Around the time of Elisha' s death in 1851, the family relocated to Leroy Twp., Calhoun County. Samuel married Helen Barber around 1849, and upon her death wed her sister, Sarah Margaret Barber. He engaged in farming and lumbering, as did his father. About 1860 he moved his family to Concord, Minnesota, where in 1862 he was baptized into the Reorganized Church of the Latter Day Saints, being ordained an Elder within the same year. He returned to Michigan and continued activity in the Church, usually attending the two general annual Church Conferences as well as the District Conferences at a settlement known as "The Colony" about a mile and a half southwest of the present day city of Lamoni, Iowa. This area was under consideration by Church President Joseph Smith III as a possible location for the Church headquarters. Samuel was pleased with the prospects and bought a farm near the Colony, continued with his Church work, and in 1879 was instrumental in having a railroad routed farther south to serve the settlement. He sold his farm and became a partner in a hardware store in Lamoni, where he served on the first town council and took an active role in the material development of the town and in addressing its governmental, educational and social needs. He helped promote the establishment of Graceland College, and one of his proudest moments came when he was asked to offer a prayer at the opening of the College in 1901. Following the death of his second wife in 1867, he married Sarah Jane Corless. He was the father of 12 children. By his first wife he had: - Elvira Bailey (1852 - 1953) By his second wife he had, in addition to the daughters shown below under "Family Links,": - Earl Douglas Bailey (1860 - 1937) By his third wife he had, in addition to the daughters and son shown below under "Family Links,": - Blanche C.
