Bailey - Of softening of the brain, after an illness of a year or more, during which she grew steadily worse, Mrs. Catherine J. Bailey died at 4 A. M. Saturday at the home of her niece, Mrs. Kate Miller, with whom she had lived for a long time. She was a daughter of Joel and Mrs. Mary Embry, who came to this State from Tennessee in the early '30s and who kept hotel in a building where the Myers House now stands. Mrs. Bailey was born June 13, 1823, and was one of five children, all of whom except Mr. Sam J. Embry, are dead. In 1839, when she was 16, she was married to Judge Winfred Bailey, 20 or more years her senior, and their union was a most happy one, ending about 15 years ago in the death of the husband she loved so well. They had no children. Since anybody here can remember, Mrs. Bailey has been a faithful member of the church and as long as she could go her seat in the Christian church was rarely vacant in regular or other services. She was in every way a lovely woman and many, besides her kinspeople loved "Aunt Cath," as she was generally and lovingly known, with real devotion. For months her once bright mind had been clouded and she had been the object of great solicitude and care by her faithful niece, who has been unremitting in her labor of love for her. Her death, which would have formerly been greatly deplored, comes now in form of relief both for her tired spirit and those who so carefully watched over her. Sunday afternoon in the presence of a large audience of friends at the Christian church, Rev. F. W. Allen preached a most appropriate sermon and then the remains were laid beside those of her husband, over which she had placed a magnificent monument in token of her love for him, and upon which she had inscribed: "Christian, representative, senator, judge and citizen, all of which positions he filled with fidelity and honor." Her nieces, Misses Virginia Bowman and Josephine Reid, strewed beautiful flowers on the new made grave and then all was over in this life of a noble and true woman.
