"Death of Mrs. Wilson Bailey. Mrs. Rachel Riker Bailey, widow of Wilson Bailey, deceased, died Wednesday, April 18, of heart failure, aged 76 years, at the home of her son, Winfield Bailey, on the old homestead in northeast Independence. The deceased was the daughter of John Riker and was born in Big Flats, Chemung county, N.Y., Dec. 31, 1817, came to Michigan and Independence in 1837 and settled on Sashabaw Plains. She married Wilson Bailey in 1840. Associated with Fred Myrick, her husband purchased and cleared up what is now known as Mohopac. They built a saw mill, cutting the timber into lumber much of which was used in Pontiac. The C.A. Palmer house was built by Mr. Myrick, who just after its completion, died of small pox in New York City. Mr. Bailey lived at Mohopac only a few years before his last illness.
After her husband's death Mrs. Bailey lived in Pontiac a few years and then returned to the scenes of her pioneer life, the old home with its sacred recollections, to pass the remainder of her days. Here she died respected by her neighbors and beloved by her children.
Mrs. Bailey leaves three sons and one daughter, Wilson, Winfield and Morris. The late Wallace Bailey was her son. One brother, George Riker of Cass City and Mrs. Wormley, the mother of Mrs. George Alexander, survive her.
The funeral was held at the home and the remains interred by the side of her husband in Sashabaw cemetery. A large concourse of neighbors and friends followed the remains to their last resting place.".
