Surviving members of the family are: Messrs. Sidney Bailey (Grenfell), Walpole (Haberfield), Cecil (Victoria), Mrs. Merritt (Sydney), Mrs. James Downey (Grenfell). Two sons predeceased him. For many years deceased farmed on the Quandong, and afterwards came into town to live. In his young days he was a noted athlete, and won many foot races, his only superior in Grenfell at that time being a local named Samuels.
