Bailey and Sarah Thurman This Obit is taken from the History of Benton County, Missouri. It is not word for word. I do not believe I am related to this Bailey. The Bailey in My Bailey's that went to Montana was William Martin Burk Bailey b. 2-1849, in Benton Co. Mo and died in Miles City Montana. But I hope this helps someone. Robert E. Bailey died at the age of 92. He was a former resident of Benton County living in Billings, Mt. He did in 1956. Mrs. Ada Blanchard of Warsaw was the only surviving member of a (Bailey ) family of eight children. Their parents were J.H. (Uncle Jim) and Sarah Thurman Bailey. "Uncle Jim " came to Benton County in a covered wagon from Ky when he was just about four years old back in 1834. His family settled on came to be known as the Luther Sledd Place, south of Warsaw, Mo. They first made their home in a covered wagon and later they built a cabin. He later used the cabin as a workshop, after their home was built. J.H. "Uncle Jim" died in 1896, at the age of 66. = Jeanette Bailey= Live, Laugh, and Love jbailey148@comcast.net ==== SOUTH-CENTRAL-KENTUCKY Mailing List ====
