Bailey Loses Her Life in the Platte River on Monday Afternoon This whole community was shocked Monday afternoon by a report that seven people had been carried off the highway into the Platte this side of the Diagonal Road bridge, out east about four miles. It was quickly known that all were accounted for except Mrs. Emma Bailey, wife of Chas. A. Bailey, whose home was just a little west of the river. Two women and a boy sat in a tree a hundred yards from the place where spilled. A boat was taken out from Clearfield to take them away. They managed to wade out. Mrs. Bailey's body was not recovered until about 11 that night, nine hours later. Clearfield Enterprise (Clearfield, Iowa), Thursday, June 19, 1941 Emma Clayton, daughter of Jesse and Jennie Clayton, was born on a farm near Clearfield, Iowa, on March 25, 1880. She grew to womanhood in and near Clearfield and on November 28, 1900 she was united in marriage with Charles A. Bailey of Diagonal, Iowa. They established their home on the old Bailey homestead near Platte River where they resided until her accidental death June 9, 1941. To them were born four children, Opal Stutesman of Diagonal, Iowa, Merrill Bailey of Clearfield, Ross Bailey of Thayer and Lee Bailey of Clearfield. She was the eldest of thirteen children, two of whom, together with her parents, preceded her in death. She leaves to mourn her passing besides the devoted husband and children, four brothers and six sisters: Elmer Clayton of Edgeley, North Dak.; Charley Clayton of Clearfield, Iowa; Arthur Clayton of Diagonal, Iowa; John Clayton of Akron, Ohio; Bertie Pointer of Detroit, Michigan; Ethel Porter of Des Moines, Iowa; Marie Reed of Osceola, Iowa; Jessie Williams and Nellie Lawhead of Leon, Iowa; Myrtle Palmer of Clearfield, Iowa. Also eight grandchildren and one great grandson, many other relatives and a host of friends. On November 29, 1925 she united with the Methodist Church of Clearfield, Iowa, of which she remained a consistent member until her death, being interested in all church activities, especially the Missionary Society. She was also interested in many community and civic affairs and clubs. A good wife, mother, friend and neighbor has gone from among us. She will be missed by many and her place can never be filled, but she has justly earned the reward of heaven and we are assured that she will receive the commendation of "Well done good and faithful servant, enter now into the joy of the Lord." I know not heaven's geography, Not a mansion or a street; But heaven's any where I'm sure, The soul and God may meet. Funeral services were held at 3:30 on Thursday, the 12th, in Clearfield Methodist church, the pastor, Rev. McKenzie officiating. There was a congregation that much exceeded the seating capacity of the church. Floral offerings were very beautiful and amazing quantity and variety. The singing was by a men's quartet. Interment followed in Clearfield Cemetery. Contributor: Julia Johnson (47176433)
