Samuel Martin Bailey, for many years a well-known citizen of Athens residing on the Decatur road, died last Saturday at St. Vincent Hospital, Birmingham, where he had undergone an operation a few days previously.
Mr. Bailey's body was brought to Athens and after funeral services conducted by Bro. M. A. Creel at the home at 4 o'clock Sunday afternoon was interred in the City Cemetery, McConnell directing.

Bailey Jr., of Birmingham; two daughters, Mrs. Grady Leopard of Athens and Mrs. Jerome Lindsay Jr., of Birmingham; six grandchildren, one great-grandchild; three brothers, Thomas Charles Bailey and Jim Bailey; and one sister, Mrs. Mollie Johnson of Tennessee, all of whom have the tenderest sympathy of a wide circle of friends.
