IN MEMORIAMPatrick Bailey Dies Sober.Colfax, Iwo., Oct. ti, 1881.Mrs. If. M. Gouyar:At the request of Mr. Gobble, of this place, I send you the following:Patrick Bailey who signed the pledge under your labors some four years ago, died very suddenly last Saturday about noon, of apoplexy. He had been engaged during the forenoon in walling a well—came out of the well and complained of feeling badly, walked out to the barn, and in about five minutes some person passing that way found him in a dying condition. A physician was called, but he was dead before the physician arrived. I was assured by the deceased himself, just a day or two before his death, that he had kept his pledge inviolate. He also remarked - to me that “it made him shudder when he saw a young man drinking;” and “that he would not take a drink of intoxicants for his life.” He was born in County Loud, Ireland, in 1822. Came to America in 1840.Yours, c., A. W. Wood,Pastor M. E. Church.
