The following excerpts are taken from the obituary notice published recently in the Bemidji, Minnesota, Daily Pioneer:
Funeral services for Mrs. L.H. Bailey who passed away recently at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Hugo Scharf, at Couer d'Alene, Idaho, will be held from the Presbyterian church here Saturday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock. Rev. L.P. Warford will officiate and interment will be in Greenwood cemetery.
Mr. and Mrs. Bailey with their two daughters were early residents of Bemidji, coming here in 1898. They were both active in civic affairs and took a great interest in the growth of the city. Mr. Bailey formed a partnership with E.E. McDonald and practiced law up to the time of his death in 1905. Mrs. Bailey resided in Bemidji about 12 years after her husband's death, then left to make her home alternately with her two daughters, Mrs. Scharf and Mrs. Maude Southworth of Evanston, Ill.
Ida Ridenour was married to L.H. Bailey in 1883 at Marian, Iowa, where she was a teacher in the public schools. After their marriage they left Iowa to live, first at Pierre, South Dakota, and then at Washington D.C. They came from Washington to Bemidji where Mrs. Bailey taught in the public schools for two years, being the first teacher in the red brick school building now the Central school. She was a charter member of the Women's Study Club and a member of the Macabee lodge as well as the Presbyterian Ladies Aid and other organizations.
Besides her daughters, she is survived by two grandchildren; four brothers, John and Leo Ridenour of Tipton, Iowa, Chester of West Liberty, Iowa, and T.H. Ridenour of Ames, and two sisters, Mrs. Harry M. Edge of Marathon, New York, and Mrs. F.S. Arnold of Bemidji.
The remains arrived in Bemidji Friday morning, accompanied by Mrs. Hugo Scharf.
