The Jackson Citizen, 30 November 1853
(Michigan)

DIED.—In Sandstone, on Friday night, the 25th inst., Mr. JAMES BAILEY, aged 73 years, 8 months and 19 days.
Mr Bailey was a native of Cornwall, England, form whence he immigrated to New York, many years since. The last 12 years of his life he resided in Sandstone, in this County. He had through a long life been distinguished as an upright, christian man; and during this last and only sickness of his life, he looked back upon his long pilgrimage with satisfaction, and met his death calmly and was resigned. His disease was Inflamation of the Bowels, with which he was attacked the Wednesday preceeding his decease. He leaves an aged companion, a large family circle, and a community of friends to mourn his departure.
