Description

Bessie (Mitchener) Baily [1869-1906] - wife of Richard Lloyd Baily, daughter of Milton W. Mitchener and Elizabeth Evans. Caption reads, "Bessie Mitchener Baily – Wife of Richard Lloyd Baily (Daughter of Milton M. Mitchener who was Brother of Dora)." Original, no photographer listed. Mitchener Album 01, Photo 54. Based on the identified photographs and an inscription that reads, "Album presented to Lee I. Mitchener by F. M. Mitchener," we believe the Mitchener Album originally belonged to Ida Leonis "Lee" Mitchener [1857-1924], daughter of William B. Mitchener and Mary Way. The album passed to Lee's sister Harriet Eldora "Dora" (Mitchener) Baily, whose descendants have preserved it in original order.
