C Bailey Dead
Cyrenius Bailey was born in Richmondville, Schoharie county, New York, June 21, 1823. He lived with his parents here till he was fourteen years old, helping in the mill and on their small stony farm. His father was a miller having built his own mill on one of the running streams. In 1840 his parents moved to the more fertile soil and picturesque scenery of Saratogo county, NT. Here he was married to Miss Jane A. Morey in 1853 and here their first child was born.
He moved to DeKalb county, Ill., in 1856 and lived there till 1891, a period of 35 years. Illinois at that time was filling up with settlers from the eastern states. He settled on his farm ten miles from a railroad station, but there was an inland post office, Shabbona Grove, three miles distant, named for an Indian chief who had befriended the early settlers. Mr. Bailey turned the first furrows on his Illinois farm and planted a fine orchard and other trees. He loved horticulture and agriculture and raised the trees that he plants in his Iowa orchard.
His was a benevolent disposition, ever ready to give substantial assistance to worthy enterprises. He was an efficient township officer for many years. He was a consistent member of the Baptist church of Shabbona and superintendent of the Sabbath school of a long period.
Of his children living are Mrs. Anna Flinders and Asa C. Bailey of Sutherland, Iowa. Mrs. Emma Hinds died in Nebraska in 1882, her daughters, Maud and Jennie, came to their grandparents eight years ago.
Jennie Bailey, their youngest daughter, who died in 1884, left them alone in the old home and the infirmities of age warned the parents that life was drawing to a close. So the parental home was sold and they moved to Sutherland in 1891. He leaves a wife and three sisters, the latter living in Los Angles, California.
Mr. Bailey has been slowly failing for the past eight years and it has been necessary for the past four years to have an attendant with him at all the time.
His last moments were peaceful, he died without struggle, February 28, 1905. In his family he was a tender husband and an indulgent father whose discipline was firm but kind.
The funeral was held at the home Thursday at ten o'clock, attended by relatives only and Rev. Burns officiated. The burial took place in Waterman cemetery.
