From the 1919 biography
In 1888 Frank T Bailey went west to Hamilton County, Kans., and took up and homesteaded 160 acres of land, which he proved up; and while there he was married to Miss Tillie Carlyle, when they lived in a dugout. She also had come out to Hamilton County and taken up and preempted land, and she lived in the same vicinity.
He contracted with her to bake bread for him, and that arrangement resulted in a life contract. She was born at Lawrenceville, in Lawrence County, Ill., and is a daughter of William and Elizabeth (Irwin) Carlyle. Her parents were both born in Ohio and married there, and they both died in Illinois when she was five years old. She had three brothers, and a sister who died when fourteen, and the children were put out in different families. She lived with her uncle, John Carlyle, for six years, and then being twelve, went to live at the home of Thomas Kirkwood at the town of Lawrenceville.
Here she had a good home and was able to attend the public schools.
She came out to Kansas with the same cousin's family, and decided to stay. Five years after their marriage, Mr. and Mrs. Bailey proved up a homestead, and soon after that they moved to Sedgwick County, Kans., where they lived on a farm south of Wichita. They farmed in that county until 1906, when they went. to Los Angeles, Cal. Mr. Bailey there made some unlucky business investments, through which he lost about all that he had. In 1911. however, he came to Laton and in February rented Charles Nowlin's ranch of 160 acres six miles north of Laton. The following December, he bought forty acres where he now
lives. He has since bought forty acres more, and his son, Glenn, has also bought twenty acres, which lie directly between the two parcels of forty acres just referred to. The ranch is well irrigated, and he has two silos. At first, Mr. Bailey embarked in the raising of Percheron horses, but this he has discontinued, and now he produces beef and pork. His ranch is called the Twin Oaks.
Mr. and Mrs. Bailey have four children: Alta M.. the wife of Clark D. Long, who is employed by the Santa Fe Railroad at Hanford, and they have one child ; Cora B., the wife of William Hebner. a plumber of Los Angeles, and they have two children: Glenn C. who is a partner in farming with his father and who married Rilla Vaughn, a native of Kansas and the daughter of T. W. and Mary i Montgomery i Vaughn, and they have one child, Velma ; and Paul H., who attended the Laton High School, and who is a trap-drummer in the First Aerial Band of the Twenty-sixth Aerial Squadron.
