CHARLES C. BAILEY, general farmer and owner of 128 acres of valuable land,
situated three miles north of Curwensville, Pa., in Pike township, Clearfield
county, was born on this farm, December 17, 1868, and is a son of Joseph and
Elizabeth (Boal) Bailey.
Joseph Bailey was born also in Pike township, where his parents, Daniel and
Jane Bailey, were early settlers. He attended school in this township and also
at Curwensville, after which he assisted his father on the home farm until his
own marriage. He then lived for a time on a part of Abraham Bailey's estate,
later buying the farm of 128 acres from Isaac Bailey and completing its
clearing. He gradually acquired other farms until he owned about 500 acres,
only a part of which, however, was put under cultivation. He married Elizabeth
Boal, a daughter of James Boal, of Center county, Pa., and six children were
born to them, as follows: Mary Alice, who is the wife of Vincent Spencer, of
Curwensville; Martha Jane, who is the wife of Jonathan Ogden, of Lawrence
township; James Dorsey, who married Mary Neeper, of Lawrence township; Annie
G., who married twice, first Charles Boyd and second William Vangavich; Charles
C.; and George Boyd, who died when two years of age. The father of the above
family died in October, 1901, at the age of seventy-eight years, seven months
and eleven days, having survived his wife for many years. Her death took place
in October, 1877, at the age of forty-three years. Their burial was in the
Center cemetery. Both were members of the Center Methodist Episcopal church.
Charles C. Bailey obtained his education at Curwensville, Pleasant Grove
school house and at Clearfield, after which he taught school for some time in
the same sections where he had been a pupil. Mr. Bailey remembers this season
as a very pleasant part of his life, but farming and stock raising have been of
still more importance and after his marriage he settled on his present home in
preference to any other. He made many improvements here, remodeled the
buildings and added modern comforts. In addition to his home farm he owns
40 acres in another part of Pike township, a one-half interest in another tract of 35 acres and a one-fifth interest in one of 57 acres, all these being parts of his father's estate. Mr. Bailey is a stockholder in the Farmers and Traders Bank, of Clearfield, and a stockholder in the Curwensville Rural Telephone Company.
On November 30, 1893, Mr. Bailey was married to Miss Myrtle E. Leslie, who
was born in Clarion county, Pa., September 13, 1868, a daughter of Noah and
Mary Elizabeth (Mesner) Leslie, who reside near Home Camp, in Clearfield
county. Mr. and Mrs. Bailey have had two children. Walter S., born in May,
1895, is a member of the class of 1914 in the Curwensville High School; and
Lillian Elizabeth, who was born in 1901 and died in 1902, being laid to rest by
the side of her grandparents in the Center cemetery. In politics Mr. Bailey is
a Republican. He belongs to Susquehannah Grange at Curwensville. He is one of
the representative men of this section, is widely known and enjoys the esteem
and warm friendship of his fellow citizen.
