Jim attended Judge Memorial Catholic School from kindergarten through 12th grade. After high school graduation, he attended the University of Utah without much motivation or success.

With the threat of being drafted into the Army during the Vietnam War buildup in 1965, Jim enlisted in the Air Force for 4 years. During this time, he was stationed at Stewart AFB, Newburgh, NY, for 3 years, and at Bien Hoa Air Base, Vietnam, for 1 year. His job title was Information Specialist. While at Stewart AFB, he wrote hometown stories and prepared radio spots for enlisted men and officers stationed at Stewart.

In Vietnam, during 1968, Jim's job title was Combat News Reporter, which permitted him free access to fly on 11 combat missions and write stories on the pilots and crew on these missions. The latter part of his service in Vietnam, he was the 3rd Combat Fighter Wing Historian. Two of his quarterly histories were judged to be best in the Pacific Air Force (7th Air Force).

Upon discharge (Feb 1969), he returned to Salt Lake, where Jim attended the University of Utah, majoring in Civil Engineering. He graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in June 1971 (GPA of 3.86/4.0).

On a full scholarship, he attended the University of Illinois at Champagne-Urbana from Sep 71 to Jan 73. During this time, he was a part time research assistant. He graduated with a Master of Science Degree in Structural Engineering and a GPA of 5.0/5.0) in Feb 73.

Jim started work part time for E.W. Allen & Assoc., a consulting structural engineering firm in Salt Lake City, in March 1971. Except for a short time, from Sep 74 to Mar 76, when he worked for H.C. Hughes Company, he has worked continuously for E.W. Allen & Assoc. He became a partner in 1977. The company name was changed to Allen & Bailey Engineers in 1990.

His significant projects as a structural engineer include the Eaton Tower, Skaggs Catholic Center, Salt Palace Expansion, Bridge over the Green River near Vernal, Westminster College Giovale Library, and the Cathedral of the Madeleine Seismic Retrofit. His most significant project, for which he has received numerous awards for engineering excellence, is the Restoration, Seismic Retrofit, and Base Isolation of the historic Salt Lake City & County Building (built in 1890). This was the first historic building in the world to be Base Isolated. This technique entails placing the entire structure on rubber seismic isolation bearings, such that the building is isolated from damaging earthquake ground motions.

He is past State of Utah Uniform Building Code Commissioner, and is presently serving as Commissioner on the Utah Seismic Safety Commission. He also serves as a member of the Salt Lake City & County Building Conservancy Use Committee, and is a member of the Murray City Board of Appeals.

(1881 - 1955)

My father, Nephi Bailey, was born in Whittle, Derbyshire, England, 9 [or 19] November 1846 and came to America as a young man. Mother [Annie Eva Mackelprang] was born in Denmark, 3 October 1855 and came to America as an infant. They were among the first settlers of San Juan County, Utah.

I was born at Bluff, Utah, 13 December 1881, and we moved to what is now Monticello, San Juan County, Utah, when I was seven years old. I remember helping my brothers drive the milk cows, but our white burro couldn’t carry us all, so some of us walked.

Our first home in Monticello was a one room log cabin with a dirt roof, which leaked when it rained and for several hours after the storm.

Many herds of deer roamed the country in early days. A man who owned a store there began buying the hides from the Indians. The hides of little fawns for a stick of candy, and as a consequence, thousands were slaughtered. I remember too the Indians bringing in venison (deer meat) and selling a hind quarter for a quart of flour and deer became quite scare until the government protected them later.

What is now wheat and grain fields, also bean fields, was grass land, no sage brush, and could be mowed with a mowing machine and used for hay in winter.

Monticello’s first schoolhouse was a log building built by Latter-day Saint people and was used for a school, church and amusement hall, with the customary bell tower that gave warning when it was school or church time. Eight grades were given here. Some boys, for fun, hung a bottle on the tower, and one day a bunch of drunken cowboys came in while school was in session and decided to see if they could hit the bottle with their .45 revolvers. A young teacher from Salt Lake City and all the students were very much frightened and were very happy when one of the cowboys broke the bottle and rode out of town without hurting anyone.

My early years were carefree and happy, school in the winter, dancing, riding horses, learning how to rope and ride calves just for fun, working on father’s homestead and watching the milk cows from straying off with some of the wild cattle.

San Juan County at this time was the home for great herds of cattle and cowmen from far and near. Being so far from the railroad, many outlaws found a good hiding place there as well as good honest citizens.

My father, a shoemaker by trade, made boots for these cowboys, so I knew them all. They had the best horses they could get by buying or stealing them, and as I learned to ride early, they would hire me for their jockey on the fourth of July or other celebrations. There was quite a rivalry between the cowboys and townboys in horse races, but usually cowboy horses won because they had better horses; how I loved the winning and beautiful horses.

When we reached a certain age, my mother and we celebrated our birthdays. She gave each of her boys a heifer calf, and it was a real celebration for us.

The Latter-day Saints was the only religion in Monticello in early days. The President of the Church called the members to settle there, so the few families there all took their part in the organizations and believed implicitly in doing our share. I was active in Primary, Sunday School and Mutual as long as I was home. As there were ten boys in our family and as soon as the eighth grade was finished, we went on our own to help the family.

I finished the eighth grade about 1899. Our teacher was the most beautiful penman I have ever known. Then I too went to work.

For some reason, the fellow who owned the store across the street from my childhood home was not liked by the cowboys, and they often came into town shooting through the door of the store and even rode their horses inside, when they shot things off the shelves. As they came out they would tie the end of a bolt of calico to their saddle horn and unwind it as they galloped up the street and out of town.

When a bad drought came and finally the law came in, most of the big cattle herds were taken out and sheep brought in to take their place, mostly owned by outlaws but many respectable people who stayed on and helped develop the country with the L.D.S. Church.

About 1900 my brother (J. M.) and I decided we would move sheep camp and punch cattle (as they call taking care of cows in cowboy language), which we did for the sum of $35.00 per month, which was top wages. One of us would work while the other looked after our small bunch of cattle, beginning with the two heifer calves Mother gave us. There were many wild cattle in this large rough country, some lived and died without ever being branded, and as a consequence many got into the cattle business who otherwise would not have done so. Mavericks (those without any brands) could be appropriated by most anyone able to catch and brand them, the best thing needed: a fast horse and a sure hand with a rope. To this day I never branded a neighbor’s animal though I have been in the cattle business all my life, sometime out also, either by choice or not by choice but by necessity. For instance, 11 November 1918, when the Armistice was signed, I was in Kansas City with carloads of cows and got back home with absolutely nothing. You could hardly give them away.

About this time I had a call to go to Provo and take a missionary course at what then was Brigham Young Academy. [Julius was ordained an elder on 27 October 1903 in the Monticello Ward.] I left everything with my brother Rone and went to Provo. I finished the course but was never called on a mission. I don’t know why to this day. That was the last of my schooling.

I still kept on adding to my bunch of cattle until my brother decided to get married and we dissolved partnership, but we had accumulated about 150 head by now.

One summer I was moving sheep camp for Harry Green when a couple of young kids came by camp on their way to Arizona, with a bunch of fine saddle horses. It was on the Blue Mountain, west of Monticello. I got word to the Sheriff and led him and some others to camp. One of the fellows was out hunting deer, they had felt safe enough there and were resting the horses for a few days, the other was sitting on his bed roll and as soon as he saw us he knew what had happened. He began shooting, but they captured him. The other boy never came back but in trying to find his way around the mountain got lost and was picked up many miles from there later by some cowboys. He was almost starved but stood trial for stealing.

During the 1890’s I recall working for the K-1 cattle company on their winter range in Montezuma Canyon. In the winter time the only human beings I saw for weeks would be an Indian or two. They were friendly Indians, though we had trouble with "Posey" and some of them later.

In April 1908 [18 April 1908], I married my childhood sweetheart, Ruth Perkins, after many breakups. She was away at school and other places a great part of the time after we graduated from the eighth grade together, though I think both of us knew we would marry all the time.

As I think back over my life I realize how much early environment and habits mold your future.

I always had a desire to move around fast, and as the horse was the fastest mode of travel then, I always was interested in good fast horses and still am. I think one good horse I called Bullet was quite an item in winning my wife over to my side. If I didn’t know better I would think she had Gypsy blood in her veins. We have always been lovers of outdoor life. Especially horseback trips, whether a day or month made no difference to us. Our home life was a happy one just so we were all together. Because of my cowboy life I was still required to spend a good part of time on the range alone, and my wife says I was never socialized. I am still not much for society though I have some of the best friends a man could have and like to be with them.

But our Spring Creek home in San Juan County, Utah was what we all loved and pretty much filled our lives.

As our three children grew older, Marvel, Max E. and Loile J., all helped. We worked hard, loved each other and did well. The boys began going with me on the range when they were about seven years old. We would leave at sun up and maybe get back at sundown during the time they were out of school.

I think the experience as a cowgirl in Marvel’s life came in the winter of 1919. We missed the flu epidemic in 1918, but as schools were closed this year again I decided to take the family and go on the winter range in Dry Valley. The deepest snow on record fell that winter, and feed was short. I had gathered a number of cattle and put them on a mesa about six miles from our camp preparatory to bringing them in and feeding them hay and grain. Marvel went with me to bring them in. We had them about gathered when I began to fall sick. I knew I had the flu. It was cold, so we turned them loose and with her leading the way, we managed to get to camp before dark where for the next few weeks I had about the only serious illness of my life. Our cabin was comfortable, and we were together.

We still have cattle in a small way. To my way of thinking, agriculture and livestock is the biggest gamble on earth. Max and I are still at Spring Creek. Loile is assistant manager of Utah Farm Production Credit Association, and we all love it including Buck (Jerome Clyde Smith), Marvel’s son, and Ruth, his grandmother. Max has always stayed at the ranch, and I think he will never leave until we sell it. It’s really too small for all of us to make a living, but we all have an interest in it. Without Max we could not have held it together. Marvel lives in Arizona.

I have "swapped lies and brushed shoulders," as they say, with outlaws in early days as they passed through to the northern cattle country, nearly always with a bunch of saddle horses, the ownership of which was a big question mark.

For the past two years my wife and I have traveled in the south, mostly to Mexico, and in 1939 went to San Francisco Fair and then the northwest, sometime by ourselves and again with friends. With the exception of about five years in Arizona and California, we have spent our lives in San Juan County, Utah.

Mary recalls in 1998:
I am the fifth child and the first daughter in a family of six children.
I was born on February 7, 1954 in Salt Lake City, Utah. We were educated
in Catholic schools. I think the education was good, the setting sometimes
strict and forbidding (and sometimes hilarious). I attended St. Mary of
the Wasatch High School (an all girls school) for two years before the
diocese combined St. Mary's and Judge Memorial High School (an all boys
school) into one school. I graduated from Judge Memorial in 1972 and then
moved to Spokane, Washington where I attended Gonzaga University for a
year. I then moved to Seattle and worked there for a year and a half. I
grew up a great deal during that time. I learned independence and how to
support myself. I want to add here that I spent a number of years before
and after those times working for my Dad. I think he has influenced the
way I approach work and life a great deal and I am indebted to him for the
work experience and his patience among other things.

With my parents' financial help, I attended the University of Utah and
graduated in 1978 with a degree in psychology. I went back to school after
some time away to get a graduate degree in educational psychology. I
received my master's degree in that area in 1984.

In 1980, while attending graduate school, I married Spencer Mark Adams. My
son, Spencer Calder Adams, was born on November 20, 1981, and he
immediately became the best thing that ever happened to me. I divorced my
husband in 1985 and legally changed my name from Bailey-Adams back to
Bailey. I bought a condominium and have lived there with my son, Cal, to
the date of this writing.

I have been a telephone crisis counselor, a prison inmate counselor, a high
school counselor, and a dishwasher among many things. I hope, though, that
the best in employment and in life is yet to be.

I love my son, my parents, my brothers and sister, muchos nieces and
nephews and my first grandniece, music, animals, computers, and life most
of the time. I'm a very disorganized person with pretensions to
organization. So far things have always worked out in the end.

bullet Nephi BAILEY (photo) was born on 19 Nov 1846 in Whittle, Glossop, Derby, England. He died on 2 Jul 1925 in Monticello, San Juan Co., Utah. He was a Shoemaker.
On 9 (or 19) November 1846, Amelia Read Bailey gave birth to an infant son in New Mills, Derbyshire, England. Amelia had joined The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in 1846, following her husband Henry Bailey, who had joined the church four years earlier and who was then a missionary in the Manchester Conference. Likely in celebration of their new-found faith, they named their son Nephi, after the ancient patriarch in the Book of Mormon.

New Mills was a manufacturing district in northern Derbyshire, approximately 170 miles from London. Nephi learned the shoemaking trade from his father, Henry, who in turn had learned to be a shoemaker from his father, William Bailey.

In London, Nephi was baptized and confirmed a member of the L.D.S. Church on 16 November 1861 and then ordained a deacon on 2 April 1864 by his father Henry. On 14 July 1868, Nephi left England on the ship Colorado. Upon his arrival in Utah, he obtained work in one of the construction camps organized by Brigham Young under contract from the Union Pacific Railroad. Nephi was present at Promontory Point on 10 May 1869 when the last spike was driven joining the transcontinental railroad from east to west. Nephi then returned to his old trade of shoemaking.

Within a few years, Nephi left Ogden and settled in Cedar City, Utah. There on 4 September 1873 he married 17-year old Annie Eva Mackelprang, who was the daughter of Peter Mackelprang and Margaret Sorenson, Danish converts to the church. Three and one-half years later, on 16 March 1877, Nephi was ordained an Elder and Annie and Nephi were sealed to each other in the St. George Temple.

For the first seven years of their marriage, the family stayed in Cedar City, living in the city during the winter and during the summer staying on Cedar Mountain to work in a dairy, raise a garden and enjoy the clear spring water. In Cedar City Nephi was active in music (assisting Joseph Coslett in a well-known male quartet and serving as a choir leader) and dramatics (taking part in a dramatic club that specialized in "plays of the better class").

In May 1880, just months after the original "Hole in the Rock" expedition first settled Bluff in San Juan County, Nephi and Annie moved with their three young children (Peter, Henry and Moroni) from Cedar City to Bluff. The journey took a month and required the party to take apart the wagons and move them a few pieces at a time across the Colorado River at Lee’s Ferry.

On 6 October 1880 in the St. George Temple, Nephi and Annie had their two oldest children, Nephi, Peter, and William Henry, sealed to them.

While at Bluff, a son, Julius Mackelprang, was born on 13 December 1882. Life was difficult: the river and well water were bad and Annie was concerned about the Indians (who on one occasion tried to buy her son Moroni).

Eight years later, in 1888, the family moved again, and Nephi became one of the original pioneers to settle Monticello. The initial settlement in 1887 had run into conflict with the cattle ranching operations of Edmund and Harold Carlisles’ Kansas and New Mexico Cattle and Land Company and the L.C. outfit. The San Juan stake president, Francis A. Hammond, called additional men from Moab, Bluff and Mancos, Colorado to build homes and construct a town. "Private homes and a meetinghouse arose from the sagebrush flats, while the irrigation ditch snaked its way across the flats to water the crops. A rudimentary livestock and agricultural economy blossomed." (McPherson)

The family’s first home was a one room log cabin with a dirt roof that leaked when it rained. Nephi was active in the affairs of the town and San Juan County, which was home to a large cattle industry. Nephi continued his work as a shoemaker, and his son Julius remembered his making boots for the cowboys.

Nephi and Annie had eleven children:

Nephi Peter, William Henry and Joseph Moroni were born between 1874 and 1879 when the family lived in Cedar City.

Julius Mackelprang, Angus Mackelprang (who was drowned shortly before his second birthday) and Margaret Sophia were born between 1881 and 1887 after the family had moved to in Bluff.

Margaret Sophia, Jesse M., Alvin M., Victor M. and Elmer M. (twins) and Ralph Arthur were born between 1890 and 1899 after the family’s final move to Monticello.

The couple also adopted Thelma Pointer Bailey, a girl born in 1902 in Colorado.

In 1896, at age 49 and the year that the state of Utah was admitted to the Union, Nephi was called to serve a mission for the L.D.S. church in Great Britain. He left behind his wife and a family of nine children. Traveling to Salt Lake City, Nephi was set apart in the Temple Annex by President Seymour B. Young. Nephi was assured that he had been called "under the inspiration of [the Lord’s] divine spirit"; was "endowed with power from on high that [he could] go forth trusting in the Lord"; was given "power over the winds and the waves and over wicked men"; was admonished to be "pure in mind and in person"; and was promised that every blessing that he desired before the Lord would be his.

Nephi served for 20 months in the Lancaster District. Experiences recorded in his missionary journal include:

The baptism of two young ladies and a boy.
Speaking for 35 minutes and telling the crowd "that they do not believe in the same order of Priesthood that constitutes the organization of the primitive church; they have no apostles and prophets."
Teaching Bible classes.
Holding mutual improvement meetings.
A musical society sending him a "plump" $10.00, making $25.00 he had received from the people of Monticello since Christmas. "It shows people are thinking of me."
Trying to decide if he should go tracting in the rain. "I feel I am not doing enough when I consider what sacrifices are being made at home to supply me with money."
Going to town on market day: "Here are flowers in abundance and oranges, green stuff such as cabbage and coleyflowers, radishes and onions was on the market, also cattle and fowles of all kinds."
Studying the dreams of "Nebuchadzzar," Daniel and the three Hebrew children and spending "a long time finding who was the founders of Jerusalem."
Reporting that Annie Gerard had "left her home. Her parents have been very unkind to her. Her father has thrashed her several times and her family has been hard on her because she believes in the Gospel as taught by the Latter Day Saints."
"Bro. Osler is sick. I administered to him last night. He has just come down stairs and feels some better."
"I gave out 112 tracts today; return home tired."
Going to a fair ("There is many snares laid for the young in such a fair as this.")
Being challenged by the presiding elder after Nephi had baptized four persons; had Nephi received the proper approvals.
"In the evening we had a fine outdoor meeting on the Market Place at Wigan. There was 4 young men and 5 Elders. We had our silk hats and drew lot of attention. I was the first speaker. I preached to the people to hear us and believe that we were desirous of doing them good."
At a later meeting: "I spoke perhaps ½ hour to a very intelligent congregation that listened to me with rapt attention. There is something particularly fascinating in talking to an outdoors congregation. You seem to be put on your mettle. The Elders said I spoke well and straight from the shoulder."
News of the Spanish American War filling the air.
Singing a song for Brother Hammond’s farewell.

On 20 September 1897 Nephi’s 87 year old father, Henry, had written him a letter with news of friends at home and requests that Bailey relatives be looked up in England. At the end of his missionary service, Nephi requested a transfer to the Manchester District (the same district in which his father had served nearly 50 years earlier) to discharge the duty. Nephi’s journal is filled with reports of visiting cousins, looking up sextons’ records and going to cemeteries. He comments on the "grass, trees and blossoms and birds and flowers" and wishes that his family was there with him. He wrote "I see farms and fields and meadows gay / While in the distance far away / Flocks in spiritive groups / A simple limped lake in sunbeams tremble."

Annie took in boarders to help support the family while Nephi was gone. Nephi writes tenderly in his journal, "My dear old partner is not well. She has too much work and worry, poor old soul, I shall be glad when I can be back to lighten some of her burdens." By correspondence, father and mother shared the burdens and joys of rearing children:

A son who "is as unstable as water. It would be much pleasanter if he would be more thoughtful, but he makes promises and breaks them at will. He likes to ride and that is all. Poor boy, he don’t know how much trouble he is making for us."
A wife who was "troubled in her mind because the boys do not do as they ought."
Having "a muddled up dream last night. I thought Julius was in some trouble of some sort, sick or an accident."
Of receiving a letter from his "little daughter" and sending some flower seeds back to her.
"My wife is about tired of being alone with that large family, and I know it must be quite a trial. She has managed to keep the house together and done fine in both management as well as teaching and giving council and advice to the boys, and I appreciate her and hope to be able to ease up her burdens before long. O how the bells are ringing this morning. They have a strong delightful sound. May the Lord give comfort and courage to my wife and may the family be kept from harm and challenges. O boys, you are wayward, but I hope you may always retain the faith of the Gospel."

After returning from his mission in 1898 (sailing home from Glasgow on the ship Furnessia), Nephi was ordained a seventy by Rudger Clawson (Monticello Ward records) and then a high priest on 15 June 1899 by John Henry Smith (family group record).

Journal entries in February 1898 record typical days for Nephi after returning from his mission:

"I spend some time in the Shoe Shop mending and making."
"The boys went down to the Vega and got a load of hay."
"Today I work in the Shop and marry a couple from Delores, Colorado, and the evening we have Choir practice, and I talk to the Choir. They seem to think I am the most suited to be their leader and so express themselves."
"I finished a pair of boots and sent them down to Bluff."
"I spend the evening at home."
"The day is spent in fixing up around the premises."
"I and family go to Sunday School and afternoon meeting. I am called upon to preach and get warmed up a little."

Within five months after returning from his mission (February 1898), Nephi was elected as a justice of the peace in Monticello. He continued to hold the office in 1908, which allowed him to perform the marriage ceremony when his son Julius was married to Ruth Perkins.

For a number of years, Nephi served as superintendent of the Monticello Sunday School (1925 obituary). He also served two terms as mayor of Monticello (1925 obituary).

Nephi "was always working," his obituary records. "Even up to the day before he died he was putting [in] 8 and 9 hours per day. About midnight he woke and complained of a pain in his chest which grew steadily worse. [His wife] called a physician who held out little hope for him." Nephi died at his home in Monticello on 2 July 1925, at 78 years of age. At the time of his death, he was chairman of the Pioneer Association (1925 obituary).

bulletRichard Leverich BAILEY (photo) was born on 3 Feb 1942 in Salt Lake City, Salt Lake Co., Utah. He received a degree of MBA Degree in 1983 from University of Rochester, Rochester, New York. He was a Corporate Manager & Computer Programmer.
Dick (known as Rich to his family) graduated from Judge Memorial Catholic High School in 1960. He attended the University of Notre Dame for his freshman year of college but returned to Salt Lake to attend the University of Utah the following year. While at the University he joined the Delta Sigma chapter of the Kappa Sigma fraternity.

He dropped out of the University of Utah before graduating but later resumed his education at Rochester Institute of Technology in Rochester, New York. He earned a Masters in Business Administration at the University of Rochester in 1983 and was elected to the Beta Gamma Sigma Honor Society.

Dick was married to Anamarie Enderlin in 1965 and they have two children: Bryan Richard, born in Salt Lake City, Utah in 1966, and Carol Anne, born in Rochester, New York, in 1970.

While attending the University of Utah, Dick worked nights at the Salt Lake City Police Department as a clerk typist where he typed police reports as the policemen dictated them from across the desk. He discovered the statistics department during slow periods in the middle of the night and taught himself how to wire (program) the early model computers that were used to compile police statistics. He was soon promoted to the statistics department, became hooked on computers and decided to make a career of it.

Dick's next move in the world of computers was to the U.S. Air Force Logistics Command (AFLC) at Hill Air Force Base, Utah, where they had "real" computers in addition to the statistical sorters that he programmed for the Police Department. He started work there as a civilian employee at the bottom rung on the ladder in the magnetic tape library. After six months he was promoted into computer operations. After another eighteen months Dick accepted a promotion to computer programmer, a job he had been working very hard to get. The promotion was also important because Anamarie had quit her teaching job to raise Bryan. Dick dropped out of his part time program at the University of Utah at this time.

In early 1968, Dick was recruited to move to AFLC Headquarters at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio. Dick, Anamarie and Bryan (18 months old) moved to Dayton, Ohio. They lived there until 1969 at which time Dick went to work for General Dynamics in Rochester, New York. Dick soon realized that General Dynamics was a troubled company so he sought out and obtained a job with Xerox. Three months after starting work for Xerox, General Dynamics announced that they were closing their Rochester operations.

Dick has been with Xerox ever since. Except for a two-year period from 1985 to 1987 when he worked in Fremont, California, he has been located in Rochester. Although he gave up computer programming to move into management in 1974, he has worked in the management of computer systems for his entire career.

His son Bryan, his wife Rachel (Johnson) and daughter Miren now live in Peebles, Scotland. Bryan works for Oracle, a computer database company where he provides consulting services to multinational customers.

His daughter Carol and her fiance Scott Santmier live in Richmond, Virginia. Carol works for Wheat First Bucher Singer, a brokerage firm, where she sets up back office computer systems in new branch offices, and Scott works for Fort James, a paper company where he does recruiting work for the Human Resources department. They will be married in June, 1998. Anamarie, who is very happy to have never touched a computer, is a bridal consultant at Lindsey's Silver Shop, a shop specializing in silver, china and crystal tableware.

bullet Richard Quinn BAILEY (photo) was born on 16 May 1917 in Monticello, San Juan Co., Utah. He graduated in Jun 1934 from Ogden High School, Ogden, Weber Co., Utah. He received a degree of Associates Degree in Journalism in Jun 1936 from Weber State College, Ogden, Utah. He served in the military 1943 to 1945 in U.S. Army Air Corps: Colorado, Florida, Guam. He resided at 2484 Hartford St. 1947 to 1959 in Salt Lake City, Salt Lake Co., Utah. He resided at 721 McClelland St. 1959 to 1984 in Salt Lake City, Salt Lake Co., Utah. He resided at Brookstone Condominiums, 1677 E. 6485 S. 1984 to present in Salt Lake City, Salt Lake Co., Utah. He was an Advertising Artist in Salt Lake City, Salt Lake Co., Utah.
Dick was the first of 2 children born to Al and Jean Bailey. He lived his early years in the Southeast Utah town of Monticello. Though named Alvin Quinn, his parents and friends always called him Dick. Later, he would have his name legally changed to Richard Quinn Bailey.

When Dick was 7, his brother Bill was born. This was in 1924. In the next couple of years, Dick’s parents fell upon hard times. His father’s latest venture, as a farmer, had turned sour, and he was forced to liquidate his farm. There was also some trouble with local Mormon Church members over other matters, and it became prudent for the family to leave Monticello. Dick was about 9 at the time.

The family first moved to Driggs, Idaho. Dick remembers it well, as this was the first time he had ever seen a train. His dad had already moved to Driggs in order to find a place to stay and save up enough money to send for Jean and the boys. They got a ride with Jean’s brother to Thompson Springs north of Moab, where they caught the train to Driggs.

The job at Driggs lasted only a year. They soon were uprooted and moved to Idaho Falls. This job too lasted about a year. This time Dick’s dad was offered a better job, and the family moved briefly to Ogden.
Dick’s dad was selected to run a grocery store in Delta, which is in central Utah, so the family moved once again. They stayed in Delta for approximately 2 years. By now the Great Depression was firmly entrenched, adversely affecting the economy in Delta. The store had to close, and Dick’s dad was again looking for work.

Al found work once more in Ogden, Utah. He moved his family into a place on Lincoln Avenue and 26th Street, which he rented from his aunt. The house had formerly been owned and lived in by Dick’s great grandfather, William Henry Bailey.

This part of town had since become notorious, being only 1 block from the infamous 25th Street. Union Station was at the head of 25th Street, and, through the years, a number of questionable establishments, including bars and houses of ill repute catering to the railroaders, had burgeoned and blossomed. During this short time living on Lincoln Avenue, Dick got a quick education in the ways of the world. He was about 13 at the time. As soon as Al could afford it, and probably at his wife’s urging, he arranged to move his young family away from this raunchy neighborhood to a better part of town.

For reasons unknown to Dick, the family would move approximately every year to a different part of Ogden. The Depression was in full swing, and it was difficult for Dick’s dad to keep employment. He was lucky to have work at all. At one time Dick remembers the family had to live on apricots from the neighborhood orchard and an occasional starved goose. He also remembers having to get up at 5 to scour Ogden restaurants for garbage. This he would gather to feed the neighbor’s pigs. For this, he was paid 20 cents an hour.

Dick was active in Boy Scouts. He always greatly loved the outdoors, and scouting was a way to pursue this type of activity. Up to this time, Dick was being raised in the Mormon religion by his devout mom. As a boy scout at about age 15, he had achieved a Star ranking, was a Patrol Leader, and would likely have reached Eagle ranking if things had not gone bad for him in his scout troop. It seems that boys, being boys, had removed the pants from another unfortunate scout for laughs. This scout did not see the humor in this prank, so he informed the bishop of the ward. The bishop severely chastised Dick, who as patrol leader was responsible for the actions of his men(?). As Dick had not directly participated in the incident, he felt the chastisement far outweighed his peripheral involvement. This one injustice soured Dick to the local Mormon ward, and he never went back to church after this. Dick never was of a religious nature, and it is likely that he would have drifted away from the fold sooner or later.

Dick applied himself assiduously at Ogden High School. He was a good art student, and also did well in English. He wrote a history of Ogden High School which was a lot of work and greatly impressed his teachers. The teachers arranged to get Dick a scholarship at Weber State College, as well as financial assistance through a WPA program where he would assist his high school art teacher while attending college. The scholarship stipulated journalism as a major, and Dick, at the time, felt that this is where his destiny lay.

At about this time, Dick’s dad got another job with Piggly Wiggly in Green River, Wyoming. Dick decided that it was time to make his own way in life, so he stayed behind to finish high school and attend college. He found a boarding house to stay in, got himself a job at a local department store doing janitorial work, painting signs, selling shoes, and doing window displays. This was in addition to attending college and helping his art teacher as an assistant.

To further his journalism career, Dick got a job for the Salt Lake Tribune while going to school in Ogden to report the local sports scores. For this he received free tickets to the local sporting events in Ogden, but no monetary remuneration. Dick soon realized that his fortunes lay elsewhere in art, and not journalism.

While at Weber College, Dick and a couple of friends started a student newspaper called The Signpost. The name was chosen because they couldn’t afford to print up copies of the paper, so they had to "post" it on the bulletin board. It was rather a loose publication with cartoons that Dick would contribute. To this day, the newspaper, which is still called The Signpost, survives.

Every few weeks, Dick would get homesick and hitchhike up to Green River to see his mom. On one occasion, he ended up stranded for a night in Evanston without any money and very hungry. Fortunately, this lasted only one night, and he was able to hitch a ride the next day.

After a couple of years of college, Dick decided he wanted to move to Salt Lake City. The year was about 1938. Based on his experience at the Ogden department store, he was able to land a job at Rowe’s Department Store, located across from Auerbach’s in downtown Salt Lake, as a window trimmer, shoe salesman, and advertising artist. The Rowe brothers were 2 nice Jewish gentlemen who had a flare for attracting customers. One of their events was Circus Day, where they would have circus acts, monkeys, and other attractions. It was the only place in town where pregnant women felt comfortable shopping, once they began to "show". With his new earnings, Dick was able to buy his first car, a 1935 Dodge for $325.

After a while, Dick took a job at Auerbach’s Department Store across the street from Rowe’s in their art department. In 1940 he bought a new car, a Ford Coupe. At about this time, his family moved to Salt Lake and he moved back in with them. It was also at this time that Dick took a figure study art class and met Marie. His first big move was to offer Marie a ride home during a rain storm in his brand new car. She accepted the ride but, to his chagrin, paid no notice to his car. Marie’s mother was also unimpressed with Dick, who was 23 at the time but looked much younger because of his slight build and boyish appearance. She accused Marie of "robbing the cradle".

After a short 8 month courtship, they were married in Salt Lake. Dick continued to work at Auerbach’s, but freelanced in the evening doing artwork for Paragon Press and Standard Optical. Marie continued her work as personal secretary for the president of a life insurance company. Their first child, Richard, was born in February 1942.

A key move in Dick’s career was steering a major advertising account with the Morning Milk Company toward Dick Harris and Tommy Axelson, who were also just starting out in the advertising business. It turned out to be their first major account, and they would later reward Dick with all of their advertising art work. They both went on to form highly successful advertising agencies. Around this time, Dick was able to quit Auerbach’s and start his own company.

Things soon changed. In the fall of 1943, Dick was drafted into the Army. He was 26 years old, married, and had a one-year-old child. At the same time, his brother Bill was drafted and would become a Marine.

Dick had an opportunity to wait out the war at Fort Douglas as a sign painter. Artists were hard to come by in the military. However, after taking an I.Q. test in which he scored 10 points higher than that necessary to become an officer, he was shown a brochure indicating the many jobs open to him. Dick wanted a flying job, and signed up for training as a navigator.

After going through basic training in Colorado, he was shipped to California, then to Nebraska, and finally to Florida. While this was all going on, the Army Air Corps decided that the war was winding down and they really didn’t need any more officers. Dick’s training was downgraded to that of a noncommissioned officer, trained as an electrician able to rewire a B-29 Bomber if needed. His official assignment on the B-29 was Turret Gunner.

All the good mechanics on B-29’s in those days were assigned to the Pacific. The planes could theoretically fly on only 2 of their 4 engines. As Dick recalls, engine failures were frequent, it was not unusual for his plane to be flying on only 3 engines, and frequently planes, and sometimes crews, were lost in training missions off the coast of Florida. Thus the phrase, "A Plane A Day in Tampa Bay". Dick got to spend a few days in The Big Apple after their plane lost an engine and had to land in Newark on an east coast training mission.

Dick and his crew soon got their orders and flew their B-29 to Guam, with numerous stops for refueling along the way. Fortunately, at about this time, the war ended. Their plane flew over Japan as a "Show of Force" during the signing of the surrender. Unfortunately, many islands around Guam were occupied by armed enemy Japanese forces who were unaware of the signing of the surrender and would take shots at their plane as they flew over.

Soon after the war ended, Dick was discharged and went back to his old job at Auerbach’s. He stayed there long enough to reestablish his own business. Dick and his family, which now included Jim, born in August 1944, lived a couple of years with Dick’s parents until he could save up enough money to buy a house.

They bought their first home on 2484 Hartford Street, in the Sugarhouse area of Salt Lake City. Purchase price was about $9,000. The year was 1948. The house was built from prepared plans, which were modified to suit Dick and Marie’s particular requirements.

The Bailey Family lived at this location for approximately 12 years. During this time, their family grew to 6 children, which included the 4 boys: Rich, Jim, Tom, and John; and the 2 girls: Mary and Liz.

Two of Dick’s favorite summer pastimes was camping and fishing. His favorite winter pastime was skiing. The Bailey kids were beneficiaries of these excursions. All learned to fish and ski.

Other family excursions included train trips to Calfornia, a river rafting trip down the Yampa and Green Rivers, a horse pack trip into the Uinta Mountains, an overnight ski trip to Brighton, and many other memorable vacations, fishing/camping trips, and ski outings.

Dick worked long hours to make his business a success. He had to. Marie was a devout Catholic, and wanted all of her children educated at Catholic schools. With 6 children, this was expensive. In 1959, the family moved to McClelland Street within walking distance of Judge Memorial Catholic High School.

In 1960, Dick and Keith Montague joined forces and formed the advertising art company called Bailey-Montague & Associates. The company thrived. To this day, long after Dick and Monty retired, the company still maintains the same name.

Dick retired in 1983 when he turned 65. Shortly thereafter they sold their home on McClelland Street and moved to the Brookstone Condominiums where they now reside.

Dick and Marie have spent their retirement years traveling around the United States on birding trips, excursions to Southern Utah on weekend getaways, golfing, reading, and coddling the newest addition to their household, a cocker spaniel named Duffy.

The following is an article that appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune, March 13, 1960

Business Portrait

Richard Q. Bailey ... His Art ‘Ads’ Up

No one possesses native talent. It is something forged by desire.

That's Richard Q. Bailey's view, a view he has acquired over 20 years gathering talent for his advertising art studio, Richard Q Bailey and Associates.

If a kid comes in looking for work and shows he has a lot of desire - the kind you work 8 to 12 hours a day seven days a week for - I'll pick him over the one who has a portfolio of pretty pictures," says Mr. Bailey.

Mr. Bailey, perhaps, unconsciously equates talent with the kind of youngster he once was He was one of those kids who spent more time drawing pictures in his notebook than paying attention to teacher.

FRIENDS LIKED WHAT he drew, encouraged him to study art. Unfortunately, Weber College did not offer a course in advertising art. Bu Mr. Bailey worked part time in a department store and learned something of display and advertising.

He ended his formal education after two years in Weber College, came to Salt Lake City and joined the advertising and display department of a department store—for S125 . a month.

AT NIGHTS HE DID freelance work, soon built up a clientele that gave him a rather striking income for the time. In two years he was able to resign from his salaried job and take up the more lucrative business of working for himself. He organized his own studio in 1943 in the Walker Bank Bldg., where he is still situated.

Today the 10-man staff of Richard Q. Bailey and Associates produces about $7,000 worth of business monthly. Varied production includes animated cartoons for television, historic maps, lettering, illustrations for a recipe book, billboard design, slide presentations for sales meetings, even murals.

ESSENTIALLY THE AGENCY produces the art needs. for clients or for the many area advertising agencies. do not have their own art departments.

The future for advertising is bright, contends Mr. Bailey. It has developed rapidly as an art form. It has become entertaining, varied, compelling.

AND THE CHANGE in the past four years has moved swiftly, so much that the tutored eye can see that what was quite up-to-date in 1956 is old-fashioned in 1960.
What's the role of the creative art studio?

The industry is continually swept by trends—new art forms, new techniques for Visual presentation. These are assimilated and perhaps given new expression by the individual agencies.

BUT THE FINAL arbitrator of form and taste is the client. Some clients are flexible, will yield readily to suggestions by studio staffs; some are immovable, have their own notions about what they want to say and how they want to say it.

"You can butt your head against the wall," says Mr. Bailey of the latter kind, "but you don’t butt too long; you’ll lose a client."

ONE IMPORTANT aspect of a modern agency is the experience of the staff. It is important, for example, to know something of many other businesses, to be their spokesmen via visual presentation.

This takes experience and—ideally—a formal education. "I doubt that I could have gotten into the field today with the experience I had when I started," observes Mr. Bailey.

JUST TWO WEEKS ago Salt Lake ad man Keith E. Montague, handy both with the words and the art, joined Mr. Bailey as partner.

"It was among the best moves I’ve ever made," says Mr. Bailey enthusiastically of the new relationship.

Mr. Bailey was born in Monticello, San Juan County. in 1917. When he was nine his father moved to Ogden to work for a chain store. It was the kind of business that kept the Baileys on the move for many years.

HE MET HIS WIFE, the former Marie Leverich of Salt Lake City, when both were studying at the WPA art center. They were married in 1940.

In 1943, just three months after starting his own business, Mr. Bailey enlisted in the Army Air Force, ended up as a turret gunner on a B29 in the Pacific.

His combat days were scarcely dramatic, he recalls. The war was nearing an end, and not a single Zero nor blast of flack threatened his craft. His most dangerous moment: U.S. anti-aircraft gunners once fired bursts about the plane when it didn’t identify itself.

THE BAILEYS HAVE six children: Richard, 18; James 15; Tom, 12; John, 7; Mary Jo, 6, and Elizabeth 2. Parents: Alvin L. BAILEY and Leona Jean WALTON.

He was married to Marie Hylda LEVERICH on 21 Dec 1940 in Salt Lake City, Salt Lake Co., Utah. Marie and Dick met at the Salt Lake Art Center in Reservoir Park, Salt Lake City. They were both enrolled in a figure study art class.

Dick joined the war effort after Richard was born. Jim was born while he was stationed in Florida. Marie and the 2 children lived with Dick's parents near 39th S. & 5th E. while Dick was in the military and for a couple of years thereafter.

They bought their first home, which Dick designed, at 2484 Hartford St. near Sugarhouse in 1948 where they lived until 1959. With 6 kids, they needed more space and wanted to be closer to Judge Memorial, so they moved to 721 McClelland St. They lived at McClelland St. until Dick retired in 1982. In 1983, they moved to their present home in the Brookstone Condominiums in Holladay.

Bailey is an English occupational name for a steward or official, from the Middle English bailli = carrier, porter. In Scotland, the bailli is the magistrate and bailiff is a form that has evolved elsewhere. Occasionally, the name is derived as an English Place name from a Middle English word derived from Old French baille = enclosure. In this form it originally meant the person living by the outer wall of the castle, but Old Bailey, a place in Lancashire which formed part of the outer wall of some medieval castle, also became the origin for surname for people from that location. There are numerous variations in many countries, including Baillie (Scotland), Bayless , Bailess, Lebailly (French), Bally (Swiss), Baglione (Italian), and Bailloux (Provencal).
Children were: Richard Leverich BAILEY, James Stephen BAILEY, Thomas Quinn BAILEY, John William BAILEY, Mary Jo BAILEY, Elizabeth Ann BAILEY.

bulletThomas Quinn BAILEY (photo) was born on 14 Mar 1948 in Salt Lake City, Salt Lake Co., Utah. He was a Color Print Processor.
Thomas Quinn Bailey was born coincidentally on his mother’s birthday, 14 March 1948, in Salt Lake City, Utah. Tom graduated from Judge Memorial Catholic High School cum laude with 2 journalism service awards. Tom was very musically inclined and appeared on stage 4 years in a row at the Judge Memorial Christmas talent assembly. He taught music and managed Jack’s Drum and Guitar Shop in Sugarhouse during his high school years.

Tom attended the University of Utah for several years studying mathematics, business, and liberal arts. He was active in the Kappa Sigma Fraternity.

Concurrently he kept up with his musical aspirations and performed professionally in two different groups playing guitar, 5-string banjo, and mandolin as an arranger.

Tom went on to become an accomplished professional photographer working at Stockdale Corporation as reproduction supervisor overseeing among other things custom color printing and motion picture timing. He became an Associate member of the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers (ASMTE) in 1975.

Later he worked at Olympus Media where he performed production services including film editing and cinematography for various clients including the U.S. Office of Education, Mountain Fuel Supply Co., the Utah Travel Council, and Eaton-Kenway Engineering.

In 1979 Tom attempted to start his own business built around industrial still photography. Unfortunately at this time his career took a downturn for health reasons. He was diagnosed during this time with a semi-mysterious inherited mental disease medically described as Bi-Polar I Affective Disorder.

This mental ailment was a serious cause for worry amongst his entire family. After a long period of recuperation that included 2 accidental incarcerations, 13 years of ongoing psychiatric and psychotherapeutic treatment, and above all else the care and love of his family, he was able to attain an SSI disability designation from the Social Security Administration in 1994.

Tom’s short community service retributions included voluntary work at St. Vincent de Paul’s rescue mission, completion of the CAMI program at Valley Mental Health, where he received in 1994 a certificate of completion, equivalent to a Master’s Certificate in Psychology, Psychiatry, and Social Work.

Because of 1997 federal social reform legislation passed on 1 Jan 1997, he is still in an almost universal predicament. Tom is in the appeal process and doing his best to rectify his position, as well as having definite empathy with the fellow citizens of the USA who share his predicament.

He likes to admit if questioned that he wants to put his life back together and "start paying taxes again".

"I’d like to start enjoying my hobbies of refurbishing old furniture, golfing, skiing, dancing, training exotic pedigree animals, reading, music, and as a professional status photographer.

An older sibling once described Tom as an "astrologer extraordinaire". Tom might say, "I appreciate the compliment, Jim, but, to me, astrology is just a part of life, and, just like everything else in life, you have to look at it philosophically." TQB 24 Nov 1997.

bulletWilliam Henry BAILEY (photo) was born on 6 Apr 1814 in Hazel Grove, Cheshire, England. He died on 6 Dec 1901 in Ogden, Weber Co., Utah. He was a Shoemaker.
On 6 April 1815 (alternatively 1811 or 1814) in Hazel Grove, Cheshire, England, Henry Bailey was born to William Bailey and his second wife, Mary Bailey.

Three years later, Amelia Read was born 2 October 1818 in North Crowley, Buckinghamshire, England, the oldest daughter and second of 11 children of William Read and Sarah Brimley.

Henry and Amelia were married on 2 April (or 20 June) 1838; their first child, William Henry, was born 16 October 1838 in Cheshire.

Henry joined The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the Raunds branch of the British Mission on 3 March 1841.

Nearly five years after Henry joined the church, Amelia was baptized on 30 January 1846. At that time, Henry was "commencing to travel and labor in the Manchester conference, and [the family made its] home at New Hills, in Derbyshire, where [Henry] raised up a branch in that town, and represented them in the general conferences.

Following in the footsteps of his father, William, Henry was a shoemaker (a cordwainer); he taught the trade to his son Nephi.

Henry and Amelia were the parents of ten children: five boys and five girls:

· The oldest, William Henry, was born 16 October 1838 in Cheshire (he was lost at sea).
· Sarah Elizabeth (who died as an infant) and Joseph Moroni were born one year apart, on 16 November 1842 and 16 December 1843, in Crawley, Buckinghamshire.
· Another Sarah Elizabeth (who only lived to age three), was born in Bedfordshire in 1844.
· Nephi was born 19 November 1846 in Derbyshire.
· Leonora (14 July 1849), Tryphena (22 September 1851), Alvin (28 January 1856) and Mary Ellen (26 January 1858), were all born in Raunds, Northhamptonshire.
· On 16 May 1858 the Baileys were received into a branch of the London Conference. Their youngest child, John Ezra, was born in London on 22 November 1862.

At the time of the 1851 British Census, the family, with William, Joseph Moroni, Nephi and Lenore at home, were living in the village of Raunds. Henry’s father and mother, William and Mary Bailey, were living nearby in North Raunds.

While in the Raunds branch of the British Mission, Henry Bailey baptized or confirmed several of his wife’s family; ordained one of her brothers a priest; and in 1854 ordained her father, William Read, an elder.

Years later a church leader "spoke of his long acquaintance with Father Bailey and his wife in London for many years, and [said he] always looked upon them as a father and mother through their loving kindness shown to all that had anything to do with them."

Henry and Amelia, with their children Tryphena, Mary Ann and John, emigrated to America from London, leaving on the ship Minnesota on 4 September 1872; they crossed the plains with what Henry later called the "10 pound company" (letter) and settled in Ogden, Utah.

On 10 October 1896, at the age of 78, Amelia died in Ogden "without a moment’s warning" of "neuralgia of the heart" (June 1897 obituary) or "fatty degeneration of the heart" (death certificate). At that time she had a posterity of ten children, 42 grandchildren and four great grandchildren.

At her death Nephi wrote, "She died as she had lived, a faithful Latter-day Saint, a kind and faithful wife and devoted mother, and was beloved by all who knew her." (February 1897 obituary)

Less than one year later, on 20 September 1897, Henry wrote to his son Nephi, who was then serving a mission for the L.D.S. Church in England; Henry was approximately 86, Nephi was 50: "My dear boy, your poor father is worrying and feels lost, almost living all alone and feels at times if I went to my Darling Lamb’s grave I should lay down on the grave and stop there, and I can’t help it." He then relates how his wife’s sister-in-law, Ellen Read had been sick for several weeks. "When she was taken sick the family went to fetch the Doctor to her, but she told your uncle [Josiah Read] to come down and fetch me. She said she has got more faith in me that all the Doctors combined, so I went and administered to her. She is quite low now, but I pray she may be made whole." Lastly he tells Nephi of Bailey family relations and admonishes him to greet them and collect information. "Give my kind love to all of them, Find out if you can if they have forgave their Brother."

On 7 December 1901, Henry died at his home, 2743 Lincoln Avenue, in Ogden, of "general debility" and "old age."
