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.
