Death of a NeMbury Man.

Death of a Newbury Man.
Warren w Bailey, Sr., a we'll known
resident of this town, a farmer and
lumber dealer, died at 2 O'Clock Fri
day morning after several weeks ill
ness with sarcoma of the ileum.
Mr. Bailey fas born in Newbury on
Dec. 5, 1859, the son of William U
and Abigail (Eaton) Bailey. He was
a brother of the late Horace W,
Bailey, United States Marshal for
Vermont. Mr. Bailey twice represent
ed the town in the legislature and he
had held the office of Road Commits
sioner. He is survived by his wife,
one daughter, Mrs R A Worthen OF
Newbury, and two sons, Warren W
Bailey Jr. and Horace G Bailey, both
of Newbury, also three grandchildren.
With the decease of Warren w
Bailey another of strong and char
acteristic class of family men, who
have deeply impressed this commun-
ity with their lives, has gone. When
such a man dies who possessed an in
tense and active mind which animal
ed all around him, and made every
one feel his existence, then his going
stirs the hearts of his survivors as
nothing else will, for with his going
we lose friendship, interlect and a
broad mind-the 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, how
ever facile, could write better
eulogy than that which is written on
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 a 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,
honest, faithful and true.
His funeral was on the Sabbath at
the Congregational Church of which
he was a 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 had finished his course and was
entitled to his crown.
Rev. Henry S Ives officiated, using
these words of the Masters for his
text: at is finished" The trio, Mrs
Holton, Mrs Haines johnson and Miss
Anna Atkinson, sang two selection,
"Abide With Me" and Some Day the
Silver Chord Will Break" while Mrs
Wilmar Perkins presided at the
organ. The bearers, M G Knight, h
w Hubbard, James Johnson and j B
Hale, were friends who had cherish
ed Warren w Bailey's friendship for
for than a half century, and as they
looked upon his calm and peaceful
face as he lay in his casket which
was banked with flowers, tributes
from loving friends, they fully realiz-
ed "that some day the silver chord
will break" The interment was in
the Oxbow Burying Ground beside his
brother Horace w Bailey, who had
proceeded him eight years.
The following is from a member of
the Horace w Bailey Memorial Club,
and which will be inscribed on the
records of that society:
