Following biography taken from Joel Livingston's book; History of Jasper County:
J. H. Bailey, a prominent attorney of Carthage, is an instance of a man who has had opportunities and has made good use of them. He has every reason to be proud of his descent, and yet how vain are all hereditary honors, those poor possessions from another's deeds,unless our own just virtues form our title and give sanction to our fond assumption.
Mr. Bailey was born at Granby, Missouri, October 17, 1868. His grandfather was William H. Bailey, a native of Kentucky who had come north and settled in Franklin county at an early date. There John C., father of J.H. Bailey, was born in 1844. when the Civil war broke out John C. Bailey, then only a youth, enlisted int he army, on the Union side. For four years and four months he fought with the Second Arkansas [Union] Cavalry, participating in all the engagements in which his regiment had a part. He fought against the land of his father's birth, but side with the cause of liberty and equality. He held that "all men are created equal; that they are endowed by the Creator with certain inalienable rights that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness."
After the war was over he returned to his home and engaged in mining, which profession he followed all his life. He became very well known and prominent in mining circles.
He [first] married Barbara Winchester, who like himself was born in Missouri and was also of an old Kentucky family. This union was productive of four sons, all of whom are now living (1911).
In 1878 he came to Joplin as superintendent of the Granby Mining & Smelting Company, which position he held for many years. He was always a very active man until he partially lost his sight in 1909 and was obliged to retire from active work as a result of that affliction.
The Republican party has had an efficient supporter in John C. Bailey [father]. He was several times chairman of the county committee and twice chairman of the congressional committee. He has also served as sheriff and recorder of deeds, and has an unblemished record in each and every capacity in which he has officiated.
J.H. Bailey was educated in the public schools of Jasper County, and when only a boy he gave evidence of possessing a remarkable gift of language, and a clear insight into the value of things. He could weigh both sides of a question, and although firm in maintaining his own arguments, he could also see his opponent's viewpoint. Because of these abilities he chose the profession of a lawyer. He attended the Washington University, graduating from its law department in 1895 and immediately commenced his law practice in Carthage in that same year, and his been in Carthage since that time, where he has achieved great success.
In 1907 Mr. Bailey was married to Miss Elizabeth T. Beatty, a young lady who was born in Illinois. He is a member of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks and of the Knights of Pythias, being an active participant in the work and sociability of both organizations. Like his father, his sympathies are Republican in tendency. He desires the ultimate triumph of the Republican party, and although not an office seeker, he is actively interested in public affairs. He has the interests of Carthage and of the country at large very much at heart, and if at any time he should hold any office, it is safe to predict that it's duties would be performed for the welfare of Carthage, and not to further his own interests.
