Lloyd Bailey is Killed By Dynamite Explosion
Lloyd Bailey, 55, of near Spencer, was killed instantly early Tuesday afternoon by a dynamite explosion while blasting trees on his brother's farm southwest of Royal.
The mishap occurred about 12:30 P.M. Tuesday when a charge Bailey had set off went off prematurely. The blast had been set under a tree in the barnyard of the Morris Bailey farm located three miles southwest of Royal.
Lloyd had been helping his brother blast trees at the farm for several days prior to the accident. It is believed that a defective charge caused the premature explosion. Lloyd was working alone at the time of the accident and the only eye-witness to the explosion was C. S. Nordland, a rural mail carrier out of Royal.
The blast showered branches and dirt high into the air and by the time Nordland reached the scene Bailey was dead.
The body was taken to Cobb-Warner Funeral Home in Spencer where funeral arrangements are pending.
A father of seven children, Bailey was engaged as a farmer on land north of Spencer. He had been a resident of Royal and Spencer during his lifetime.
He was born June 19, 1984, near Royal on the same farm where he was killed. He lived on the home farm until his marriage in 1917. He farmed near Royal for three years, then moved to a farm northwest of Spencer.
One son preceded him in death.
