General Notes: Husband - Ellis B. Bailey

---

He was reared in Fayette County, Pennsylvania, attended Madison College and had entered the senior year, when he left school and commenced farming and stock-growing. He made his own way in the world, and was among the wealthiest men of Greene County, owning over 1,000 acres of well improved land. He was a man possessed of more than ordinary energy, but his business life was not, however, all sunshine. He lost $23,000 by the failure of the Exchange Bank of Waynesburg, and $2,000 by the destruction of his wool in a big fire at Boston. But every reverse in business seemed only to make him more determined, and to add new strength to his ambition. He devoted his time to farming, stock-dealing and buying land, and he dealt considerably in wool. He was never given much to speculating; but gave his business close attention and careful oversight, and succeeded in accumulating a handsome fortune.
In politics Mr. Bailey was a Whig and a Republican. He served nine years as school director in Cumberland Township. All the family were members of the Presbyterian Church, in which Mr. Bailey was an elder and superintendent of the Sabbath-school.
