Bailey Cemetery (#3 on Cemetery map) was in use from 1834 to 1898. It is located on Garfield Road, .45 mile east from Horse Heaven Road, on left, just after the swamp. It is 300' from the road, on a mound, in middle of field. When surveyed in 1985, there were 21 markers, 19 of which are recorded here:

  • Bailey, "Dear" Laura d. Dec. 30, 1870 (26y5m9days), wife of William H. Bailey; broken:

    And when around thy quiet hearth/Thy children fondly meet/What anguish fills the inmost soul/To see that vacant seat/But why indulge those thoughts of grief/Why should we thus complain/To what to us is loss severe/Is her eternal gain

  • Bailey, Mary M. Strait d. Dec. 31, 1857 (42y1m14d); m/Orry Bailey; marker is broken in half, willow tree on tympanum:
