W. C. Bailey was the 4th of 15 children born to Green Berry W. Bailey and Clarissa Elizabeth Harlow Kyser. All other siblings lived to be adults and most had large families. It is not known the cause of this child's death. This was a sad occasion for his parents, especially for his mother. In 1863, she buried her oldest son, James, who was killed during the Civil War at the Battle of Chancellorsville in Virginia, and in 1871 her 52-year-old husband died from pneumonia just as they were packing their wagon to move to Texas. She and most of her children had to make the move without him as they had already purchased land in Texas. To read more about the children born to this family, see the bios for his parents on their memorial page.
