Mrs. Lillie Minerva Bailey Passed Away
Another of our beloved and well known pioneer citizens passed
away at the home of her son, George, at Logan, after an illness
that let her bedfast for many months, Saturday morning, Nov
22, 1941.
Funeral services were held at the M.E. church at Gandy, Wednesday,
November 26, at 2:00 p.m. Rev. E. N. Littrell of Arnold, officiating
Burial was in the McCain cemetery.
A quartette - Oscar Abrams, W. E. Hill, Mrs. Ivan Jones, Mrs.

Lillie Minerva Hartzell, daughter of Benjamin and Elenora
Hartzell, was born June 30, 1873, in Williams Township, Northampton
County, Penn. At the age of 10 years, she came west with her
parents, this move being made on account of her health. They
stopped for a short time at Lincoln, Nebraska, and then moved
to Logan county, where they homesteaded. With the exception
of about one year, when she was 18 years of age, this county
has been her home.
In 1895, she was united in marriage to George Bennett Bailey,
and to this union, twelve children were born, nine of whom
survive their mother: Mabel Wemple, of Stapleton, Nebr., Helen
Caulk, Walter Bailey and George Bailey, all of Logan Nebr.;
Grace Imel of Denver Colo; Bernice Bantz of Oakland, Calif;
Inez Appleby of Selma, Calif; Cosby Witt of Heeney, Col; and
Florence Bairn of Lewellen, Nebr. Three children, Josephine,
Lilian and Irene, preceded their mother to their Eternal Rest,
as did one brother and two grandchildren, Glen Wemple and George
Caulk. Mr. Bailey departed this life in 1932, and since that
time Mrs. Bailey has made her home with her children, most
of the time with her son, George.
It was during the year she spent in Pennsylvania, at the age
of 18 years that Mrs. Bailey united with the German Reformed
Lutheran Church, but during the later years of her life, she
attended the Methodist Church of Gandy.
After her marriage, Mrs. Bailey and her husband resided with
her parents for eleven years, and then they took a homestead
where she has resided until the time of her passing.
Mrs. Bailey has not been in good health for a number of years,
but about thirteen months ago she became bedfast most of the
time. She has been a very patient sufferer during her entire
illness, always thinking of the welfare of others, rather than
of herself. Unstinted care and nursing has been given by her
children, but it availed nothing, and on the morning of Nov.
22, 1941, she answered her final summons, at the age of 68
years, 4 months and 22 days.
Besides her children, she leaves 11 grandchildren, a large
number of other relatives and many, many friends and neighbors
who have learned to know and admire her.
