22 JOHN,4 (John,3 Joshua,2 Jacob1) b. Jan. 30, 1822. Farmer on Jefferson Hill till 1869, when he rem. to Wells River and engaged in business. Was Auctioneer, Deputy Sheriff and Sheriff. Prominent in town and county business : Postmaster, Director in Newbury National Bank, Director and President of Wells River Savings Bank, Town Representative, 1870-71, 1884, Senator, 1886. Mr. Bailey has had an unusual experience as sheriff. His first exploit was the capture of Levi Fickett, who forged an indorsement on a thousand dollar draft. He was taken in Boston, but the requisition papers were defective, and Mr. B. had to make two trips to Vermont to have thein made right. He held the man, however. Later, he was sent to Rome, N. Y., for two men, whom he secured, after a legal fight. On the morning of July 6, 1875, a telegram was received at Wells River, stating that the Barre bank had been robbed, four men entering the house of Mr. King the cashier, and forced him to open the bank, and that two suspicious men had crossed Piermont bridge. Mr. Bailey at once took a train for Plymouth, and at Rumney two men came on board. One of them, finding that he was watched, jumped from the train. Mr. Bailey had the train stopped, and after three hours' search found the man and took him to Barre. The other man, George E. Miles, escaped from the train. The third man, Joe Kingsland, alias Joe Tyson, was arrested by Mr. B. on the 27th of August, after a search of 23 days, but, as he was wanted to serve a term of eight years at Sing Sing prison, he could not be brought to Vermont. On the 5th of September Mr. B. arrested Miles in New York City, and after a two weeks' legal fight, brought him to Vermont, where he served out a fourteen years' sentence in states prison. The fourth man was not taken, although Mr. B. spent several thousand dollars in search for him, but the banks declined to furnish more funds in the search. This exploit gave him a great reputation for daring and skill. Mr. Bailey has rendered most efficient service in securing the publication of this history of Newbury. He m.
