Asa Bailey, for a number of years a citizen of Hampton and well known by the older residents of our town, died at his home in Thornton on Thursday, July 23, 1914. He sustained a paralytic stroke some time ago and for nineteen weeks previous to his death had been confined to his bed waiting patiently for the final summons. He was nearly 75 years old.
Asa Bailey was born in Vermilion County, Illinois, November 22, 1839, and when an infant in arms moved with his parents from Illinois to Green County, Wisconsin, where he grew to young manhood. On January 9, 1862, he was joined in marriage to Nancy Bennett at Monroe, Wisconsin, who with four children survives him.
In the fall of 1862, he enlisted in Co. B 31st WI Infantry, and served with that regiment two years and eight months in the civil war. His record as a soldier was a brave one. He was in several battles and marched with Sherman to the sea; through the Carolinas to Washington, D.C., where he took part in the grand review.
In 1873, he moved his family to Hampton, Iowa, and made his residence here until 1889, when he located at Thornton, in Cerro Gordo County, which place has since been his home. He possessed a kindly disposition and had the happy faculty of making and holding friends. He lived an exemplary life and left a record as man and citizen that his family can point to with pride. During his residence in Thornton, he was numbered among the prominent and leading citizens of that town and held many positions of public trust. He served as mayor of the village and was postmaster there for a number of years.
Besides the devoted wife, Mr. Bailey is survived by the following children: Elmer Asa Bailey of Canada; Perry Bailey, Clara Elizabeth Bailey and Mrs. Loa Hopley, all residents of Thornton. He is also survived by two brothers, William W. Bailey of Egan, South Dakota and John Wesley Bailey, resident of Hampton; two sisters are Mrs. Sarah Roberts, Denver, Colorado, and Mrs. Mahala Wagner, Grand Junction, Colorado.
Funeral services, conducted by Rev. Clinton of Hampton, were held from the home in Thornton on Saturday and the remains were brought to Hampton for burial in Lawn Cemetery. The deceased was a member of the Masonic fraternity.
