BAILEY, John B.
  b. 11 May 1795
  d. 21 Apr 1894    OLD 178-04
  "NEARLY A CENTURY--John B. Bailey the Oldest Man in Salem--Something of His Career--Will Be A Hundred Years Old in Two Years More--An old man with whitened beard and dimmed eyes seated in a rocking chair and bending forward with his head upon his cane to catch the warmth of the flickering blaze in an ancient looking fireplace formed a picture that greeted a Statesman reporter  yesterday when he was ushered into the home of W.H. Cross in North Salem to see the oldest man in the county, and perhaps the oldest in the state--Grandpa John B. Bailey, who is rapidly approaching the ninety-eighth anniversary of his birthday.
  He was born on the eleventh day of May, 1795, near Granville, N.C., twelve years after the close of the revolution and while Washington was serving his second term as president of the United States.  He continued to live there sometime, and on the 11th of May 1824--in the year of John Quincy Adam's election to the presidency, Lafayette's memorable visit to America, and before Henry Clay and Daniel Webster reached the height of their fame--he married Miss Sarah Trullinger, near Greensboro, Gilford county.  She was born in the same year as her husband and died at the age of 80 in Marshfield, Oregon.
  Ungrateful Children--There he raised a family of nine children, one of whom died at the age of 20 years.  Nancy Catherine and Elizabeth are also dead.  His surviving children are: John and George age 63 and 61 years respectively, who are thought to be residents of southern Oregon; Henry, aged 70, of Red Oak, Iowa; Mrs. Sarah Bruner, of Kansas, aged 55; and Mrs. Matilda J. Cross, of this city, aged 51 years.  The old man's children, with the exception of the latter, have become lost in the affairs of the world and do not even know where he is or care whether he is alive or dead.
  About 1832 he moved with his family from North Carolina to Orange county, Indiana, and later to Fountaine county, which was about the time the source of the Mississippi river was discovered and the first horse cars were run on the streets of New York city.
  In the year 1842 Grandpa Bailey, becoming dissatisfied with the Hoosier state and longing for life in the wilds of Missouri, emigrated there and became one of the pioneers of Dallas county where he remained three years.  His next move was to Monroe county, Iowa, where he lived with his family about twenty years.
  Restlessness again overcame him and he started across the plains with an ox team for this state, arriving here in '64, when he was 69 years old.  Roseburg was his first location and from there he went to Oregon City--the anti-chamber of the state.  After two years spent there Grandpa Bailey betook himself and wife to Lancaster, in the vicinity of Harrisburg.  They were too old to live alone by that time and soon left there to go to Marshfield, Coos county, to live with their son.  After a residence of ten years there, during which Grandma Bailey died, the old man came to Salem in 1875 to make his home with his daughter, Matilda.
  A Pleasant Home--He has lived there ever since, surrounded by loving ones who make his life as pleasant as possible.  He spends most of his waking hours in front of the fireplace in the sitting room wandering in a world of fancies.  He has a fondness for visitors and can enjoy a joke with as much zest as anyone.  He likes to talk of his great age and nothing pleases him better than to be told he looks quite young for one of his age, which is true.
  His bedtime is from 7 to 9 p.m. and he usually sleeps until 12 or 2 in the afternoon.  Breakfast is taken to him and he eats in bed and takes a nap afterward.  He is a hearty eater and takes his other meals at the table with the family.  He always shaves himself and can use a razor better than most men.  The family afford him a great deal of enjoyment by reading to him.  He never becomes cross or troublesome like many old people.
  The Bird Escaped--Two years ago he shouldered his gun and started hunting.  He had not gone far before he saw a grouse sitting on a tree, and, raising the weapon to his shoulder, he prepared to take deliberate aim and shoot off the head of the bird.   He shut his left eye as he had done many a time before with the intention of glancing out along the glistening barrel.  Something was wrong.  He tried again, and with no more success, and it was then for the first time that he learned that the sight of his right eye was gone.  The other eye is failing now and he can hardly distinguish anyone.
  He is a great lover of angling and until recently would walk long distances to throw his line in a trout pool.  For one of his age he walks very sprightly even now.
  A year ago last February he suffered temporary aberration for a period of three days, and when he regained his mind he was taken sick and came near dying.
  Grandpa is a singer--Last New Year's day he visited his nephew, Martin Bailey, at Marion, where he met many of the early settlers of the state.  He was quite jovial and during the evening sang several songs in a very lively strain.
  When asked how many grandchildren he had, the nonogenarion replied, "Why, why, I really can't think of them all," and laughing heartily, he turned to his daughter and said, "Tillie, you'll have to help me."  His grandchildren number nearly ninety, and he has ever so many great grandchildren and great great grandchildren.  Levi Bailey, of South Salem, is a nephew of the old gentleman, and Mrs. Gus Kaiser, of this city, is a granddaughter.
  Reminiscential--With some difficulty Grandpa Bailey was induced to talk of some of his earlier military recollections.  He intended to enter the Black Hawk war, but the Indian chief was captured before he enlisted.  In 1861 when the civil war broke out he was 66, and, being too old to enter the service, he joined the "Graybeards" or home guards.  When a boy he was on many of the old revolutionary battlefields and remembers seeing cannon balls and other evidence of the conflict scattered about.
  The old man dwelt lovingly on his reminiscences of the wonderful pigeon roots of Missouri, which was eight miles long and six miles wide.  The pigeons were so numerous that the timber was broken to pieces by their great weight.  They were always flying to and fro and the force of their wings was so great it would blow a man's hat off.
  May 11th has been a great day for him throughout his ninety-eight years of life, he says.  He was born on that date, first saw his wife on May 11th and on that day of the month was afterward married to her.  He was never engaged in a law suit and has been a member of the Christian church for many years.  Politically he was a Whig in his younger days but later became a Republican and has voted that ticket ever since--except once, and that was last November, when no conveyance was at hand to take him to the polls--casting eighteen presidential ballots during that time.
  Proud of His Strength--Grandpa Bailey takes a great pride in the great physical powers possessed at a younger age and enjoys telling what he did when "slights of art and feats of strength went round".   "I came from a healthy family," said he.  "My father died at the age of 93 and my mother was nigh onto a hundred and both my grandfathers were very old.  When I lived in Clackamas county I was 72.  One morning I went out and split 100 rails before dinner.  When I was 80 I could more'n most men.  I weight about 185 when I was in good health and I was right in the prime of life between 60 and 70.  When I was in Clackamas I dug sixty bushels of potatoes a day."
  The old gentleman talks very slowly and with a great many pauses he continued, brightening as he proceeded.  "I was a great wrestler, too.  I used to like to get holt of a champion.  Once when I was passing through Greensboro I saw eight or nine hundred men standing in a ring.  I goes up and says, "Hello, what's up?"  Her's a man wants to bet $5 he can lay any man on his back, said some fellow.  I saw the champion.  He was all trigged out ready for the scuffle.  I says, "If you'll put a mark on the ground I'll lay his back on it".  We, sir, I hadn't more'n got holt of him before I flopped him right flat of his back."  And the old man laughed heartily at the recollection of the exploit.
  As the reporter rose to go the old gentleman took him by the hand and half threateningly remarked: "If I had my bearing and my eyesight I believe I could get around among the girls and cut some of you young fellows out," and when the man of pencils left Grandpa was gleefully enjoying his own joke."

  "Aged Brother Hard Hit--Miss Baxter, 72, Dies--Funeral Today--Relative Stricken--Miss Elizabeth Baxter, aged 72, passed away at the state tuber-cular sanatorium yesterday morning at 11 o'clock, after lingering for about three years with a distressing ill-ness.  Miss Baxter had been an inmate of the Methodist Old People's home for three years before her removal to the state institution and it was the one great sorrow of her life that she was obliged to leave the home and a brother, Alex, aged 83, who was also an inmate, and spend the last year of her life in the tubercular hospital.
  The aged brother was taken to the bedside of the sufferer early yester-day morning.  He is in a weakened state at present due to his sorrow and his advanced age.
  The funeral services will be held this afternoon at 3:30 o'clock at Rigdon and Richardson's undertaking parlors.  Rev. Richard N. Avison, pastor of the First M.E. church, will officiate.  The interment will take place in the family plot belonging to the Old People's home in Jason Lee cemetery.  Elizabeth Baxter and her brother, Alex, came to America from Scotland about thirty years ago.  They were members of a fine old Scotch family and there was no doubt much consternation among the members of the Baxter household when the young people decided to leave the family home and seek their fortunes in the new world.  Another brother, John, also came to America and is at present living at Forest Grove.  After spending some time in the eastern states the brother and sister came west and settled in Forest Grove.  Neither married and the golden years of their life have been spent caring for the wants of each other.  The parents in Scotland died and soon the sister and brothers in America were left alone.  Elizabeth and Alex were well along life's pathway and after much deliberation they decided to become inmates of the Old People's home.  Here they lived happily as members of the congenial family until illness destroyed the health of the sister.  She gradually declined until her removal to the state institution was absolutely necessary. The aged brother was deeply affected by the parting, coupled with old age, and her passing has made his condition precarious.
  Both brother and sister have been lifelong members of the Scottish Presbyterian church.  Miss Baxter was born October 31, 1842, leaving her home for America in the primes of her life."  OS Dec 5, 1914 3:5-6
