Clemmie Mahood was born August 23, 1865, at Burkes Garden, Va., and died at her parsonage home, in Springton, W. Va., October 27, 1932. Her parents were the Rev. James and Mrs. Amanda Mahood. She was married to the Rev. W. E. Bailey on September 26, 1889. To this union were born three girls and two boys: Mrs. George S. Armbrister, Mac, Lucille, Eddie and Joe Bailey, by whom she is survived. The following sisters and one brother survive: Mrs. Mary Sanders Gillespie; Mrs. W. C. Hankla, Misses Carrie and Sallie Mahood, and the Rev. George Mahood. A short funeral service was conducted in her memory by the Rev. R. O. Eller, at the Springton church, after which the body was removed to Trinity Methodist church in Bluefield, Va. There another service was conducted by the Rev. W. M. Morrell, assisted by the Rev. J. R. Brown, Rev. T. S. Hamilton, Rev. J. A. Burrow, Rev. R. O. Eller and others.
ln early girlhood she united with the church and throughout her life was an active and untiring worker. Only a few hours before her death, she conducted a meeting of the Woman's Missionary society of her church. During her life as a minister's wife, she had lived in Tennessee, Virginia and West Virginia, where she had made countless friends. No pastor ever had a more loyal, loving helper than she was. A beautiful tribute to her follows: "Her life was a beautiful example of fortitude, sympathetic understanding, Christian sacrifice, and duty. All the days of her life were spent in trying to bring happiness and comfort to the less fortunate and in doing so she brought happiness to herself. Her berea1·ed family and friends will remember her as one who was calm in the midst of storm, bran: in the face of trouble, and ready always to hold out a steadying hand when others needed it."
Mrs. Bailey has simply slipped through the vale into that other world to prepare the final home for her family. When the Great Bishop of the universe shall read Brother Bailey out to his last appointment in that country where no salaries will be in arrears nor benevolent causes wanting, there will be no more anxiety as to where the next meal shall come from, or how outstanding bills can be paid.
"Servant of God: well done, Rest from thy loved employ. The battle's fought; the victory won; Enter the Master's joy.
