The Bailey farm played quite an important part in the early days with the Bailey children rowing 2 ½ miles to the Camp (Harmony) to deliver orders of fruit and bread. On coming to Camp from Seabeck on the Buckeye, the sight of the big white Bailey farmhouse was a welcome sight and we all knew that Camp Harmony was not far away.” “Their children attended the Coyle School, walking many miles through the woods in all kinds of weather. Coyle at the time was a good sized fishing village with a large school attendance, a store, a post office and a dock.” 1911 Polk Hannah Bailey, Dairy
