Greetings NJSussex researchers, Sussex Independent newspaper dated Friday 22 Nov 1918 Mrs. Daniel Bailey Mrs. Anne Elizabeth Bailey, wife of Captain Daniel Bailey, died at her home at Glenwood last Thursday of ailments incident to old age. Mrs. Bailey had been in poor health for some time and for the past two wee4ks was confined to her bed. Mrs. Bailey was born April 1, 1841, at Paterson, the daughter of Peter J. and Delia Ryerson Brown. Mrs. Bailey grew up on a neighboring farm to that which her husband had always lived, the farms settled by their respective great grandfathers. They were boy and girl sweethearts and their marriage was the termination of a romance. Before their marriage, while Captain Bailey lay seriously wounded on the fields of Virginia, the captain's mother and sweetheart made the perilous trip to the scene of the war where Daniel Bailey lay wounded in battle. The captain's widowed mother and Miss Brown, his intended, went in reponse to a telegram, which said that he had been given up by surgeons. Through the aid of friends in Washington they were able to reach the front. The two women took possession of an abandoned house, made up substitutes for furniture from Uncle Sam's barrels, boxes, and coffee sacks, found a native who had saved a cow and was glad to exchange milk for some Quartermaster's stores, and through many weeks they nursed Mr. Bailey back to life. February 25, 1863, the young couple were married and in the winter of 1864-5 Mrs Bailey was with her husband in Kentucky, the regiment being in garrison and having good quarters. It was here that news of Grant's final victory at Appomattox came to them. They were unable to reach home until September, 1865, and the homestead in Glenwood has been their residence ever since. Mrs. Bailey has long been a member of the Glenwood Baptist Church and the many acts of charity and good deeds performed during her long and useful life would fill a volume. She leaves surviving her, besides her husband, one son, Matthew G. Bailey, of Glenwood, and two daughters, Mrs. W. E. Reed, of Washingtonville, NY and Mrs. J. J. Van Order, of Caldwell. Funeral services were held at the home Thurs. afternoon at 1:30 and were conducted by Rev. James Bristow, of Warwick. Burial was in the family plot in the Glenwood Cemetery. Hope that was as interesting to you as it was to me. Happy Hunting, Cathy DiPietro listowner NJSussex-L
