Morris Bailey, M. D.—The
medical history of Dr. Bailey is given under the head of “Doctors of
Medicine,” of Titusville. He was born at Middletown, Connecticut, September
1, 1818, the son of Colonel Richard B. and Hannah (Higby) Bailey, the
seventh born of eight children. He has been married three times, his first
wife bearing, him two children, Emma L., now the wife of Daniel Wilhelm, of
Franklin, Pennsylvania, and Howard, who died in Titusville several years
ago. Dr. Bailey has practiced medicine in Titusville nearly thirty-four
years. He has always seemed to possess unusual keenness of perception in the
diagnosis of disease. He is now past eighty years of age; but he stands
erect, walks briskly with an elastic step and visits his patients with
apparently as much promptness as ever. He has always seemed to love his
professional work. He was a kind husband, and has been an affectionate and
indulgent father. He is a very generous man, and every year he distributes
widely his charities.
