          JOHN H. BAILY. Intelligence reached West Chester that
      JOHN H J BAILY, a former resident of this place, had died
      suddenly Sunday night in a Philadelphia hospital from kidney
      trouble.
          Mr. BAILY was well known here, where he lived for a number
      of years prior to moving to Philadelphia. While here he served a 
      term or two as constable and was a very efficient official. At
      various times he was employed as a bar clerk at the EAGLE,
      TURKS HEAD, and MANSION House hotels, and was familiarly
      known as "Snapper." He was in the fifty-ninth year of his age,
      and leaves a wife and grown up daughter, MARY, who is known
      to many persons here. JOHN HOOPES BAILY was born and
      reared in Westtown township, and was a son of the late
      A. W. BAILY, of Pocopson township. JAMES W. BAILY, of 
      Pocopson township, is a brother of the deceased.
          He was a member of Company K, 124th Penna. Volunteers, 
      and was a good soldier. He took great interest in the reunions 
      of the association and was always to be found at the annual 
      gatherings. He was quite popular among his comrades, and at
      the late reunion at Reading he received a very complimentary
      vote for secretary.
          Several years ago, he lost an arm on the Pennsylvania Railroad,
      and has since held a position under the company at Broad Street
      station. For several years past he lived at No. 144 North Twelfth
      Street, Philadelphia.
          The funeral will take place tomorrow morning from his late home,
      to proceed to Hinkson's Corner M.E. Cemetery, near Media.
