Funeral notice states spouse's name as Edith M Bailey, Moravia, Gatehouse. Buried at Girthon Cemetery.
News of the death of Mr Foster Bailey, resident partner in the firm of Messrs Walker & Co., bobbin manufacturers, Gatehouse, was met with regret by many friends and by the public generally.
Mr Bailey was a native of Huddersfield, and came to Gatehouse in 1925 to take over the management of the company's mill. In wartime he installed machinery for the manufacture of military requirements.
In 1929 the mill was rebuilt and refitted for the manufacture of bobbins, and under his management the business was rapidly increasing.
