    E. H. C. BAILEY, Physician and Surgeon, was born at Lewisburg, Va., December
14, 1825, and his parents were Edward B. and May C. Bailey, natives,
respectively, of Virginia and South Carolina.

    The senior Mr. Bailey was a distinguished attorney, and was several years
Judge of the Fayetteville Circuit of Virginia. He was an active politician. and
in several presidential campaigns was district elector. He died at Demopolis, at
the residence of his son, in 1874.

    Dr. Bailey was educated at Lewisburg Academy, and entered the Medical
Department of the University of Virginia, at Charlottesville, in 1846,
graduating June 20, 1848. In the same year he began the practice of his
profession at his home, and afterward moved to Kanawha County, W. Va., where he
remained until 1852; from thence to Palmyra, Mo., and continued the practice
until 1861. Early in this year, he was made Chief Surgeon of the Second Division
of the Missouri State Troops, in the service of the Confederate States, and was
afterward appointed Surgeon of the Second Regiment, First Brigade, of that State.

    In 1862, Dr. Bailey was appointed Medical Purveyor in the Department of
Alabama, Mississippi, and East Louisiana, in which position he remained until
the war closed.

    Thus do we see a young man emerging from the halls of his medical
instruction, and, by deserving and sterling qualities, winning his way rapidly
as an excellent and skillful physician and surgeon, and the crowning glory of
his career comes when his ability is thought amply sufficient to entitle him to
recognition in such distinguished manner as we have just chronicled; nor does he
prove any way lacking in the qualities which go to make up the faithful, worthy,
useful and skillful physician and surgeon. How much he did to relieve suffering
humanity will never be known to but comparatively the fewest number: but he will
be ever held in honest esteem by thousands of people throughout the South.

    He came to Demopolis in 1865, and has been in active practice ever since.

    Dr. Bailey belongs to the State and County Medical Societies, and has served
several years as president of the latter.

    He was married in 1851 to Miss Margaret, daughter of John Shrewsburg, of
Kanawha County, W. Va. Their union has been blessed with five children—John S.,
Edward B., Alexander C., Mary Corrie and Robert Augustus. The family are
communicants of the Episcopal Church, and the Doctor is a member of the Masonic
fraternity.
