WILLIAM T. BAILEY.

  William T. Bailey, one of Grazierville's best known citizens, passed away 
at his home at 12:05 o'clock yesterday morning, death being due to heart 
trouble.  Mr. Bailey suffered a stroke of paralysis last July and had been 
confined to his bed most of the time since.
  William Thomas Bailey was born in this vicinity February 18, 1846, and 
practically all his life has been spent hereabouts.  When the Civil war broke 
out he enlisted in the Twenty-second Pennsylvania cavalry and immediately 
upon his discharge from that organization he re-enlisted in the One Hundred 
and Tenth infantry, where he served until the end of the conflict.  At the 
conclusion of the war he entered the service of the Pennsylvania Railroad 
company, which he faithfully served for forty-seven years, holding the 
position of conductor on the Middle division at the time of his retirement 
seven years ago.
  Surviving to mourn his sudden death is the wife and the following sons and 
daughters: Cecil A., of Baltimore; J. Ermine, of Grazierville; Mrs. John 
Fuoss, of Bellwood; Chas. E., William P., and Misses Vanette and Gladys, at 
home.  He is also survived by one sister, Mrs. Maria Harvey, of Bucyrus, O.
  Mr. Bailey was a member of the Order of Railway Conductors and the Grand 
Army of the Republic.  He was a devoted member of the Grazierville Methodist 
church and always an active worker in its welfare.
  Funeral services will be held at the late home on Sunday afternoon at 2:30 
o'clock, conducted by Rev. G. P. Sarvis, of Bellwood, assisted by Rev. Earl 
Bassler, of Birmingham.
