Hearn. Mr. Bailey was the only member of the Democratic party elected during that campaign. He had been a faithful member of the Christian Church for years.
He was genial and kind-hearted and was greatly beloved by all who knew him intimately. He is survived by his widow and seven children - Eddie, Wade, Walter, Wirt, Howe and Mrs. Elizabeth Roseman, all of this county. He also leaves one brother and one sister, Granville Bailey of Graham and Mr. J. Russell Calfee of this city. He was seventy-nine years of age.
