          Fortune L. Bailey  died at his home in Freeport at two o'clock Sunday afternoon, after a long and painful illness.  Mr. Bailey died on the farm on which he was born seventy-two years ago.  He was married to  Ella Wilcoxon  on June 8, 1858, who survives him.  He served in the Civil War in Co. I, 13th Indiana Cavalry.  He served as an orderly sargent until just before the close of the war he was made first lieutenant of his company.  But few men could say what he could, that he had not enemy in the world.  Mr. Bailey was quite ingenious having brought out quite an array of patents.  He was the inventor of the Gatling gun which was stolen from him during the war.  His funeral services will be held at his late home at two o'clock, Tuesday afternoon, August 12th.  The interment will be made in the Hanover cemetery.  Funeral in charge of Edwards & Hageman.
