Editors Beacon.-Kindly permit the use of
your columns for the purpose of informing
the older citizens OF ST. Mary's county,
through the medium of the BEACON, that
the grim reaper has selected q victim form
erly fist Mary's county. This time it is
ZACHARY L. BAILEY, who was born in 81.
Mary's county in 1850, lived there with
his parents and family until 1867, when he
came to McKeesport, where he bought
property and engaged in mercantile pur-
suits until two years ago. He then went
into the furniture business on 9Th avenue,
taking his brother, G. 3. Bailey, into part
nership with him. His health failing one
year ago, they sold out the business, and
with his brother embarked in the underta-
king business on Market street. They
pushed themselves to the front and are now
among the leading men in that business in
the city. The deceased, by his universal
courtesy, honesty and fair dealing, won Tor
himself and the firm, of which he was the
head, the esteem and confidence of the en-
tire community. He was conscientious
man and Christian, devoted brother
and loving husband. He was married
in 1876 to Miss Jennie Barnes, of Balti-
more, by whom he has four children, the
Oldest of which is twelve years old and the
youngest three. Two years ago Mrs. Bal
ley died, and the little children are now
doubly orphaned. The disposition of the
little ones is undecided. During the last
several months of deceased's illness he was
carefully nursed by his sister, Mrs. Jane A.
Smith, who, at present, with her brother,
@. B., has charge of the children. Mr..
Bailey was a member of st. Peters Roman
Catholic Church, a member of ST. Josepa'e
Benefcient Society and of the Catholic
Mutual Benefit Association. The latter
organization pays $4,000 on the death of a
| member.
The undertaking business win be con-
tinued at the old stand by his surviving
partner, G. b. Bailey, whose uniform kind
ness and courtesy will make him popular
with the people as the worthy successor of
his highly esteemed brother, now deceased.
