“Before the War Grove and Carl (Carl William Bailey, Bailey -11647) had been inseparable! Close in age, they worked together in the brickyard at an early age, played on the same town baseball team, both where in the Army and saw combat in WWII, When the Family received nonfiction about Carl (Carl William Bailey, Bailey -11647) capture Mom(Maude Louella (Colyer, Bailey Colyer-292 ) became frantic as how Grover was going to act. Mom (Maude Louella (Colyer) Bailey Colyer-292) was afraid that Grover would go off half cocked and try to find Carl (Carl William Bailey, Bailey -11647) on his own”

I don’t have any strong recollections of my Uncle Grover. We had a portrait of what may have been him as a child in our living room. It was there because no one could remember if it was of my Dad (Carl William Bailey, Bailey -11647 ) or his brother Grover. He never visited us, or we visited him although his family had lived in the Port Matilda Pa. area at the time, I had been spending entire summers there. In June 2003, after my Mother’s death I and my younger brother made a special trip to Centre County to ask my Aunt Jackie Jacqueline Francine (Bailey) Johnson, Bailey-12440) about some unspoken family issues. Uncle Grover was one of these. As far as I was aware, my Dad (Carl William Bailey, Bailey -11647) and Uncle Grover rarely to never spoke to each other. However, she told me that before the War (WWII) my father had been very close to his brothers and left it that.
