109 Year musical tradition lives on in Freedom Church Road area Musical get-together at Fern and Charlie Roy's on February 6, 2009, had some 45 in attendance. It's on same vicinity where Civil War veteran Archibald Bailey held entertainments in 1900. Clicking on headline accesses full story with photographs By Brandy Nicole Legg And the music plays on A musical tradition which is now at least 109 years old lives on in the Freedom Church area of Adair County. An entry in the January 17, 1900 issue of the old Adair County News told of one back then: A musical entertainment was given at the residence of Mr. Arch Bailey last Saturday night which was immensely enjoyed by the young people of that vicinity. The young ladies who attended contributed cake while the young men brought in- candies.One hundred nine years later, on Friday night, February 6, 2009, a musical family gathering was held at the home of Fern and Charlie Roy. Fern is the great-granddaughter of Archibald (Arch) Bailey, who is mentioned in the article. The home Fern and Charlie Roy in in the same Freedom Church neighborhood as that of Mr. Arch Bailey. Mr. Archibald Bailey: Dec. 27, 1833 to June 17, 1928 Mr. Archibald Bailey lived from December 27, 1833 to June 17, 1928 and was a Civil War soldier for the Union Army, Pvt., Co. K, 13th Kentucky Vol. Calvary Military Service. Over the years, Fern and Charlie have hosted several of these family gatherings in which music, food, fun, and family fellowship were all a part. I assume that the musical entertainment held at the home of Mr. Arch Bailey was of the same nature. I suppose Arch Bailey had no idea in 1900 that he was starting a tradition that would carry on for over 100 years now. Approximately 45 family members were in attendance on the night of February 6, which included a span of four generations of the Archibald Grider Bailey descendants. The author/photographer is a great great great granddaughter of Archbald Bailey. She is a student at Somerset Community College. Related article This story was posted on 2009-02-18 08:55:20
