George Ernest Bailey was born in Nephi, Utah on October 4, 1884. Sadly, he lived only five short years and died of pneumonia on November 26, 1889. His short obituary in the Deseret Evening News described him as "an unusually bright child, [and said] he exhibited intelligence beyond his years."

His older brother, Langley Allgood Bailey, Jr. was called to serve a three-year mission in Samoa in April of the year following young Ernest's death. A little over two years into his mission, young Langley had a vivid dream about his brother Ernest: "...last night I had a dream. I thought I was herding sheep alone in a far off country and thought that Ernest, my little bro[ther] was sitting on top of a high hill nearby watching me, and he called me, and I thought I told him in the Samoan tongue to call out with a loud voice. The sheep that I was herding seem[ed] to be in confusion. I went on top of this hill to where Ernest was, and I reached out my arms to take him, and he vanished from my sight."

It is evident that this little guy was not forgotten by the people who loved him. His brother Langley (my grandfather) did not join Ernest in death for another 52 years when he died in March, 1944. (Dale G. Bailey, 06/19/2013).
