Jesse N. Bailey Dies Of Heart Attack. Mr. Jesse N. Bailey died very
suddenly at the home of his sister, Mrs. Martha Wells near New Salem,
Saturday evening about 7:30 o'clock, while sitting at the table.
Mr. Bailey was almost fifty-eight years of age, and was born and reared
in the neighborhood in which he died, but for quite a number of years
lived in Glasgow and later in Bowling Green, where he sold groceries. He
went to Florida, where he has been in the grocery and fruit business
about eleven years.
Last week, he and a friend left Florida with a large truck load of
fruit, oranges, lemons, and other fruits, with a view of opening up a
trade here. They arrived here Saturday, and after disposing of some of
the stock, went to the home of his sister, Mrs. Wells, to spend the
night. He ate a very hearty supper, and talked quite freely about how he
was doing well in his adopted home, and was cheerful as to his future
prospects, when suddenly his head fell over, and he was caught by his
friend, who happened to be looking at him, and in a moment he was dead.
Hemorrhage of the brain is said to have been the cause. And his friend
says he had been having some bleeding of the nose on the way from
Florida. It also develops that he has lost three brothers, who died in
the same way.
W, a former nurse of this place. He also leaves one son, Mr. Wendel
Bailey of this county, and five daughters, all living in Florida. One
brother, Mr. Fletcher Bailey of R5 survives him. He leaves two sisters,
Mrs. Wells and Mrs. Bransford Spencer, both on R5.
Thursday, his wife and five daughters arrived from Florida, and
yesterday the funeral was held at the home of Mrs. Wells, near New Salem
by Rev. J. A. Gaines of this place and the burial was held in the
cemetery at that place.
His death has been a great shock to his famly and host of friends.
