The Milton Eagle, May 13, 1898, OBITUARY:
Died, at the home of Mr. A. Hopson, eight miles from this city, on Saturday, May 7, 1898, of Bright's disease of the kidneys, Mrs. Ella Martin Bailey, aged 42 years, one month and 13 days.
Mrs. Ella Martin Bailey, the subject of this sketch, was the beloved wife of Mr. W. H. Bailey, of this city, and was temporarily visiting at the Hopson residence to try the effect of fresh county air on her health, when the end unexpectedly came. She returned home from the farm Wednesday before her death on a visit to her husband and children and seemed in unusual spirits and greatly improved in health. Later, however, alarming symptoms developed, and although two skilled physicians were called to minister to her ailments and stay, if possible, the hand of death, their efforts were of no avail and she passed peacefully away Saturday evening surrounded by her husband and children.
Deceased was the daughter of Elam Martin, Princeton, Canada. She was married to William H. Bailey in October, 1886. Three children, a husband and an aged father mourn her loss. At the time of her death she was president of the Woman's Relief Corps of this city, an auxiliary of the G. A. R. She was a tireless worker in the cause of charity and religion and a large circle of friends and co-laborers that once received her aid and counsel will sadly miss her. A good Christian woman, a lover and dutiful wife and mother has been called to the great beyond.
Funeral services were held Sunday afternoon at the Christian church, of which denomination deceased was a member, Elder C. F. Goode officiating. The remains were interred in the Old Odd Fellows Cemetery. The funeral procession was escorted to the Cemetery by Hercules Lodge, K. of P. and a division of Stone River Post, G. A. R. Members of the W. Roman Catholic performed the beautiful ritualistic offices for the dead of that order at the church at the conclusion of Elder Goode's sermon. A large concourse of sympathizing neighbors and friends attended the funeral service at the church, and accompanied the funeral cortege to the grave.
