General Notes: Husband - John Wesley Bailie


After acquiring a good public school education, he began the study of law, entering the law department of the University of Pennsylvania, whence he was graduated and authorized to practice at the Pennsylvania bar. He began practice in McKeesport in association with James Evans, who later became his brother-in-law. He was later engaged in practice with John D. Schafer, who subsequently was elected a judge of the court of common pleas, of Allegheny County. In 1883 he formed an association with Frank Thompson, that was only terminated by death. Mr. Bailie was not actively in practice during the later years, but the partnership existed uninterrupted for over a quarter of a century. He was admitted to practice in all state and federal courts of the district, was a member of the National State and County Bar Associations, and was one of the strong men of the Allegheny County bar. While devoted entirely to his profession, for many years he had large outside interests to which in his later years he gave most of his time. He was a director of the First National Bank, of McKeesport, for over twenty years, and vice-president from 1903 until his death in 1910. He was president of the Schoenberger Coal Company, and vice-president of the Tennessee Valley Iron and Railroad Company, and to these his legal learning and executive ability was of incalculable benefit. He was interested in church and charitable work as well, serving the Presbyterian Church as elder and trustee for twenty-five years, and McKeesport Hospital as a director.

With the exception of about four years spent at Rosement, a suburb of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Mr. and Mrs. Bailie spent their married life in McKeesport.


General Notes: Wife - Anna M. Evans


She was a graduate of Vassar College, class of 1868, the first graduating class of that college.
