James Edgar Bailey died at his home in Charlotte last Friday morning, aged 49 years. He was married first to Miss Mamie Bass, daughter of the late Andrew Bass, of Lanes Creek township. His second marriage was to Miss Fannie Fortune, of Shelby, who survives him, with one son and three daughters. His mother, one brother and three sisters also survive him. Deceased was a member of the Methodist church at Marsvhille, from which funeral services were conducted Saturday by Rev. J. J. Edwards, of Marshville and Dr. Orr, of Charlotte, and the body was interred in Marshville cemetery. Mr. Bailey was a son of the late J. C. Bailey and was born at their former home in Gilboa community. The family moved to Marshville in the early nineties. Edgar in youth was a student in the Gilboa school when it became distinguished as one of the pioneer high schools of the county under the principalship of the late John C. Marsh. As a companion student with him the writer can bear testimony that Edgar always played fair games at school, as he later played the games fairly in his business life. Mr. John Belk, with whom he was last associated at Marshville, pays him the highest tribute as an agreeable partner who was rigidly honest in every detail of his business transactions.
