CHARLES BAILEY, son of the Rev. Luther and Anne (Peck) Bailey, was born Sept. 
2, 1821, in East Medway. He graduated in 1841 from Brown University, Rhode 
Island. He studied medicine and surgery with Dr. Nathaniel Miller, and was, 
for a time, the partner of Dr. John Warren, of Boston. He attended his first 
course of lectures at Mason Street College, Boston, and subsequently had 
charge of Dr. Miller's hospital for two years, He acquired additional 
experience and practice at the Chelsea United States Marine Hospital, and 
finished his medical education with Dr. Henry H. Child, President of the 
Berkshire Medical College, Pittsfield, Mass., where he graduated in November, 
1843, with the highest honors in a school of 175, and was chosen unanimously 
to deliver the valedictory address. He commenced practice in Springfield, 
Mass., the same year, in company with Dr. J. G. Holland, familiarly known 
as "Timothy Titcomb." He removed in four years to Holyoke, remaining there two 
and a half years. Then, on account of failing health, he was obliged to 
journey South. When his health was materially benefited he returned to 
Philadelphia, taking a course of lectures at the Filbert Street Homoeopathic 
College, where he obtained a thorough understanding of homoeopathy. He then 
returned to Pittsfield in December, 1849, and commenced the practice which he 
still continues. In May, 1846, he was married to Miss Caroline M. Goodrich, 
daughter of the late Levi Goodrich, of Webster, Mass. He had two sons, one of 
whom died while young, in Holyoke, the other is Dr. Edward L. Bailey, who is 
associated with his father in the practice of medicine. Dr. Bailey, when a 
boy, had a narrow escape from death by the premature discharge of a cannon 
with which he and a companion were firing a salute.
