Notes:
Mae Bailey is said to have been born in 1888 in her death and burial information.  Her marriage record and census records (except 1930, which suggests a 1900 birth) all agree with the 1893 birth year.

I am not related to the children of Josiah Floyd Bailey and Loni Dale Shrewsberry.  There descendants will not be recorded here.

A third marriage is shown on Find a grave for Josiah.  It is a marriage to Minnie Alice Snuffer.  It would be her 5th marriage.  I have not found any proof of this marriage yet.
