Joyce,

I saw you just added the Bailey Burial Ground reading to the website.  I wanted to share these photos taken in July 2003 of some of the stones in this cemetary.

Dennis Carter now owns the old Bailey farm.  He was gracious enough to accompany me up the hill to the cemetery during my research trip to Bradford County.  He helped me pull back the weeds covering some of these stones.  One of these pics is of the grand oak tree that stands over the cemetery.

Please note there is a photo of Electa Baldwin Bailey's stone, b. 1822 d. 14 Sep. 1881.  She is the wife of Jeremiah Bailey b. 19 Nov 1817 d. 1891.  Electa is not listed in this reading; but since this stone is there, I would think it safe to assume she is there as well.  The stone is hard to read unless you zoom in on the photo.

Also shown on the photo of Thomas J. Bailey and Lydia, his wife, Lydia's dates are given as follows...b. 22 Nov 1844 d. 8 Jan 1873.  The reading gives her dates as identical to Thomas'.
