George Curtis Bailey - VT/Iowa - First Wife?
My great-grandfather was George Curtis Bailey. He was born 1 Apr 1842 in Montpelier, VT (according to his marriage license in 1879), to Richard Bailey and Matilda Allen Colton. In 1879 he was living in Iowa, but came to Illinois to marry Anna Magdelena Runner (born 22 Sep 1851 in Howard, PA) in Stephenson County. According to their marriage license (and the 1910 census) he was married once before. Sometime between 1860 and 1879 he got married, and divorced(?), for the first time. I am looking for his first wife. I think her name may have been Susan. George died in 1918 in Rockford, Illinois.
