Arthur Scott Bailey
Arthur Scott Bailey 1877-1949, was author of more than forty children's
books. He was born on November 15, 1877, in St. Albans, Vermont, United
States, the second child of Winfield Scott Bailey and Harriet Sarah Goodhue (a girl, Ellen was born in 1876). Winfield Bailey owned a dry
goods shop that was stated to be "one of the most reputable of St. Albans
mercantile concerns" and specialized in furs; namely ladies' fur coats,
muffs and scarves. Bailey attended St. Albans Academy and graduated in
1896, in a class of only eleven other students. He then went on to the
University of Vermont in Burlington, Vermont, where he became involved in
a fraternal organization, Sigma Phi (with which he was very active through
at least 1915; he joined the organization's Catalogue Committee in 1914 as
a vice chairman, after the resignation of Dr. Alexander Duane). |
