Violet and John were married in McConnelsville in Morgan Co., Ohio on January 19, 1832.
Death of Grandma Bailey
“Mrs. Violet Bailey died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Cook, Thursday morning, April 11 at 4:10 o’clock. She was 90 years old February 10th last. Five weeks ago she took a severe cold, from the effects of which she was unable to recover owing to her advanced age. The final struggle was long, but ended in a calm and peaceful death.
Mother Bailey was twice a pioneer. Born in Pennsylvania in 1805 she came when a child with her parents to Morgan County, Ohio; that was then the western frontier. The indian was still there and deer and panthers were inhabitants of the forests.
She married John Bailey in McConnelsville, Ohio, and in 1846 they came to Iowa, just a month before the state was admitted. That was 48 years ago. Then all this region was in its wild state. The settlers numbered not more that a dozen. This country has grown up under her eye. To form a conception of the long span of her life, one must see the wave of civilization roll westward from Ohio to the Pacific ocean and see almost three generations of men come and go upon the stage of life. It was a long life to live, but she lived it well. She was a good mother, a noble woman, beloved by all who knew her. Her husband died here in 1862, and today her body will be laid beside his in the eternal silence of the grave.
Funeral today at 2 p.m.
The coffin will not be opened at the church, but friends may view the remains at residence.
