November 4, 1840 - "It is with feelings of deep regret that we announce the death of Mr. Rozel Bailey, one of the earliest and most respectable inhabitants in this county. As he was returning homewards on the 23d ult. with a two-horse team loaded with heavy iron castings for a saw mill, the horses, in the neighborhood of "Daggett's Hollow" ran off, Mr. Bailey, it seems, was sitting up on the wagon when it broke to pieces, and no doubt was dragged a considerable distance before the horses became disengaged from the fragments of the wreck. The body was taken up a short time after, but the vital spark had fled to Him who gave it.
The remains, on the Monday following, were followed to the grave by a large concourse of citizens who seemed deeply affected by the melancholy catastrophe, which has taken from our society a worthy member and much beloved neighbor."
