed around the old Washburn building that
no one again doubted the efficacy of the reactor's safety provisions. "But sooner or later" predicted Wilbur, "some student
is going to smuggle a gold fish into the pool."
The reactor was soon used by all departments of the school to teach the handling of radioactive materials and to
illustrate the fundamentals of reactor operations. Its most important function from a community point of view, however
was the advantageous proximity of radioactive isotope production, which was made available free of charge by both the
reactor and the accelerator to non profit organizations such as schools and hospitals for research in activation analysis.
Possible applications of atomic research appeared to be endless, and the world held its breath to see how rationally this
devastating and wondrous power would be used - in medicine, agriculture, construction and industry or in human
annihilation. At any rate, Tech's facilities were now exceptional for the study of molecules and atoms, thanks to the
reactor and to the accelerator in Olin Hall.
Many dignitaries and guests attended the dedication ceremonies of Olin Hall. During the procession a comparatively
new professor, Benjaman A. Wooten, stood on the sidelines busily snapping pictures. Everyone was seated, the program
about to begin, when Professor Wooten saw a lone figure trudging up the West Street walk from Salisbury. The man
wore a white suit, a Panama hat, white buckskin shoes, striped shirt, bright tie, and a jaunty air which unmistakably
belonged to Morton Masius.
Hurriedly, Professor Wooten volunteered to find a place for the elderly visitor. "There'll be a place for me, " said Dr.
Masius with confident dignity.
And indeed there was a place for this emeritus professor who had come back to share the pleasure of this great day, a
day which he had helped make possible by his own scholarly achievements. "

Notes for LEE CARLTON PORRITT:
From the Clarkston Community News.
May 21, 1921 - "Fire from embers from burning brush carried to straw stacks, but for the assistance of neighbors, would
have completely destroyed the large barns on the Porritt Farm, Seymour Lake, Friday the 6th. The water tanks for cattle
and a large cistern provided sufficient water."
June 4, 1921 - "Glenn Boice, of Elsie, spent the week end with his cousin, Lee Porritt."
From the Lake Orion Review.
September 19, 1969 - "In 1921 Lee Porritt started what was to become one of the finest dairys in our area. From a small
herd of 12 cows and horse-drawn vehicle he bottled and delivered milk throughout the near by lake area. Because of poor
health, in 1933 he sold his business to his son Edward who continued to service the area and to expand to neighboring
communities. As sales increased the milk production of several nearby farms was needed. In 1939 Porritt moved to the
present location at 1758 Clarkston Rd. Even though a fire completely destroyed the original wood frame building and all
the delivery equipment, Porritt did not miss one delivery after the fire. The Porritt Dairy has continued to expand, and
several other dairies were purchased in the nearby area. Milk is procured from various farmers in Oakland, Lapeer and
Macomb counties and employment has been provided for 35 persons in the area. William "Bill" Porritt, Edward's son,
grew up helping his Dad in the dairy. After serving in the Army during World War II, he took a course at Michigan State
in dairying. Upon his return to the business, Bill was appointed business manager and made a partner in the concern. The
Porritt family owes a great deal of their success to the fact that they have always given their customers the best that can be
had in pure milk, cream and other dairy products."

the front and four hundred yards at the back, and moving at thirty-five miles an hour."
April 20, 1945 - "Sgt. Elmer Bailey, Mariana Islands: "I am getting the paper quite regularly now and it sure tells about
things changing and some of the older folks passing away.
We have been back to Oahu, Hawaii, on a twelve day rest, and the Red Cross did everything they could to make us
enjoy ourselves. There was bowling, ball games, swimming and beach picnics. The girls sewed and went to town and
did our shopping for us.
We had all the steaks, porkchops, meat loaves and good mashed potatoes with brown gravy and milk, all we wanted.
Then when we came back here to eat canned food we sure missed it."
May 18, 1945 - "S/Sgt. Elmer Bailey, Mariana Islands: "The crew I have been flying with have finished their missions.
I have twenty-seven in so far. Our garden has been doing very well. We have had radishes, carrots and will soon have
lettuce. The worms got the tomatoes before they got ripe. Some of the boys have very nice flower gardens.""
September 7, 1945 - "S/Sgt. Elmer Bailey, Ryukus, writes: "We had on of the biggest celebrations, with all kinds of
guns shooting and rockets, flares and the prettiest fire works of any Fourth of July I ever saw, when we heard that Japan
wanted to call it finished..
This is a pretty nice place. We have plenty of pine trees, but no palms like there were at Guam. I am so sorry not to
have seen Robert Gavette, but had to leave on short notice and now I'm about fourteen hundred miles from him, so
don't think he will be able to get over to see me now.""
October 5, 1945 - "Staff Sgt. Elmer Bailey, Okinawa, writes: "I have had one misson over China, hitting Shanghai. On
282
the missoin at Nagashaki on of the planes just ahead of us got a direct hit in the pilot's compartment, killing about four
of the men. They started to dive and about half way down the plane blew up, and I was watching all this from the nose
turret, which sure did upset me terribly to see our buddies going down and no way to get them out alive. We may be on
our way home by the time you get this letter.""

Notes for JAMES C. EDSILL:
From the Progress Review.
August 5, 1943 - "Jim Edsill is home on furlough from Farragut, Idaho. He will return on Friday to his training.
His birthday was celebrated last Sunday by a dinner in the home of his grandmother, Mrs. Elmina Edsill, and a supper in
the home of his wife's parents, Mr. and Mrs. La Verne Clark. Mr. and Mrs. Forrest Smith and family of Waterloo were
out-of-town guests."
November 25, 1943 - "University of Illinois, November 1, 1943 - Dear Editor,
As I have a few minutes to spare, I will drop you a few lines to let you know I am getting the hometown paper regularly
now. It really is wonderful to read and reread the events of the little city. I wish to thank you very much for making it
possible that we fellows can keep up on the happenings about the places known to us. Of course, it might be thought that
this being a university the news would be plentiful, but it is nothing about the folks back home.
The university of Illinois has devoted numerous buildings to the naval training program. There are three units of the
Navy here, the signal, the diesel and the V-12s. To further crowd the city there are soldiers of the ASTP and other groups
stationed here. Saturday night it is really a service center.
I would appreciate it very much if you could give me the address of Merle L. Smith and Maxwell Hughes, both local
boys. I would like to hear from them, but we don't have each others' address.
Well, I guess I must finish as it is nearly time for taps. Thanks again for the paper and keep it coming. Here's wishing
all my buddies lots of luck and see you soon. Jim Edsill.

who wished to demonstrate some new angles in the old art. As he was being tossed about, Lorenzen said to himself,
"There's something very familiar about all this." Then he took another look at the instructor who, sure enough, was
Lieutenant Eriksen. The other man in the Waterloo trio was Merlin Edsill (right), son of Mr. and Mrs. Floyd M. Edsill of
125 Linwood avenue. The two boys were on Waterloo West's wrestling squad in 1940 and '41 when Lieutenant Eriksen
coached the team to state championships. Followed quite a gabfest about Waterloo and Iowa. Edsill is an aviation

July 18, 1934 - "Wilson R. Hubbard, aged 70 years, a former Tioga County Treasurer, died July 7, at the Blossburg
hospital after a long illness; burial at Mansfield. Mr. Hubbard was born in Richmond township, son of Mr. and Mrs.
Delos Hubbard. He was an invalid for many years, due to an injury to his back, but during his later life had almost
completely recovered.
Since entering the hospital on April 2, he submitted to two operations and his many friends were hoping that he was
making progress towards recovery. Early July 7 he suffered a heart attack, and he died before his relatives could reach his
bedside.
Wilson Hubbard was the son of Delos W. and Roxania Burley Hubbard and was born in Richmond Township, January
15, 1864. He was graduated from the Mansfield State Normal School in 1882 and from Coleman's Business College in
1885. He taught four terms of school, one at Elk Run, two at Little Marsh, and the fourth near Mainesburg, known as the
Doud school. After graduating from the business college he was offered a position on it's faculty but refused it to teach at
Little Marsh in order to be nearer home.
While working in the woods he received an injury to his back in June, 1887. For 15 years after he was unable to walk
and never fully recovered from the effects of the accident.
On March 17, 1909 he married Lidah, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. S.A. Sparling. Mr Hubbard was for many years a
faithful member and efficient worker in the Mansfield Methodist church. The funeral, which was conducted by Rev.
D.W. Baylis, was held in the Mansfield Methodist church. The pallbearers were: C.C. Howe, E.L. Fuller, G.B. Strait,
Charles Hawley, W.H. Killbore and B. Smith. The large number present and the beautiful floral pieces testified to the
high regard in which he was held. The unwavering courage and Christian fortitude with which he bore his suffering will
always be remembered by his friends.
He was secretary of Grange Mutual Fire Insurance Company for may years, was active in Grange work and served as
County Treasurer from 1924 to 1928. For the past several years he had been employed by Elwin C. Hawk as Manager of
Hawk's East avenue garage. He is survived by his widow, two children, Lawrence and Wilda, and a brother, Clarence
Hubbard."
