IN MEMORY OF L.L. BAILEY

L.L. Bailey was born October 24, 1853, and died March 27, 1937. He was converted and joined the Methodist church early in manhood. He lived a faithful Christian life until death. He was sick only about four weeks; he bore his suffering with patience, never murmuring. He always had a kind word for everyone he met. His friends were numbered by his acquaintances. He will be missed in the church, the home and by his neighbors, but our loss is Heaven's gain.

He is survived by the widow Mrs. L.L. Bailey and eight children:

W.J. Bailey of Muscadine
T.M. Bailey of Jacksonville
R.L. Bailey of Fruithurst
G.W. Bailey of Muscadine
Mrs. W.N. Bowman of Altoona
Mrs. Ollie Biggers of Muscadine
Mrs. Millage Chandler of Muscadine
Mrs. Lizzie Kilgore of Steele

Funeral services were held at Muscadine Camp Ground on Monday, Rev. O.C. Morton officiating.

Interment was in the church cemetery.

The flower girls were three granddaughters and great granddaughters; Eula Chandler, Pauline Godwin and Beulah Godwin.
