Published in The State Newspaper on July 10, 2001 ================================================================= From the SCE&G "Live Wires" about 1975: Johnny Bailey of the Transportation Department can be found at "Little House Antiques" in Irmo after he retires this month. "My Sons, Donald, runs an antique shop in the house that belonged to my wife's father and mother, John Wesley & Mary Lillie Bauknight Younginer, explained Bailey. "I'll be in and out around there after I retire." Bailey and his wife, the former Miss Olive Mae Younginer, built a house not too far behind the antique shop, so Bailey should be able to do his vegetable gardening and little bits of "yard work" while watching for customers at the shop. "I'll spend most of my time doing whatever my wife wants me to do. She's an antique fanatic and keeps me pretty busy. I like to fish a little, but other than that, I don't have any plans except to take each day one at a time and do what I want to if I can," said Bailey. A native of Lawrence County, Tennessee, Bailey said his family moved to Irmo when his father, Richard Franklin Bailey, came to work for W. S. Barstow, who was clearing the land for Lake Murray. By the time Bailey graduated from Irmo High School, his father owned a sawmill and Bailey worked for him before coming to work (about 1937) with the South Carolina Electric and Gas Company (SCE&G). Bailey will retire with 38 years as a Company Bus Driver and dual rate supervisor. Recalling his earlier days with the Company, he said he remembers working seven days a week, eight or nine hours a day. Bailey participated in the invasion of Normandy while in the US Navy from February, 1944 until December, 1945. He was also aboard the battleship USS Nevada during the invasions of Iwo Jima and Okinawa. NOTE: Johnny was a Mason and Worshipful Master
