Lloyd Bailey is Killed By Dynamite Explosion
Lloyd Bailey, 55, of near Spencer, was killed instantly early Tuesday afternoon by a dynamite explosion while blasting trees on his brother's farm southwest of Royal.
The mishap occurred about 12:30 P.M. Tuesday when a charge Bailey had set off went off prematurely. The blast had been set under a tree in the barnyard of the Morris Bailey farm located three miles southwest of Royal.
Lloyd had been helping his brother blast trees at the farm for several days prior to the accident. It is believed that a defective charge caused the premature explosion. Lloyd was working alone at the time of the accident and the only eye-witness to the explosion was C. S. Nordland, a rural mail carrier out of Royal.
The blast showered branches and dirt high into the air and by the time Nordland reached the scene Bailey was dead.
The body was taken to Cobb-Warner Funeral Home in Spencer where funeral arrangements are pending.
A father of seven children, Bailey was engaged as a farmer on land north of Spencer. He had been a resident of Royal and Spencer during his lifetime.
He was born June 19, 1984, near Royal on the same farm where he was killed. He lived on the home farm until his marriage in 1917. He farmed near Royal for three years, then moved to a farm northwest of Spencer.

Notes:

Lieut. Ebenezer BAILEY, brother of Joshua, came to Berlin from Newbury, Mass., as near as can now be ascertained, about 1790, and made a permanent pitch on the East road. His farm contained 300 acres which he mainly cleared.. He was one of the prominent men of his town, and held most of the town offices, and was also an influential member of the Methodist church, and gave liberally for the construction of their first meeting-house. He died on his farm at the age of eighty-seven years. He had a family of thirteen children, several of whom settled in town. His son Ebenezer, born in Berlin May 30, 1796, married Sally BENJAMIN, daughter of Maj. Josiah, and settled on a farm on the opposite side of the road from his father. He was always a farmer and resided in Berlin from his birth to the close of his long life, August 13, I885, aged eighty-nine years. He was the father of ten children, all of whom lived to mature age. Mr. BAILEY was a man of sterling integrity, a good citizen, and obliging neighbor. Ozias B. BAILEY is the only one of his sons now residing in Berlin. He is now a justice of the peace and is engaged in farming.
