SAMUEL S. BAILEY
S. S. Bailey was born June 25, 1811, in Rutherford county,
North Carolina.  His parents were members of position and
influence in the Baptist church, to which they belonged...
When a youth he was placed in the office of Dr. Reed, to
study medicine.  Here, while attending at the same time to
the drug store, he applied himself so untiringly as to cause
one of the professors, at his final examination, to remark
that "he had examined many students, but had never heard
such answers as had been rendered by that beardless boy."
He obtained his diploma, and at once entered on a practice
covering many miles in extent. When twenty-four years of age
he formed a most happy marriage union with Miss Julia
Thomson; and,  profoundly impressed with the importance of
education, has given special attention to the mental culture
of his children. He has lived, at different times, in
Habersham, Whitfield, Cobb, and Walker counties, and
everywhere has carried his indomitable resolution and
perseverance into all department of business engaging his
attention...
