FORMER RESIDENT DIES IN OREGON

Word has been received here of the death of Burton Bailey at Portland, Ore. on May 25, 1918. His death took place shortly after an operation upon his stomach. Up until the time of the operation he had been well and in the best of spirits.

Mr. Bailey was born at Black River Falls, Wis., Feb. 19, 1868. He attended school, grew to manhood and maturity, and lived in Greenwood, Clark County until about seventeen years ago.

His death has been a great shock to his aged mother, his children and his many friends. The sympathy of Greenwood friends is felt particularly for his mother, who has lost her chief protector and main stay. Besides his mother and his sisters, Mrs. Kountz and Mrs. Williams, Mr. Bailey leaves three children, Frances Faye, Lorence Dudley, and Van Everera. His brother Dorrance was killed several years ago by lightning.
