Henry Edward (Ed) Bailey was the son of William E. Bailey and Catherine Louise Foust. He had one half-sister, Sarah Matilda Brant, one half-brother, Clyde Bailey, and one stepbrother, Harry Bennett.
Ed enlisted in the U.S. Army on May 14, 1920, and served as a medical assistant until his discharge on May 23, 1923. He married Ruth Gary in Cumberland County, Maryland, on December 19, 1923.
For a while after his discharge, Ed drove a daily milk wagon in Somerset County. Then he joined the medical division of the Federal Penal System. He worked for several years as a guard and medical assistant in penitentiaries in Ohio, in Michigan, near El Paso, Texas, and in Leavenworth, Kansas.
Ed later worked for the National Battery Co. of Leavenworth, Kansas. When the company moved to Denver, Colo., he transferred with it. The company was later purchased by the Westric Battery Corporation. Ed was an avid union man during his stint at the battery company.
He retired in 1966, and he and Ruth went home to Pennsylvania. Ed had wanted to run a gas station for many years, so he bought an Esso station on Pecan Hill in Franklin the same year. Only three years later, Ed and Ruth were killed in an auto accident.
Ed Bailey loved his family. He also loved baseball, peanuts, and canasta. One of his grandsons grew up near Ed and can tell wonderful stories about him. He and Ruth are still dearly missed.
