Dr. B. L. Bailey Succumbs In Monroe Hospital

Dr. B. L. Bailey, born on a small farm some six miles south of Winnfield in
1872, died in a Monroe hospital August 6, 1952, of an acute heart attack.  He
had been in ill health for a number of years, having undergone a major
operation some three years ago in a New Orleans hospital.  He never fully
recovered.

Dr. Bailey grew up on a small farm, attending such schools as the country
afforded.  He graduated from the Memphis Medical College in 1897 and shortly
thereafter married a step-daughter of J. W. Hanchey.  He practiced his
profession in Winnfield for a short time, moving to Atlanta, and from there to
Effie, Avoyelles Parish.  He resided there several years.  His next location
was at Epps, West Carroll Parish.  From there he moved to Star City, Ark.,
where he made his home until the time of his death.

To the union were born five children, three boys and two girls.  The boys and
one of the daughters reside in Monroe and vicinity, one daughter living in
Star City, Ark.  His wife preceded him some four years ago in death.

Dr. Bailey leaves two brothers, B. W. Bailey of Winnfield and B. Bailey of St.
Maurice; and one sister, Mrs. Tom Long, Winnfield.
