DR. WILSON GILL BAILEY was born in Paulsboro NJ on September 2, 1865, one of at least 10 children born to Joseph B. and Amanda Wheeler Bailey. His father was a carter.
Dr. Bailey served during the Spanish-American War with the New Jersey National Guard as an Assistant Surgeon with the rank of First Lieutenant. He was a member of the Camden County Medical Society, the Camden City Medical Society, the Camden City Medical and Surgical Society, the American Medical Association, the Order of Military Surgeons, and the New Jersey Medical and Surgical Society.
Dr. Bailey was married Anna May Sachse around 1893. This marriage produced two children, Hazel, born in June of 1896 and Orville, born after the 1900 census was taken. Sadly, by 1910 he was a widower. By 1914 there was a second marriage, to Sophie Katherine Gootz, which saw two daughters born, Eva and Minerva.
Dr. Bailey's life away from medicine was also quite interesting and in his own words full of adventure. A dog fancier, he helped introduce the Borzoi, then known as the Russian Wolfhound, to the United States and was in great part responsible for the breed's acceptance in this country. He was among the first to own an automobile in Camden and the first Camden resident to own an airplane, which he kept in a hanger near the White Horse Pike and Collings Avenue in West Collingswood.
Dr. Wilson Gill Bailey passed away on August 2, 1937. He was buried at Harleigh Cemetery.
Through my own research, through the 1930 census records and visiting the gravesite of Dr. Bailely, I found he was divorced from Sophia Katherine (nee Gootz) by the time the census had been taken.
Although all of Dr. Bailey's children were all acknowledged by name at the family mausoleum,"The Garden of Memories," I find that only Dr. Bailey, his first wife Anna M. (nee Schultz) and their baby, Orville H.(1900-1901) are interred there.
In the mausoleum there are 8 crypts, 4 on two walls, numbered 1 through 8. Dr. Bailey was interred in #1, and above him, in #2 Anna and baby Orville lie together. The rest of the crypts, 3 through 8, appear to be empty as there are no inscriptions on them. There is no mention of Sophia Katherine (neeGootz) Bailey at the memorial.
