Bailey, 83, Buried Friday Edgar Lewis Bailey was born July 1, 1870, the second son of Edwin Noyes Bailey and Martha Stratton Bailey, in Waupaca County, Wis. When he was eight years old he traveled with his parents to Hancock County, Iowa, in a covered wagon, the family settling at Bailey's Grove, southeast of Britt. He grew to manhood in this community, and on October 20, 1891, married Cora Mae Patrick, who preceded him in death on June 6, 1936. Two children were born to this couple, Roscoe M. Bailey, now of Mead, Nebr., and Blanche Bailey Reed, of Cherokee, Iowa. Mr. Bailey lived in Britt for many years where he was associated with his father in operating the Britt Tribune and also was employed in the post office. In 1908 he moved to a farm at Sawyer, N.

Seven months ago he became a resident of the Baptist Memorial Home at Harlan, Iowa, where his death occurred on Oct. 27, 1953, at which time he had attained the age of 83 years, 3 months and 27 days.
