Aug 23--(Special)The funeral services over the remains of the late Miss Jane C. Bailey, who passed away Tuesday morning, were held at the home of her nephew, George Bailey. Rev. D. R. Hodgdon officiated. Miss Bailey, or "Aunt Jane" as she was called by her friends and neighbors, reached the ripe old age of 94 years, 3 months and 16 days. She was the daughter of Jacob and Eliza Bailey and one of six children, who have all passed away. Miss Bailey was born May 3, 1812, about 4 miles below the city of Gardiner on the bank of the Kennebec river, when the town of Pittston was but a wilderness, populated with red savages and the River road only a bridle path. As a young woman she cared for her mother until she died, who also reached the age of 94. After the death of her mother she went to live with her brother, Capt. George Baily, who died in November, 1904, leaving her alone in the world as to any near relatives. When Miss Bailey was asked who would care for her when she quietly answered, "I am not trusting in the arms of flesh, but in the unseen arms," and for this perfect trust in God which so characterized her life she was given a home with her nephew and niece, Mr. and Mrs. George Bailey, Jr, who faithfully and tenderly cared for her during her last few declining years. Both Mr. and Mrs. Bailey have well kept the text of life, "Do unto others as ye would have others do unto you," and did all in their power to make her last days cheerful, willingly supplying all her needs. All her nephews and nieces did what they could to be of help and each need a word of praise. "Aunt Jane" left a vacant chair over which hovers the tenderest memories. It tells of a life that has sacrificed for others, a life that has given to the needy and gone without herself. She was a help to those that were in trouble, a comfort to the sorrowing and in her little sphere she had one what she could as one of Christ's' disciples, well deserving the reward. "Good and faithful servant, thou has been faithful over a few things."
