NOTED SCHOLAR, ORATOR
Practiced Medicine and Surgery
in County Since Fall of 1864
Dr. l'ranci Alouzo Bailey, noted
pioneer physician and surgeon,
died at hi home on Second and
Baseline, Jan. 23, 1020, at 11:30
a.' m., alter an illness ol six days.
Dr. Bailey practiced hi profes
sion up to the Saturday prior,
w hen he wa stricken by piieumo
ma mul taken Home. lie was
born in Hardeman Co., Teiin.,
Jan. 2H, 1 .')!, and at dentil lack
ed but live days of reaching his
811 Vear. He wa
of
Win. L. ami Mary Wilkinson Bai
ley, and was a grandson of (ien.
Frank Wilkinson, of the War of
1812. He 'received hi early ed
ucatiuli at Woodland Academy
and Lebanon College, in Tennes
ec, ami wiicii 17 year ot age
went to St. Louis, where lit took
a medical course in Pope's Col
lege of Physician ami Surgeons
He received his degree and w hen
the Civil War broke was a Cadet
in the Hospital service with Gen
Price's Army in the Confederacy,
but never took the Confederate
oath. In 1, Sot- he took a position
a surgeon with the Hudson Hay
Co., on a steamer miming up tin
.Mississippi ana .Missouri. upon
reaching Montana he left the ser
vice of the company and started
across country for Oregon, arriv
ing in Washington County, Octo
her 20 of that year. He went to
the M. M. Watts donation nbov
r ore si urove, on tiales, going
there because he accompanied a
friend of the Watt' across the
Rocky Mountains.
In the Fall and Winter of64-5
he taught school in Scifggin Val
ley, a reservation to his contract
being that he could answer medi
eat calls. His practice prew to
such an extent that at tin: expira
tion of hi term he quit teaching
While in charge of the school hi
met Mis Letitia A. Chambers
who was visiting the Scoggins
and they were married at the
home of the bride's parents, Mr
ami Air. J. . Chamber, at
v est Union, in 1 80(1.
In 1870 he took a post gradu
aie course ai Willamette univer
1- I tl'll IT,
sity, and 1871 received hi degree
from Toland College, later know n
as the Cooper Medical Collt'ge, at
San Francisco, and subsequently
being the medical department of
Stanford University.
In pioneer days Dr. Bailev
practiced all Over the county, ami
a the roads were mere trail
much of his riding was on horse
back, and he carried his medicine
cases with him in saddle bag
Many times he found it necessary
to swim bis horse or make a raft
in order to cross stre : ms. as
bridges were very infrequent.
Dr. Bailev was scholarly far
beyond the average of his gener
ation, and kept up his wide range
of reading until he was stricken
He was (in orator second to none
and was easily the equal of th
noted Cil.-K. D. Baker. In early
days there was none who would
meet him in public discussion of
political questions. He atlilial
with the democratic parly, all!)
the district was the opposite
politics. Possessed of a wonder
ful mind, eloquent in expression
of his knowledge, had he for
saken medicine for the political
arena he would have made bis
mark in the economic field. Few
people know thit he threw away
a chance to be the Governor of
Oregon. When the late Col. T.
R. Cornelius ran for chief execu
tive, Dr. Bailey received many
telegrams from over the state,
. .,:'! ' 1!':. ! ,vif-',. j
f V ; ' i
asking him to be the democratic
candidate, Kven Portland, want
ing a Washington County man to
run, consented to support him in
the convention. After a day' de
liberation, Dr. Bailey decided to
stay with medicine. "A much
an I would like to serve my adopt
ed stale," lies said, "I feel that my
duty is with my profession, and I
would not break away from a ca
reer that I have selected and
love." Gov, Pennoyer was named
and elected.
He quietly and generously gave
to charity and in this respect nev
er let his one hand know what
the other gave. He wa modest,
unassuming, yet in all respect n
positivist. He treated the ill of
hundreds knowing hi: could never
be paid for hi service
He was a contributor to mauv
medical journals, ,-tiul had served
as president of the State Medical
Society; wa Regent of (). A. C. ;
mil been Mayor of Hillsboro, and
was instrumental in securing the
aruej-it' Library; served a a
school director a number of limes,
and wa noted for his public spir
it anil pride in community.
In 1881 he joined the Masonic
idge, wa Master a uuinber of
times, and also represented the
lodge in the Grand Body. He is
survived by hi. widow and the
tdlow ing children :

exactly 80 days later, averring
that the newlv wedded wife con

insulted him; called him vile
names and epithets too obscene
to put in the complaint; refused
to cook his meals, and told him
to "cook hi. ow n," and generally
made life burdensome. He wants
