J. W. BAILEY DEAD
Pioneer Business Man Called To His Reward
John W. Bailey died at his home in Hampton last Monday morning, after an extended illness. He was born at Monroe, Wisconsin, on December 16th, 1846, and was seventy-one years of age at the time of his death. He had been in failing health for several months, and during the past several months was an invalid, requiring constant care.
Mr. Bailey grew to manhood in the community in which he was born, and in early life learned the harness trade, at which he worked until he joined the Union forces in the civil war. He served his country well, and was engaged in many of the real battles of the war, and was under Sherman in that great march to the sea. At the close of the war he returned to Monroe, and was married at that place to Miss Sarah Clayton, who died in Hampton in 1904.
He became a resident of Hampton in the year 1875 and during most of the years of his residence he was engaged in the harness business, but for a few years he was engaged in the furniture and undertaking business. He was always active in the affairs of the city and country, and took a deep interest in the things that meant the advancement of Hampton and Franklin county. He was a member of the Methodist church, the G.A.R Post, and several of the Masonic lodges, and in these he took a very active interest, always being present at the meetings and willing and anxious to do his full share of the necessary work to promote their welfare.
Mr. Bailey was married the second time, on June 9th, 1906, to Miss Bertha Belle Brown, of Marshalltown, and to this union one son, John Wesley Bailey, was born, and he with the wife and mother, are left to survive. Mr. Bailey is also survived by one brother, W.W. Bailey, of Flandreau, South Dakota, and by one sister, Mrs. Mahala Wagner, of Grand Junction, Colorado.
Funeral services were held yesterday afternoon at the Methodist church, conducted by Rev. F.C. Witzigman, after which the remains were laid to rest in the Hampton Cemetery.
