============================================
This bio spans two (2) pages: 639-640
MRS. CORDELIA BAILEY
One of the most worthy among the citizens of St. Clair county is Mrs. Cordelia (Tuttle) Bailey. Mrs. Bailey was the daughter of Israel and Tempi (Gilmore) Tuttle, early residents of Bertie, Ontario, where she was born in 1834. The other children were: Sophia, William H., Hannah, Jeremiah, Samantha and James G. The three sons entered the service of the United States during the war of the Rebellion. William became second lieutenant and died on the field; Jeremiah also perished in the cause and James G. received a liberal pension for injuries sustained July 16, 1850, at Detroit. Cordelia Tuttle was united in marriage to Charles Gilbert, who was born in New York, February 18, 1824, the son of Mason and Susan Gilbert. Mason Gilbert was a native of Pennsylvania, but resided the greater part of his life in New York, the last years of his life being spent at the home of his son Charles, where he died in 1864. Soon after his marriage Charles Gilbert established a grocery business at Algonac, and did a profitable business for many years. He died October 8, 1892, and Mrs. Cordelia was later united in marriage to Samuel Bailey. At the present Mrs. Bailey owns considerable valuable property, not a little of which has been made through her own business foresight.
