Middle Ga. Argus – Week of June 22, 1882
Thomas Bailey

At his home in this county, on Monday morning last, Mr. Thomas Bailey; aged 73 
years.

The deceased was for many years a citizen of our county, and leaves a large 
circle of friends to mourn his loss.  He has been a constant sufferer for over 
12 months and confined to his bed for 9 months when welcome death relieved him 
of his long suffering.  He expressed a perfect resignation to the will of God, 
and an abiding faith in the promise of eternal rest; Ah happy thought! Having 
filled all the relations of life with true fidelity, retaining the confidence 
of all his neighbors, and having borne the affliction allotted to mortality, 
the immortal spark took its flight to the land beyond the sky, in peach with 
God and all mankind.

In the beautiful grove dedicated as the family burial ground, his mortal 
remains was consigned to the tomb, there to sleep the sleep of the blessed, and 
await the coming of the bereaved ones and the day of resurrection.
