Biography

Ithiel S. Bailey, Jr., one of the most prominent and progressive citizens of Grinnell, is
president of the Bailey Buggy Company, which have an extensive trade in the south and
western country. He is also an extensive landowner and devotes a part of his time to
general agricultural pursuits on his farm two miles northwest of Grinnell. His birth
occurred in Moretown, Vermont, on the 6th of June, 1858, his parents being Ithiel S.
and Lucy (Pattroll) Bailey, the former a native of Acworth, New Hampshire, and the
latter of Norwich. Vermont. Following their marriage, which was celebrated in
Moretown, Vermont, they removed to Fitchburg, Massachusetts, where Mr. Bailey
learned the carpenter's trade and also mastered bridge building. At that time bridges
were largely constructed after the truss pattern. In connection with his duties as a
building contractor Mr. Bailey also engaged in general agricultural pursuits, operating a
farm. In the spring of 1869 he came west to Grinnell, Iowa, and turned his entire
attention to agriculture, acquiring a farm of one hundred and eighty- three acres two
miles northwest of the town. In 1876 he disposed of the property and removed to Sac
county, Iowa, where he purchased land and resided until called to his final rest about
1900, when eighty-two years of age. He gave his political allegiance to the democracy
and held various local offices, serving as justice of the peace for several years. He was
likewise a valued member of the Masonic fraternity, joining the order in 1865. His wife,
who passed away in 1906, also lived to attain the age of eighty-two years.
Ithiel S. Bailey, Jr. was reared at home and obtained his education in the Grinnell high
school. When a youth of eighteen he began his career as an agriculturist, renting a farm
in the summer of 1876 and devoting his attention to its operation until the spring of
1884. At that time he came to Grinnell and embarked in business as a dealer in farm
implements, being thus prominently identified with mercantile interests until 1900.
During the greater part of the time he was associated with A. A. Foster, his brother-inlaw,
and J. C. Goodrich. In 1900 Mr. Bailey and Mr. Goodrich sold their interests to Mr.
Foster and embarked in business as hardware merchants. A year later A. C. Rinefort
joined the firm and, in association with Mr. Bailey, purchased the interest of Mr.
Goodrich. Mr. Bailey and Mr. Rinefort then conducted both a hardware and grocery
establishment for about two years. On the expiration of that period Mr. Bailey disposed
of his interest in the concern and embarked in the vehiclebusiness, his market being the
west and southwestern country. For the past nine years he has been engaged in that line
of business, which has assumed extensive and profitable proportions. He disposes of his
goods through the system of trailing, taking the buggies through the country and selling
direct to the farmers. Mr. Bailey is also quite extensively interested in farm lands, and in
addition to his place two miles northwest of Grinnell, he owns three hundred and twenty
acres in the Alberta district of Canada and an eighty acre farm in Oklahoma. He
cultivates his Poweshiek county land and likewise feeds cattle to some extent. He is also
a stockholder in the Grinnell Gas Company. In 1876 Mr. Bailey was united in marriage
to Miss Ida Kate Houghton, of Grinnell, Iowa, by whom he has a son, Louis Nelson
Bailey, still at home, who is engaged with his father in the buggy business. Mr. Bailey is
a stanch republican in politics and served for several years as president of the Grinnell
school board. At the present time he is a member of the city council of Grinnell. He is
also a valued member of the Grinnell Commercial Club, while fraternally he is
identified with the Knights of Pythias, belonging to Grinnell Lodge, No. 175. Both he
and his wife belong to the Congregational church and take an active and helpful interest
in its work. By constant exertion, associated with good judgment, Mr. Bailey has raised
himself to the position which he today occupies in business circles, having the
friendship of many and the respect of all who know him.
