The body was brought to Bedford Monday noon and the funeral service was held Tuesday afternoon from the First Baptist Church, C. C. Hatcher assisted by Rev. Goodwin and Rev. Lowe conducting the service. Interment was made in the Fairview cemetery.
Charles H. Bailey, youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. Dave Bailey of North Bedford was born in Cedar county, Iowa, Jan. 12, 1871, went away to his home beyond from their home in Topeka, Kans. Saturday Jan. 11th, 1919.
With his parents he came from Cedar County to Taylor County where he grew to young manhood.
In 1893, when 22 years of age, he went to Montana. After two years he returned to Bedford, making his home here till in 1908 when he went to Garden City, Kans. and later to Topeka, where with his family, he resided till the grand summons was answered after a week of acute illness.
On Feb. 12th 1895 he was united in marriage to Miss Alta Putman of Bedford, Iowa.
To them were born two children, Miss Vera Hazel and Harry Kenneth.
When but a boy [he] turned to his Lord and publicly professed his faith in him.
Some years later he united with the East Mission branch of the First Baptist church of Bedford and was faithful in every way to the challenge here offered. As Supt. and teacher in the S. S. his work was effective. Coming to town his life and work was on the same telling basis He always transferred his membership to the place of his residence. In this he was happily associated and supported by his devoted family. In the realm of Christian endeavor he bore out his lively and determinate nature, willing to undertake any challenge tho an honest failure might await him.
In this as in all life activities he like Chas. Wagner, was an exponent of the Simple Life eschewing the gorgeous superficial.
Brother Charlie was loyally patriotic. He tried to join the army, and the Navy, but being beyond the age limit was unable. For three months prior to his decease he gave his services to his country in ship construction in the shipyards at Portland, Oregon. Truly he gave his life for his country. Handling asbestos and otherwise he seemed to become poisoned, which effect he was never able to rid from his system.
With an application on file for overseas Y. M. C. A. service, he withdrew same, declining to stay in line for said advantage when not able to get into the "Big-Game" while the fighting was on. He hated to give up his work for his country, working overtime and days when unable because engaged in his country's business.
Giving up his work in the yards he paid a visit to his father's family in Bedford and others at Omaha, returning to his home in Topeka soon took to his bed and after seven days of acute illness and suffering gave up his noble worthful life on earth to enter into the reward of the faithful.
Deceased was one of four children. Erwin J. or Winnie, Bedford, Ia., Clarence D. Stewart, Nebr. Mrs. Florence M. Russell, Omaha, Nebr. survive with the father and mother, the widowed companion, the son and daughter, seven nieces and nephews and other relatives and friends suffer the loss this beautiful and happy young life.
For 53 years this good family of Baileys was not invaded by the messenger of death. Till the 6th of Oct. last the circle remained unbroken. At that time a nephew of the deceased, Walter E. Bailey gave up his life by pneumonia in a hospital in France.
Thus has gone from labor to rest an earnest Christian, noble citizen, devoted companion—father.
A good soldier of the Cross of Christ, an exponent of the best in home life serving well his day and age, a patriot of true Americanism. Truly when our country shall call the roll of her heroes the name of Charles H. Bailey should be in the list.
Tho' not permitted to wear the colors, honor is due him in that he helped make possible the victory to our soldiers in colors.
