June 11, 1889 - Part of an article on the heavy flood damage in Tioga County. "Mr. Thomas H. Bailey, of Mansfield, lost 300,000 feet of hemlock and 100,000 feet of basswood and hardwood lumber, besides a lot of stovewood. This, together with the loss of his saw-mill, pattern-shop and foundry, is a heavy blow to Mr. Bailey."

June 14, 1893 - From an article on various candidates. "Mr. Thomas H. Bailey, of Mansfield, the other nominee for County Commissioner, was born in Charleston. For many years he occupied a prominent position as an enterprising business man in Mansfield, and until by flood and fire he was stripped of the earnings of an industrious life he was too busy to ask for a county office, although he held the office of Burgess in Mansfield for four consecutive years prior to his election as County Commissioner three years ago."

February 12, 1896 - "Last Friday morning as the team and carriage of County Commissioner Thomas H. Bailey was being driven around the corner of Pearl street and Central avenue the wheels slued into a rut and one wheel was shattered and went down, and the occupants of the carriage - Mr. T.H. Bailey and her sister, Mrs. William Hillier, of Harrisburg, and her daughter, Mrs. J.L. Robinson, and the driver George Brown - were pitched out and considerably bruised. No one was seriously injured except Mrs. Bailey, whose back was strained. She has been laid up since, but she is now reported to be improving. The horses were frightened and ran some distance, but no further damage resulted."

December 9, 1896 - "County Commissioner Thomas H. Bailey paid about $5,000 for the Allen hotel property at Mansfield and it is considered a great bargain. In the deal Mrs Jane W. Allen took a house and a lot in Mansfield as part payment. The hotel is rented until the first of April. While Mr. Bailey bought the property as an investment, he may conclude to occupy the place himself in the spring."

From the History of Tioga County, Pennsylvania, 1897.

Thomas H. Bailey was born in Tioga township, Tioga county, December 1, 1839, and is the fourth son of Clark W. Bailey. He was reared on the homestead farm, obtained a common school education, and after attaining manhood he purchased a grist-mill from his father, which he operated until 1889. In 1866 he and his brother, Justus W., bought their father's saw-mill and a few years later they also bought the foundry at Mansfield. A short time afterwards, Thomas H. purchased his brothers interest in both industries, but the mills were swept away by the flood of June 1889, entailing on Mr. Bailey a heavy loss. He purchased several large tracts of timber lands at different periods, some of which he still retains. Mr Bailey was married September 30, 1868 to Josephine Hillier, a daughter of John Hillier, of Larry's Creek, Lycoming county, and has two children, Sarah V., and Henry W. The family are members of the Methodist Episcopal church, and Mr. Bailey is connected with the F.&A.M. and the I.O.O.F. societies. In politics he has been a life-long Republican and one of the local leaders of his party. He was burgess of Mansfield for several years; a member of the council for nine years, and a member of the school board for six years. For eighteen years he was one of the trustees of the State Normal School at Mansfield, in which institution he has always taken a deep interest. In the autumn of 1896 he was elected a county commissioner, and moved his family to Wellsboro the following spring. He was re-elected in the fall of 1893, and served until the close of 1896. He then purchased the Allen Hotel in Mansfield and took charge of that house in April, 1897, of which he is now proprietor.

From the Wellsboro Agitator.

April 1, 1903 - "Mansfield's New Postmaster.
Ex-County Commissioner Thomas H. Bailey received his commission as Postmaster at Mansfield last Thursday evening and he took possession of the post-office on Friday morning. The contest over Mr. Bailey's appointment has been continued since midwinter and it has engendered bitterness which will be lasting in the community. After his recommendation there was a "hold up" on every turn, and two P.O. Inspectors were sent to Mansfield to investigate the case pending the issuing of the commission. Their report was evidently not such as to stop the regular order and Mr. Bailey is now properly commissioned for four years.
There is a sensational report about an altercation and personal encounter between Mr. Bailey and the retiring Postmaster on Friday morning over the obsession of the case and other furniture. Not having the facts at hand, we are unable to give details of the affair or its final adjustment. Anyway, Postmaster Bailey is in charge of the office and we assume that Mansfielders are getting their mail as usual. It was the most bitter postoffice feud ever known in the county."

October 19. 1904 - "FIRE IN MANSFIELD. Hotel Allen Almost Totally Destroyed on Friday. Fireman Did Good Work in Saving Adjoining Buildings - Partially Insured.
The Hotel Allen, located on the corner of Main and Wellsboro streets in Mansfield was almost totally destroyed by fire early Friday morning. The building, a large three story wooden structure was owned by Postmaster and ex-County Commissioner Thomas H. Bailey, who formerly conducted it and until a few days ago was occupied and run by Mr. E.A. Thomas.
Landlord M.S. French, of the Hotel French, of that borough, recently leased the Allen of Mr. Bailey and expected to occupy it soon. How the fire started is a mystery, as the building was unoccupied, having been closed for several days. There had been no fires or lamps in the building during that time.
Mr. Bailey, who occupies rooms near the hotel, discovered the fire shortly after 3 o'clock a.m. He saw flames leaping from the windows on the third floor and hurriedly sent in an alarm. The fireman quickly responded and did good work, but the fire had gotten under such headway before they arrived that the building and contents could not be saved. The adjoining buildings, the rear wing of the hotel and a part of the first story, were saved. The Welt Smith Shoe Company, located next door to the Hotel Allen, removed all the stock from their building, but fortunately the fire was gotten under control before it spread far enough to have damaged it. Part of the stock, however, was damaged by water.
Only two rooms on the lower floor were badly damaged, but the rear of the building and its contents were a total loss, with the exception of the rear wing, containing the dining room and kitchen.
Mrs. T.H. Bailey, who was ill at the time of the fire, had to be carried out of her rooms in the second story of the Miller & Shepard block next door to the hotel. Miss Carrie Holden lost nearly all her furniture and clothing, which was in the hotel at the time. She had no insurance. A Normal student named Jackson became so excited during the fire that he was prostrated by heart trouble, falling to the sidewalk, unconscious. He was taken to the office of Dr. Wood and a few moments later restored to consciousness.
The loss is estimated at about $8,500 with $3,000 insurance on the building and $1,000 on the contents. It is not known at this time whether or not the hotel will be rebuilt. A short time ago Mr. Bailey dropped $1,000 insurance on the building and contents."

October 12, 1922 - "DEATH OF THOMAS H. BAILEY. Former Well Known Resident of Mansfield and Wellsboro Dies. Thomas H. Bailey, aged 82 years, a former resident of Mansfield and Wellsboro and well known through the county, died last Saturday at the home of his daughter in New York City. He had been in feeble health for some time owing to his advanced years, and his death was not unexpected.
Mr. Bailey was born in Charleston, but had spent the greater portion of his life in Mansfield where he was engaged in various business enterprises for several years. He was also the owner of a fine farm on what was known as the "Ore Bed" road.
Mr. Bailey held several responsible positions of trust during his residence in Mansfield - Burgess and member of the Council for several years, member of the School Board and one of the trustees of the State Normal School. He was also postmaster at Mansfield for two terms. In the fall of 1890 he was elected County Commissioner, and moved his family to Wellsboro the following spring. He was re-elected in the fall of 1893 and served until the close of 1896. He then purchased the Hotel Allen at Mansfield and returned to that place to reside. During the past few years, Mr. Bailey had been making his home at intervals with his daughter in New York, where he died, and with his son, Dr. Harry W. Bailey, of Wellsboro.
The deceased was a member of the Mansfield Methodist Episcopal church, the F. & A.M., and the I.O.O.F. The funeral was held at the Methodist church in Mansfield on Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock; interment at Mansfield."

Sketches from History of Cambria County, Pennsylvania by Henry Wilson Storey, 1907.

"Thomas H. Bailey, son of Clark and Vesta (Judd) Bailey, was born December 1, 1840, in Tioga county, and was reared on a farm. He went into the lumber business at Mansfield, where he remained until 1889, when a disastrous fire destroyed his saw mill and planing mill, also his foundry, and the June flood which followed swept away a large quantity of his lumber. In 1897 he opened a hotel in Mansfield, which he conducted until 1900, when he was appointed postmaster of the place, a position which he still retaìns. In 1891 he was elected county commissioner, and in 1894 was re-elected. For fifteen years he served as burgess of Mansfield. He is a Republican, and a supporter of the Methodist Episcopal church. Mr. Bailey married Josephine, daughter of John Hillier, of Jersey Shore, and they are the parents of two children: Sarah, born 1872, wife of John L Robison, of Mechanicsburg; and Harry W., of whom later."

Researcher note: We currently show, based on a Tioga County history, that Thomas was born December 1, 1839. Sketches from History of Cambria County, Pennsylvania by Henry Wilson Storey, 1907, says December 1, 1840. It also contains a small error, stating that his daughter Sarah married John L. Robison. We correctly show John L. Robinson.

From The History of Tioga County, Pennsylvania, 1897.

Clark W. Bailey was born in Tioga Township, Tioga county, January 12, 1806 and was the eldest son of Roswell and Lucinda Bailey. He grew up amidst pioneer surroundings, and attended school in the old-fashioned log school house of early days. When twenty-one years of age he purchased a farm near Whitney's Corners, near Charleston township, and later formed a partnership with R.G. White, erected a large steam saw-mill, and engaged in the lumber business on an extensive scale. In 1857 he removed to Mansfield, where he purchased a grist-mill, and the following year built a water-powered saw-mill, both of which he operated until 1866, when he sold out to his sons, Thomas H. and Justus W. He also owned and operated a foundry in Mansfield, and was one of its most prominent business men for many years. He was instrumental in establishing the Mansfield Seminary, was a liberal supporter of all public enterprises, and an earnest member of the Methodist Episcopal church. On May 13, 1827, Mr. Bailey married Vesta Judd, of Binghampton, New York, to which union were born ten children, as follows. Sara L., Roswell G., Julius M., Wesley V., Thomas H., Emily J., Julia A., Justus W., Clarissa V., and Clark B. Mr. Bailey died at the home of his son, Julius M., December 22, 1881. His widow survives until October 2, 1882, dying at the age of seventy-four years.

December 9, 1846 - "Strayed or Stolen!
From the premises of the subscriber about the first of September last, thirty head of SHEEP, of various marks, some hole in one ear, some slit in the ear, some marked with tar, "J.W." and other marks not recollected, having been purchased of sundry persons, and consequently different marks are upon them. If any person or persons, having taken up said sheep, and will return them to the subscriber, all reasonable charges will be allowed. CLARK W. BAILEY. Charleston, Nov. 25th, 1846."

Researcher note: The next sketch concerns the father of Thomas Bailey, Clark Bailey. We know quite a bit about Clark, too, but there is some useful info here. The list of children conforms pretty much to what we have but does list a son, Chester Bailey. I believe this may be an error as I'm unable to confirm this in any other source. It does, however, list two daughters, but not by name, only by who they married - Julian Langdon and William Hollands. After a good deal of searching, I found that the name Julian Langdon is an error, too. It was actually Ormus Langdon and the Clark Bailey daughter who married Ormus was Julia Bailey. It was Clark's daughter Clarissa Bailey who married William Hollands. We do currently show both Julia and Clarissa as daughters of Clark Bailey.

Sketches from History of Cambria County, Pennsylvania by Henry Wilson Storey, 1907.
