from The Pittsburgh Commercial Gazette dated Thursday, November 10, 1898:
 
Joseph C BAILIFF, formerly one of the best-known business 
men in Allegheny, died yesterday at the Presbyterian hospital, 
Sherman avenue, Allegheny. Mr BAILIFF suffered an attack of 
pneumonia early last summer, which turned to consumption, 
and he was taken to the hospital several weeks ago. He was 
in his 78th year. Mr BAILIFF came here from England about 
50 years ago. He was the senior member of the firm of 
BAILIFF & BROWN, Federal street, plumbers, from a short time 
after his arrival in this country until his retirement from 
business in 1875. In this capacity he acquired a large 
business acquaintance not only in the two cities, but in 
the entire county. A brother lives in California, and a 
sister in Ontario, Canada. He leaves a wife and one son, 
A T BAILIFF, who resides at Undercliff. It is probable that 
Mr BAILIFF's remains will be cremated.


BAILIFF - On Wednesday, November 9, 1898, at 7:10 am, Joseph C 
BAILIFF, in his 78th year. Funeral services at the chapel of H 
Samson, Sixth avenue, on Friday afternoon, at 2 o'clock. Interment 
private.
