How Robert Glenn Bailey Met His Death.

  For the following particulars of the death of Robert Glenn Bailey, 
who was buried in Fairview cemetery, this city, on Monday last, we are 
indebted to the Bellefonte Daily News of Saturday, January 5:
  "A sad death indeed was that which came to Robert Glenn Bailey, a 
highly esteemed citizen of Pine Grove Mills, Centre county, on Friday, 
the 40th anniversary of his birth.  For about a year past he has been 
demented and on Thursday morning he wandered away from home, and when 
found Friday on Tussey mountain near Laurel Run was frozen stiff.  His 
illness dated back about three years ago, when he received a blow on 
the head from a piece of iron while at work in the Pennsylvania shops 
at Altoona.  The blow affected his mind but after treatment in a 
hospital he was discharged as cured.  About a year ago the complaint 
came back to him again and he was compelled to quit his work at Altoona 
and go to his father's home at Pine Grove Mills, in the hope that rest 
and quiet would bring him around all right."
