From The History of Fresno County by Paul E Vandor, published in 1919
FRANK T. BAILEY. A representative of one of America's French-Canadian
families, and an enthusiastic Californian who is a good booster of Laton and the Laguna de Tache, is Frank T. Bailey, a successful rancher who lives three-fourths of a mile east of Laton.
He was born at Lancaster, Grant County, Wis., on January 21, 1862, the son of Antoin Bailey, who was originally called Bailant, after which he anglicized his name. He was born at Quebec, and he married Jemima Day, a native of Kentucky who came with her parents to Wisconsin when she was three years old. Her parents had been married at Lancaster, Pa., and the father was a farmer.
After a while he sold his forty acres in Wisconsin and moved to Kansas, and this was in her eleventh year. He settled in Rice County, on the Little Arkansas River. There were five children, three boys and two girls, and our subject was the oldest. Rather recently the parents came to Los Angeles, and there they both ended their
days, the father reaching his sixty-sixth year, the mother her sixty-fifth.
Frank was educated in part in Iowa, where the Baileys lived for two years after they left Wisconsin and before they went to Kansas, and in part in the latter state, where for a year he attended the Washburn College at Topeka, when he was a schoolmate of Senator John J. Ingall's son. In 1888 he 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 Montgomery 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. Mr. Bailey is a student of the social problems of the day, and votes for principles such as he believes the world is in need of, and for the best men. He favors the Progressive Republican platform, and also Prohibition. He belongs to the Knights of Pythias, Lodge Xo. 44. at Wichita, and to Laton Camp, Modern Woodmen of America. Mrs. Bailey is a member of the Methodist Church and a trustee.
