Sherwood News Sheet March 13,1912
Philemon Plummer Bailey
Philemon Plummer Bailey,son of Thomas and Lucetta Bailey,was born in Tipton 
Co,Indiana,June 13,1851,was married to Elizabeth Barngrover in Barton 
Co.Kansas,November 25,1877
Passed from this stage of existence,at Portlan,Oregon,March 7th,1912,leaving a 
wife,two sons,and seven daughters,besides an aged mother,five sisters and a 
host of friends to mourn his departure,
Deceased was a man of brilliance and intellect and naturally of a 
kindly ,sympathetic,and generous position
A chain of accidents of an extremely severe character,one of which deprived 
him of an eye,and was followed by a lasting illness,so affecting his brain,and 
nervous system,as to cause him to appear somewhat unreasonable and irritable 
at times during recent years,but those who knew him best,understood,and had 
for him only love and sympathy
His religious creed was as broad as was his conception of the immensity and 
perfection of the creator.
Tho henceforth absent in the body,he will continue to be in the memory of 
those who knew and loved him best,a living presence,tenderly cherished while 
life shall last
A selection from the bible follows in such small letters that I cannot 
transcribe it
