The Newtown Register, Tuesday, April 18, 1905, page 3
Gustavus Baylies, Sr., of Elmhurst, died at his home on Clermont avenue last Friday night in the eighty-fourth years of his age. Mr. Baylies at the time of his death was the oldest native born resident of the town of Newtown. His ancestors were English Quakers, who came to this country in 1737. His great-grandfather, Nicholas, settled in Uxbridge, Mass., where his father, Gustavus, was born in the family homestead. The latter removed to Newtown in 1805, where in 1815 he married Catherine, the daughter of Col. Barnadus Bloom. He was a very eminent and skillful physician and is still remembered by some of the older residents of the town. He resided in the home owned by Dr. Frank Booth, on Broadway, which was recently torn down. It was there that the deceased was born in 1822. Mr. Baylies married Malvenia Loyd of Brooklyn, by whom he had an only child, Gustavus, who survives him. His second wife was Henrietta C. Foote of Elmhurst, who died several years ago. Mr. Baylies carried on a real estate and insurance business in Manhattan. Late in life he studied law and was admitted to the Bar. About seven years ago he retired from active business. He was greatly respected for his strict business integrity and honorable life.
The funeral services were held Monday afternoon at his late home and were conducted by the Rev. Edward M. McGuffey, rector of St. James' Church of Elmhurst. The interment was made in the family plot in Mt. Olivet Cemetery.
