Monument for General BayIey.
The General Jacob Bayley Monument
association was organized at Wells River
few days ago for the very commenda-
bic purpose of securing funds for the pur-
nose of erecting a suitable monument to
tbe memory of General Jacob Bavlev,
one of Newbury's earliest settlers, whose
remains lie in the Ok Bow cemetery in
that town. The name OF Gen. Bavlev is
closely linked with the early history OF
Eastern Vermont, and it is right that the
grave of this neglected patriot of the
revolution" as historian Wells calls him,
should have monument worthy of the
man.
The officers of the association are:
President, Hon. John Bailey, Boston;
vice president, Edwin A. Bayley, Boston;
secretary and treasurer, Nelson Bailey,
Wells River. The first task of the asso-
citation is to secure the addresses of as
many OF Gen. Bayley's descendants as is
possible, that they may be urged to CO.
operate in the matter.
