MRS. LUCY BAILEY DIES IN GRAND JUNCTION
Saturday morning Moulton CHAMBERS received a telegram from Jackson
DAVIS, announcing the death of Mr. DAVIS' mother, Mrs. Lucy BAILEY, at their
home in Grand Junction the previous evening. Mrs. BAILEY was one of the pioneer
women of the McCoy neighborhood, later living in Eagle, where she was greatly
beloved.
We clip the following regarding Mrs. BAILEY from Saturday's Grand Junction
Sentinel:
"Mrs. Lucy BAILEY, 78, beloved resident of Grand Junction and one of the true
pioneers of Western Colorado, passed away suddenly last night at her home at 611
White avenue, from a heart attack.
Although she had been in failing health for a number of years, Mrs. BAILEY had
been up and around the house and for the past few days had seemingly felt very
well. She was stricken at the dinner table and died only a few minutes later.
"She was born in Charleston, Miss., March 22, 1858, where she spent the years of
her girlhood. About 1900 she was married to George E. BAILEY and in that year
they came to Western Colorado to make their home. They settled in Eagle county,
near McCoy, where they experienced the true life of pioneers, undergoing many of
the hardships which very few of the residents of this part of the country remember. "Despite her long illness, Mrs. BAILEY always maintained a jovial outlook on life
and had a most pleasing and outstanding personality. During her life here and had
endeared herself to all who knew her and her passing will be deeply regretted by her
many friends.
"Mrs. BAILEY had been a resident of Grand Junction for the past seven years
during which time she had made her home with her son, Jackson DAVIS, her only
survivor. Mr. BAILEY passed away at McCoy about fifteen years ago, following
which she and her son moved to Eagle, where he engaged in business for a number
of years, before they moved to Grand Junction.
"Funeral services were held Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock from the chapel of the
Martin funeral home."
