A.J. Bailey, Norris Owens, Capt. R.C. Owens Have Died, February 1920

From The Independent, Elizabeth City, N.C., Feb. 13, 1920

A.J. Bailey Died

A.J. Bailey, for five years keeper of the Pasquotank County Home, died last Friday morning at the age of 78 years. He had been in feeble health for several years.

He is survived by three daughters and four sons. The daughters are Mrs. Alice Madrin, Mrs. Gertrude Haskett, Mrs. A.C. Garrett, all of this city. The sons are George Bailey of Norfolk, and Ben, Harry and Claude Bailey of this city.

Mrs. Bailey will give up her position as matron of the County Home, to the keen regret of the inmates and county officials. On account of the feeble condition of her husband for several years the details of the management of the Home have been in Mrs. Bailey’s hands and she has discharged the work skillfully and efficiently.
