HENRY BAILEY: Singleton Argus Death of Henry Bailey In our last issue it was eluded to serious illness of Mr. Henry Bailey an esteemed resident of Singleton and expressed the hope that a change for the better might ensue. Unfortunately that hope, as with other hopes in the world was nor realised. The condition of the gentlemen alluded to had been sufficiently serious to cause a consultation between Dr. Bowman, the attending physician and Dr. Maffey, and but faint hopes were entertained of the recovery of the patient. The relatives of the deceased, when the case assumed a serious nature, were hastily summoned, to the bedside and they did not hesitate to answer the call. 3. iv.
