Hilda Bailey, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Bailey of “Flat Hollow, back of Fullerton,” died 20 March 1924. “The girl had been ill since January with appendicitis. Surviving are the parents and six brothers, Ernest, Homer, Walter, William, Gene and Willard. The family formerly lived at New Boston [Scioto County, Ohio]. Funeral services will be held from the home Saturday morning at ten o’clock. Burial will be in School Land Hollow cemetery, New Boston.” The obituary has her name as "Hilden," but the correct name is probably Hilda who was listed as a survivor of Eva Bailey who died in 1916. Source: Obituary, Portsmouth Daily Times, Ohio, Friday, March 21, 1924, Page 19.
