Oregon Pioneer of 1845.
"Garibadli [Tillamook County, Oregon] was named by Daniel Dodge Bayley, who came to Tillamook in the 1860's. It was named for Giuseppi Garibaldi, who was born in Italy in 1807 and died in 1882. Bayley was an admirer of the varied life of Garibaldi. Depending on sources referenced, the town was incorporated in 1881 and/or 1946."

"In Memoriam.
DANIEL DODGE BAYLEY was born at Concord, New Hampshire, Jan. 8th, 1801, and died at Tillamook, March 29, 1893. At an early age he began life on his own account, and for three quarters of a century in all parts of the Union spent an active and successful life.
During the early days of Ohio he was a pioneer of that young state and at one time was a personal friend of Wm. Henry Harrison for whom he afterwards voted for President.
In 1844 he was one of the intrepid hand who braved the unknown dangers of the plains and mountains in their ox-wagon journey to Oregon, settling in the Chehalem valley, Yamhill county, in 1845.
When the country became too thickly settled for his adventurous spirit he crossed the coast range and settled on Tillamook bay where now is Garibaldi, and where the last 30 years of his life were spent in peace.
By his first wife Elisabeth [sic] Munson he had two sons, Timothy and Bishop, both deceased, and five daughters, Mrs. C. E. Watts, of Lafayette; Mrs. Mianda Smith, of Portland, Mrs. Z. Large, of Forest Grove; Mrs. Iola I. Handley, of Tillamook and Mrs. Delphine Whalen, of Portland. By his second wife, Mrs. Cecilia Chance, he left two sons, Shelley M. and Grant, both of Tillamook. He is sorrowed and mourned by a host of grand-children and great grand-children, scattered widely over the State of Oregon.
Active, frugal and industrious, he was always successful in business but with no other ambition than to do good with what he had, his gifts to others always kept pace with his accumulations. His sole enjoyment of property seemed to be in giving it to some one [sic] else.
Genial, kindly, hospitable, generous almost to excess, he was an earnest seeker after the truth in all things and only intolerant of those religionists who teach a doctrine of vengeance, cruelty and hate. He once said to the writer that the only hate he harbored was hatred of humbug.
His rule of life, humanity, and his religion to do good, his name high in the list of those who love their fellow men, his life and death aptly illustrate the poetical injunction:
"So live, that when thy summons comes to join
The innummerable [sic] caravan, that moves
To that mysterious realm where each shall take
His chamber in the silent halls of death
Thou go not, like the quarry slave at night,
Scourged to his dungeon but, sustained and
Soothed.
By an unfaltering trust approach thy grave,
Like one who wraps the drapery of his couch
About him, and lies down to pleasant dreams."
And so at last, his work well done, conscious of his approaching end he welcomed the grim messenger, so full of terror to the craven heart, and sank to sleep as peacefully as an infant hushed upon his mothers breast.
‘After life's fitful fever
He sleeps well.'
