                              Obituary

Andrew Bailey was born at Middlesex, Connecticut, September 19, 1811, and
died in Osage, Iowa, December 21, 1894, age 83 years, 3 months and 3 days.

In 1832 he came as far west as Chicago, which at that time was at the
extreme frontier.  In 1839 he was married at Elgin, Illinois, to Miss
Mary Butler.  To them nine children were born, of whom three sons and
three daughters are still living.  In 1853, they moved to Decorah, Iowa,
where Mrs. Bailey died three years later.

In 1867 Mr. Bailey was married to Anna Butler who survives him.  In 1876
they came to Osage where they have since resided.  Mr. Bailey united
with the M. E. church in early life, but in recent years did not attend
because of deafness.  He was an intelligent man, who read much and
remembered much that he read. The funeral services were held at the
M. E. church Sunday afternoon conducted by the pastor, Rev. E. J.
Lockwood.
