Paschal Bailey Obituary

The following is an excerpt from "The Memoirs of Lenawee County, Michigan"

[Mr Bailey] ..always followed the agricultural life and his farm was
acquired direst from the government, his title deeds having been signed
by President Andrew Jackson. This tract of virgin land was converted
into a fine farm and brought to a high state of cultivation, and here
where he labored and fought the wilderness he passed away in 1877, his
wife,...having died June 22, 1855. In politics [he] was an ardent
Democrat and held several offices, including Justice of the Peace. Both
were members of the Episcopal Methodist Church. They had been married in
the state of New York and four children were born to them, as follows:
Caroline, widow of George Hadley, a farmer of Manistee County, this
state; Nathan A; Elnora, who became the wife of Robert Sloan, now
deceased, and lives in Adrian Township; and Herman C., who is a farmer
of Franklin Township.
