SAMUEL BAILEY

  Samuel Bailey, a brother of Mrs. S. I. Forsht, sr., of Juniata, died on 
Sunday in a Chicago hospital, after two years battle with pulmonary 
tuberculosis.  He is survived by his widow, Mrs. Martha Bailey and three

born on July 4, 1864, and grew to manhood in the community now known as East 
Altoona.  He was a son of Samuel and Elizabeth Bailey both deceased, and his

stable boss.  He leaves two brothers and two sisters, Mrs. S. I. Forsht, sr.,

Miss Ida Bailey, of Washington, D.C.  The remains of the deceased are en route 
east and will be brought to the home of the sister in Juniata for funeral 
service.  Definite arrangements will be announced later.
