Katharine Ann Bailey (1841-1918)
was known also as "Kate" or "Kitty". She kept an album from about 1858-1863, in which friends
and family members wrote their good wishes and asked to be remembered. The above sample page was written on 14 October
1858 by her older brother, Simeon Hovey Bailey (1837-1894). The Bailey Family were living in Prospect,
Butler County, Pennsylvania at the time. In 1865, Kate married Robert Balph (1840-1904) in Kittanning.
The Balph family would make their home in Parker City.
