His burial service was conducted by St Peter's church and the Masonic Lodge #31. Obit appeared 09-25-1890 in Maury Democrat newspaper.
Maury Democrat, 25 Sep 1900. "Death of Josh G. Bailey. The news of the unexpected death of Josh G. Bailey at 2 o'clock a.m. last Thursday received with great sorrow in this community where he has lived for so many years. He had been suffering more or less for several days, complaining of pains in his head, but none thought the end so near. Mr. Bailey was born Dec. 20 1838 in this city, he entered the Confederate Army when quite young and made a gallant soldier. He always took a great interest in the meetings of Bivouac's, reunions, and decorating the graves of the dead boys of the lost cause. Few men had better capabilities for business than did Mr. Bailey, and though strong in his likes and dislikes he had few enemies and many warm friends. He for a number of years was general freight agent here and also conducted an insurance business. Mr. Bailey was twice married, first to Miss Calista Hendley by whom he had one child, Lee Bailey now grown. He afterwards married Miss Mary Walker of Memphis who still survives him and three children. The funeral services were held at St. Peter's Church last Friday at 10 o'clock, the church services being conducted by Rev. E. Warren Clark, after which the Knights of Pythias and Masons took charge of the remains, conveying them to Rose Hill where the last sad rites were held over the remains of deceased who was a member of high standing of above orders. Peace to his ashes." Obituary mailed to Mary Bob McClain by Talley Bailey -(critt61626@aol.com) 2 Aug 2010

Joshua Bailey is buried outside the Confederate group burial section of Rose Hill Cemetery. Joshua rode with the 9th
Tn Cav Co A and was captured at Ft Donelson and outlived the war of aggression until 15 Sep 1890. His dad was Augustus Bailey and mom Elizabeth Guest Bailey of Columbia. Can someone living near Columbia please help me locate
his burial site. His first wife Calista Hendley Bailey is buried in section C of Rose Hill but he does not appear to be in that section. Joshua is my second cousin twice removed. Talley Bailey critt61626@aol.com 4 Aug 2010
