IN HONOR OF: IN MEMORY OF: ROBERT J. BAILEY - 1870 - 1936 

  Obituary for Robert J. Bailey: "Robert J. Bailey died in January 1936 at age 
66 from pneumonia following an operation.  L.F. Callaham led the funeral.  He 
was survived by his wife, Annie Laurie Parsons Bailey, and five children: Ruth 
B. Rives, Ray B. Hargrave, Hilda B. Jones, Kathleen B. Revelle, and Ralph J. 
Bailey.  The pallbearers were J.H. Presson, F.F. Faison, H.L. Harris, J.C. 
Whitmore, Joshua W. Rogers, and R.A. Savedge." 

  Robert was the son of Joseph and Darthula Bailey and the brother of Charles 
Rufus Bailey and Ansebelia Bailey Goodrich.  He farmed all his life on the 
farm that we know today as Ralph Bailey's farm.  He married Annie Laurie 
Parsons in 1892.  She died in 1953 at Obici Hospital at the age of 82.  Her 
five children and her sister, Mrs. Hutie Neblett, and a brother, James L. 
Parsons, survived her. 

  The round stained glass window in the pulpit was given in their memory by 
their son, Ralph Bailey, and his wife, Martha. 

  Thanks to Ralph's son, Bob, for much of this information, and to his cousin, 
Kay Revelle Miles, for the pictures of their grandparents.
