Individual:
Benjamin is one of three Bailey brothers who married three Craft sisters. A fourth sister, Alithea, married Abner Bailey, a first cousin, once removed, of the Bailey brothers. After his marriage, Benjamin changed his name to Benjamin Franklin Bailey, "due to circumstances within the Strout family." Benjamin and Emma lived on the Baileyville side of the Alexander town line, just north of the County Road (now Route 9) known as The Airline, and near the joint Alexander-Baileyville schoolhouse which most of their children attended.
Ben was a farmer and lumberman in partnership with his brother, Jacob, who lived across the road. Their business was called Bailey Brothers Lumber. In 1887, Ben and Emma sold the homestead to Charles W. Bailey, a cousin, and moved to North Anson in Somerset County, where they had bought a farm. All the children went with them, except Wilford, who had gone to Framingham, MA, in 1884.
However, Wilford was involved with his father and siblings in the creation of Carrabassett Stock Farms, one of the largest stock farms in Somerset County in 1900. In addition to dairy products, the company bred and raised registered stock of cows, sheep and hogs. Carrabassett Stock Farms failed in 1908, when bovine tuberculosis wiped out the herd. The family also operated the Carrabasset Inn in North Anson, which later burned ["Early Baileyville, Maine," pp. 79, 86].
