John W. Bailey Dead - President of the Philadelphia Record Publishing Company
Philadelphia. John W. BAILEY, president of the Record Publishing Company, died at his home here of neuralgia of the heart. He was taken ill last November at Los Angeles, Cal., while on a pleasure trip. Upon his return home the attack became serious, and he had been confined to his bed most of the time since January.
Mr. BAILEY was in his 67th year. He was born at Baileytown, N.J., and came to this city at an early age. He learned the printer's trade and when the Record was established in 1870, he was made a foreman of the composing room.
After the late William M. SINGERLY secured control of the Record, Mr. BAILEY was appointed managing editor of the paper, which position he retained until he died.
