Nancy was a midwife and worked closely with Doc Tyler. She delivered all of Viola Wingerter's children and when Cassie was around five they went to see Viola and she was in bed and Cassie said "what's wrong" and Grandma said she has the flu and a little later there was a baby in the house. After that every time Viola had the flu Cassie would start looking around for another new baby. The following story was written by Ramona Wingerter Froehner; My great grandmother Nancy O'Brien Bailes Beirman was quite a remarkable woman. She was born with a "hare lip" but it certainly didn't prevent her from marring and raising a family and leading a full and most productive life. She was an independent, self confident woman who was not afraid to tackle anything. Besides being a good housekeeper, she tended a large garden, preserving food, made wine, sewed most of the clothes for the family. Not a scrap of material was wasted. It was used in making patchwork or "crazy" quilts, or in mending. Nancy O'Brien also was a midwife, who either delivered or assisted in delivering most of the neighborhood babies, including myself and all my brothers. The neighbors frequently called her to help when their was illness in the family and they didn't know what to do. When there was a death, she was called to prepare the body for the "showing" at the home. She would have been a great nurse. Nancy played the organ and her husband Moses played the fiddle. Neither of them had any lessons but they did very well, and often played at the Saturday night dances at the Beer Gardens. She was married and had her children when Dr. Tyler told her of the good work the doctors at Iowa City were doing in surgically repairing "hare lips". The story goes that Dr. Tyler went to Iowa City to observe the operation, then did the surgery on Nancy. Later he also did a hysterectomy on her at her home on the kitchen table. Nancy's husband Moses Bailes worked in the lumber business. He had a good job operating a specialized machine. As the lumber in the area was cut down, Moses had to travel father from home to work. However, Nancy would not move from Muscatine and her family probably resulted in their divorce. After that, Moses made his home in Minnesota. Moses had a sister living in Muscatine by the name of Jenny Ruckles. My mother says her Aunt Dolly was the picture of Jenny. Nancy later married Billy Beirman. They farmed for awhile, but gave up on it after a few years, and moved back to Muscatine buying a house on Gilbert street a half block away from her parents. She bought a new Ford Sedan for $500. It was her pride and joy. Driving was the one activity she was not completely confident about though, and for longer trips she always had her brother-in-law, Freddy Bierman drive for her. In her later years Nancy suffered a great deal with asthma and had a difficult time breathing, often waking at night with severe coughing spells. She had to slow down after that. They had the following children William H. Bailes Lloyd Bailes Edward W. Bailes Carrie Bailes Dollie Josephine Bailes Earnest W. Bailes
