Great Crowd Attended Funeral of War
rem w. Bailey, ST.,

lCH Wa AS"4ASyt 49,
with the deceasc Of Warren w.
Bailey another of the strong and char
acteristic class Of family men who
have deeply impressed this communl-
| ty with their lives has gone. When
such man dies, who possessed an IN.
tense and active mind which animated
all around him, and made everyone
feel his existence, then his going stirs
the hearts Of his survivors as moth
ing else WILL for with his going we
lose friendship, intellect and broad
mind--thc sunlight Of which develops
pride and admiration for the mantle
sorrow has many sources, and comes TO
us like the voice OF many waters. No
pen, however, facilc, would write a
better eulogy than that which is writ
ten BY his own life-for Warren w.
Bailey was the friend Of man, and to
that ever narrowing circle, the friends
of his youth---his boyhood companions
there was stronger tie, which to
those Of us who are growing old and
will soon pass into the assimilations
Of unknown conditions realize, for
their late friend was unassuming, hon
est. faithful and true.
His funeral was on the Sabbath at
the Congregational church, OF which
he was member and officer, and the
audience which filled the edifice to its
utmost capacity was composed OF men
and women who had gathered to show
their reverence for the man who has
finished his course and was entitled to
his crown.
Rev. Henry S. Ives officiated, using
these words of the Masters for his
text: 1T is finished The trio, Mrs.
Holton, Mrs. Haines johnson and Miss
Anna Atkinsors sang two selections,
"Abide with Me- and "Some Day the
Silver Chord VIII Break" while Mrs.
Wilmer Perkins presided at the organ.
The bearers were friends who had
cherished Warren w. Bailey's friend
ship for more than half century, and
as they looked upon his calm and
peaceful face as he lay in his casket,
which was banked with flowers, trib-
utes from loving friends, they fully
realized shat some day the silver
chord will break" The interment was
in the Oxbow burying ground beside
his brother, Horace w. Bailey, who
had preceded him eight years.
The following is from member of
the Horace w. Bailey Memorial club
