Description
The death of Mrs. Mollie Bailey wife of Samuel Bailey occurred at her home one mile east of Mecca, Sunday morning March 26th, 1911.
She was born in Platte County, Missouri, and at that time she was a slave, belonging to the Elingtons (Ellingtons), after which she was sold to the Wades of Clay County, and remained there until she was free. Not having a mother to care for her, she was then taken by her grandmother to raise.
In 1870 she was married to Samuel Bailey and to this union 4 children were born. Three who survive her are: Rinda, Hugh and Joseph. She was a member of the A. M. E. Church at Plattsburg, Missouri, and has lived a faithful and consistent Christian or about 30 years. She was always ready to help in time of trouble, forgiving and forgetting unkind and unpleasant things.
Mrs. Baily was a devoted wife and mother to her family. Her memory will always be remembered and her love will ever be like a blessed prayer most beautiful and touching. Her funeral was conducted at the home after which her body was laid to rest in Mt. Zion Cemetery.
Truly a good Christian woman has gone to her merited reward. And may her memory always be a beautiful and blessed influence to all who know her. A NieceDate(s) of Creation
