MRS. JANE BAILEY died at her home at Five Points, Pickaway County, April 28, 1887, aged 91 years and 9 months. Her maiden name was Stufflebeam and she was born on the borders of Lake Erie, near Buffalo, New York, on the 28th of July, 1795. She was married to John Bailey, at or near Circleville, on the 20th day of February, 1817. Their union was blessed with eleven children, eight of whom are living. Her husband died some years ago, from injuries received while a soldier in the War of 1812, and from that time she received a widow's pension. She was probably the last surviving eye witness of the great naval battle known in history as Perry's victory on Lake Erie, her future husband being a participant in the conflict. The deceased joined the M.E. Church at Greenland, Monroe township, about thirty-three years ago, and has been a faithful member ever since, though not an active one for some years, on account of her advanced age. Her life has been a long and useful one, and sadly will the family miss Grandma, and she will be missed by all who knew her, as they looked on her as one who linked the last century with the present and lived to see generations pass away.
