Bailey Civil War Obit Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Portsmouth Times Nov. 23, 1861 "Lieutenant Colonel Bailey." We publish, to-day the resolutions adopted by the remaining members of Company G. 1st Regiment of Ohio Volunteers, commanded by Capt. Geo B. Bailey, in the three months service-His death, occurring as it did while bravely performing his duty as a soldier and officer, cast over our city a deep and heartfelt sorrow. During the period of his residence in this place, he made many warm friends, and was universally respected as a citizen and gentleman. When the Fall of Fort Sumter startled the country, and the President called for volunteers, he was the first in our State to offer a company to the Government. He received a dispatch, accepting his services on the evening of Tuesday April 16, 1861, and the next day, at 11 o'clock, A.M. his company was on it way to Columbus-the first to leave their homes in the State of Ohio. From appearances about Washington at that time, he expected to be in active and dangerous service in a few days. He commanded his company at the massacre of Vienna and the equally unfortunate battle at Bull Run. On his return, he accepted the position of Lieutenant Colonel of the 9th Virginia Regiment, stationed at Guyandotte, and immediately devoted all his energies to its welfare and success. In the attack at that place although suddenly surprised by a vastly superior force, he fought with heroic bravery. With musket in hand, he acted the part of a private soldier and sacrificed his life rather than surrender. His remains were brought to his family, living in this place, and on Wednesday last, were taken to Brown county where he formerly resided. A large number of citizens, including the Mason and Odd Fellows, together with Colonel Kinney's Regiment and the remaining members of his old company, escorted his remains to the boat and visibly testified their deep sorrow at his death, and their sympathy for his bereaved family. He was a superior officer, thoroughly versed in military tactics, and well understood, and was peculiarly adapted to the task of organizing and disciplining the volunteers. Let us long cherish his memory as a gallant soldier and valuable citizen-and as one who nobly sacrificed his life in defence, and for the honor, of his country. _________________________________________________________________________ "At least three Confederates were killed on the night of November 10 and ten others wounded. Despite later Northern reports of a "massacre," only ten Union recruits were killed, while at least ten more were wounded. One of the Federal casualties was Captain George B. Bailey, Whaley's second-in-command, who was shot in the chin and apparently drowned while attempting to swim across the Guyandotte River. Bailey had briefly attended the United States Military Academy; when he was expelled his position had been filled by his boyhood friend, Ulysses Grant. Ninety-eight Union troops and sympathizers were taken prisoner by the Confederate cavalry. They were assisted by a number of Guyandotte's Confederate supporters, who used the occasion to settle grudges against their fellow townspeople who had sided with the North.26" The Tragic Fate of Guyandotte, by Joe Geiger,Jr. Vol. 54 (1995) pp. 28-41 Further information about the battle of Guyandotte, West Virginia by Joe Geiger, Jr. Go to: http://www.wvculture.org/history/journal_wvh/wvh54-2.html Joan L.
