Additional Comments
04/28/15: Edgar Bailey, the builder of this house, was President of the Marshfield Publishing Co. and forerunner in the merger between the Wisconsin Hub and Marshfield News to establish Marshfield Daily News, the city's first daily newspaper.

"This two story Colonial Craftsman style home was built by Edgar S. Bailey in 1915. Mr. Bailey was a former President of Marshfield Publishing Company and was a forerunner in the merger between the Wisconsin Hub, the Marshfield Times and Marshfield News to establish Marshfield Daily News, the city's first daily newspaper, which later became the Marshfield News Herald. The home remained in the family until Mrs. Bailey's death in 1944. George Buss, of the Hercules Powder Co. and later with the W. H. Barber Oil Co. of Minneapolis, lived in the home in 1949."
