Going through my Bailey family tree to update it, I re-read my Second Great-Grandfather Minza Leonard Bailey's obituary: Eastman Newspaper dated March 16, 1944: M L Bailey, 77, resident of Eastman many years ago, died at his home in Valdosta March 13th following a three-months illness. He was a native of Wilkinson County. He resided in Miami, Fla. 18 years where he was a produce dealer. Funeral services were conducted at Mt. Horeb Baptist Church March 14 by Rev R G P McKinnonw. Songs were sung by J W Dunn, H H Peacock and Mr and Mrs J E Conley. Casket bearers were Robert L Pipkin, P D Fordham, Edgar Fordham, J M Hamlin, W J Dunlay and S F Johnson. Burial was in Bowers Cemetery. Surviving are: daughers, Mrs O W Middleton, **Mrs Ernest C Griner, Mrs I D Jones, Mrs Walter Jump, Mrs Eloise Tharpe; six sons, M L Bailey, Jr., Gratin Bailey, Alton, Renau, Wendell and Herbert Bailey; one brother E E Bailey of Dodge County. Does anyone know who E E Bailey is? This Unlce was never in any census records unlike Grandfather William Henry Harrison & Grandmother Nancy Mildred LORD Bailey's five other children, yet Grandfather William mentions six children in his CSA Pension Application (which I wish children were listed like those filed in 'Bama..lol). Known brothers of Grandfather Minza, one of Grandparents William & Nancy's sons, are: William Hugh & the mysterious James Franklin, sisters were Cordellia & Anna 'Annie' L. Bailey. Also, do pictures of any of these Bailey family members exist & obituaries? Ray, Minza's grandson, is reaching 88 & I would love for my grandfather to see some family pictures before he passes. Thank You, Lena Happy New Year (May Ya'll have a blessed & great 2006)! Go Dawgs! Sic 'Em! Woof, Woof, Woof!
