Death of Laura Bailey.
In the death of Miss Laura Bailey
which occurred at Cambridge, Mass,
Apr. Is from peritonitis, Peacham has
lost one most highly respected. She
went to Massachusetts, last fall to
stay with her sister, Miss Sara Bailey
and has been very poorly all winter,
having been some of the time in the
age and was born in Peacham, and
the greater part of her life has been
passed here. She was a very earnest
worker in all church and missionary
work, was secretary of the county w.
c. T. u. at the time of her death and
was also secretary of the Ver-Cal-Pe
club, having held that office ever since
the club was formed. She was treas
urer of the Home Missionary society
for a number of years, and president
of the Peacham w. c. 7. u. She was
also the Peacham correspondent for
The CaIedonian a number of years,
so it will be seen that a good share of
her time was devoted to church and
temperance work. In her death and
that of Mrs. Lucy E. Choate which
occurred in October two most earnest
workers in these causes are removed
leaving vacancies hard to fill. She
leaves a sister, Miss Sara Bailey, a
teacher in Cambridge, Mass. The re-
mains were brought here Monday
night accompanied by her sister, Miss
Sara Bailey and Ida Smith and the
funeral which was largely attended,
was held Tuesday at 2 p. m, at the
Congregational church, where Miss
Bailey had been a member since 1869.

the Ver-Cal-Pe club gave carnations.
There were also other beautiful flow
ers. The burial was at Peacham
cemetery.
