Bailey Homes and Cemetery

 

Allen German Bailey died in the Civil War. His lands eventually passed on to his son John Pleasant Bailey. When John P died the land eventually went to his children. Two sons, John L and Oscar eventually ended up splitting the farm between them. John built his own house and Oscar lived in the old house until he built his own.

Bud (Oscar) Bailey’s home. It looks about the same as when it was built.

John Bailey’s home. The front has been remodeled. There was a one-story porch extending the width of the house and the yard was surrounded by a white picket fence.

The family cemetery lies on the dividing line between the lands of John and Bud. John’s home is in the grove of trees in the distance behind the cemetery. Bud’s home is to the back of the photographer at the same distance. The old home site is to the left about halfway to the bottom of the hill where the spring was.
