    1. [ALLIMEST] John BAILEY Reported to Have Murdered Wife, 1879
    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: BAILEY Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/EU.2ADI/509 Message Board Post: Hi, I just posted an old newspaper article that reports that John W. BAILEY of Elkmont (Limestone County), AL shot his wife after they'd argued and she said she would leave him. This was scanned from an original issue of the Memphis Daily Avalanche from my own collection of old newspapers; you can see it online here: http://theoldentimes.com/lovelynot79al.html The article noted that BAILEY had escaped but he was being pursued by local citizens, and that he would probably be lynched. I hope it's helpful! Barbara http://theoldentimes.com http://theoldentimes.com/old_news_al.html
