BAILEY, A. WARD (SRGP 08349)
Mansfield and vicinity was shocked and grieved Monday when the
news spread of the death of Ward Bailey, Carrier on Route Number Two out
of Mansfield. Mr. Bailey had been suffering from the effects of a
severe cold, but continued to make his rounds in his usual efficient manner.
However, on one of the trips he became so ill that he could not complete
his rounds and another carrier finished for him. Mr. Bailey grew
rapidly worse, pneumonia developing and Monday morning about three o’clock
he died. A. Ward Bailey was the son of Wesley and Fanny Gertrude
Hoard Bailey, and was born in Charleston on February 16, 1864. His
boyhood days were passed in Charleston, where he attended the schools and
later finished in the Mansfield Business college. He was married
three times, his first wife being Mollie Urell; the second being Grace
Sweet, both of whom are deceased. His third marriage was to Mrs.
Ethel Stickler, who survives him, together with two sons by the second
marriage, Llewellyn and Raymond Bailey, of Mansfield; four by the third
marriage, Frances, Jeanette, Josephine and Donald, one step-son, Marvin
Love, a step-daughter, Pretha Love; a brother, Dwight H. Bailey, of Mansfield,
and a sister, Mrs. Sarah Josephine Grenolds, of Buffalo. Mr.
Bailey had been a mail carrier for about fourteen years, and being a man
of jolly and congenial nature he had made many friends, not only along
the route he served, but among those whom he met in the course of daily
life. The sympathy of all these is extended to the bereaved family.
He was a member of Mansfield Grange and the Rural Carriers’ Association;
also of the Mansfield Methodist Episcopal church. The funeral will
be held today (Wednesday) from his late home, at three o’clock, the Reverend
F. P. Simmons officiating. Interment will be in Prospect Cemetery.

- Mrs. Betsy Lawrence (SRGP) 16677)
Her Death at the Remarkable Age of 101 Years
Mrs. Betsy Lawrence, than whom there were few older persons living
in this part of the state, died at the home of her son, C. H. Lawrence,
in this boro, about 4 o'clock last Sunday morning aged 100 years, 8 months
and 14 days. Mrs Lawrence had been confined to her bed only since
Thursday of last week. She conversed intelligently with members of
the family Saturday afternoon and to all appearances, while unable longer
to speak, retained control of her mental faculties to the hour of dissolution.
Mrs. Lawrence was born in the State of Massachusetts, on Feb. 11, 1791.
She was the youngest of ten children equally divided between the sexes,
of Mr. And Mrs. Robert Bailey. When eleven years old she accompanied
her oldest brother, Roswell Bailey, to this county and continued to reside
with him on a farm hewn from the wilderness near the present hamlet of
Dartt Settlement until, a few years later, her parents left their New England
home to take up their residence on one of the Bingham estate possessions
embracing the farm near the mouth of Mill Creek, subsequently known as
the Joseph Guernsey place. The house in which they lived was a rough
log structure, and stood between the railroad tract of today and the Tioga
river. Roswell Bailey, previously mentioned as the brother with who
Mrs. Lawrence came to Pennsylvania, was the father of John W. Bailey, of
Wellsboro; Mrs. Philip Williams, of this boro, and Clark, Robert, Benjamin,
Wilson and Rockwell Bailey and Mrs. Richard Moore, all long since deceased.
Among the near neighbors of the Bailey family at Mill Creek, was Lyman
Adams, father of William Adams of this boro, who conducted a general store
and carried on a saw mill in the neighborhood.. From the mouth of
Mill Creek, which at the time of which we write was an important business
centre, the Bailey family moved to the farm in Rutland, near the mouth
of Bailey creek, now owned by William Lawrence, of this boro. In
1811 or 1812 the subject of this sketch was married to Jonathan Lawrence,
a native of Connecticut, who had learned the hatter's trade in the
east and for some years after coming to Pennsylvania manufactured the head
gear for his fellow citizens both far and near. Soon after their
marriage Mr. And Mrs. Lawrence moved to Columbia Flats, now Sylvania, just
over the county line in Bradford county. Here they lived happily
for nearly a quarter of a century, for many years conducting a hotel or
old-time tavern. About the year 1840 they moved to the farm in Sullivan
township subsequently owned by Nathan Palmer, where five years later, at
the age of 63, Mr. Lawrence died, leaving to his windowed companion the
care of their three oldest children; six other children having preceded
their father to the great beyond. Those living were Caroline, (Mrs.
Nathan Palmer) who died two years ago, aged 73, Herrick, who died in Mansfield
in 1872, aged 47, and Mr. C. H. Lawrence, the youngest child, with who
the aged lady has for several years made her home and at whose house her
death occurred.The funeral was held Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock at the
house and the remains interred in Hope cemetery, this boro.
