Ionia Daily Sentinel, 5 Jan 1918

Mary Elizabeth Bailey, daughter of Harvey Newell Bailey and Eunice Wright
Bailey, was born May 18, 1854, at Brewster, New York.  At the age of six years
she came with her parents to Howell, Livingston county, Mich., where she lived
until about a year before she was married to Charles Willis Doty of Berlin who
died Nov. 16, 1908, terminating their married life of thirty-five years.  When a
young woman she was converted and joined the Methodist Episcopal church.  Later
in life it was impossible for her to identify herself with church but she lived
a good life.  She was the mother of fourteen children, six sons and eight
daughters, thirteen of whom survive her.  One Julia Amanda, died Nov. 12, 1896,
at the age of nearly twenty years.  We mourn the loss of a true, loving mother
whose life has been a living, daily sacrifice for us, her children.  The funeral
was held Wednesday at one o’clock at her home in Berlin township.  Rev. R.V.
Birdsall officiated.
