Decatur County Journal
February l8, l9l5

GEORGE CHARLES BAILEY, son of GEORGE and
SUSIE BAILEY, was born at
Custer, Mason County, Michigan, April l0,
l87l, and departed this life
near Pleasanton, Iowa, February l2, l9l5, at
the age of 43 years, l0
months and 2 days.

At the age of nine years he came to Decatur
County, Iowa, with his
parents and excepting twelve years spent in
Oklahoma, the greater part
of his life has been spent here. He was the
fourth of eight children,
four brothers, two sisters, with father and
mother having preceded him
to the great beyond. He was baptized into
the Reorganized Church of
Jesus Christ of L.D.S. at Lamoni, Iowa,
October 26, l907, and was
identified with that branch until transferred
by letter to the
Pleasanton branch, January l8, l9l4. He
remained staunch in the faith
until the passing away of this life. For the
past two years he had been
a great sufferer from chronic heart trouble,
but for the past four
months his condition had been critical. All
was done that could be to
alleviate his suffering but to no avail.
Only an hour before his demise
he expressed to a sister his desire to go to
rest that night. Thus was
he willing to put aside the things of this
life that he might enjoy the
blessings that await those who die in the
faith.

On July l, l9ll, he was united in marriage to
GOLDIE B. VANDEL, and to
this union two children were born, HERBERT
BURDETT and LOTUS R.E., the
latter an infant of four months. The wife,
two children, a brother,
E.H. BAILEY, of this place, and a half
sister, CARRIE E. ADAIR, of
Manzanola, Colorado, are left to mourn the
loss of one who was nearest
and dearest to them. Thus do we feel to
express our sympathy to the
sorrowing wife and babes, and the lone
brother whose sad duty it has
been to see the last of his father's
household pass beyond the silent
portals. Funeral at Pleasanton in Latter Day
Saints Church, sermon by
M.M. Turpen.
