==Life and work==
The fourth child of Emily and Hiram Bailey, Vernon Orlando Bailey was born on June 21, 1864 in Manchester, Michigan. Hiram Bailey was a woodsman and a mason by trade. Bailey and his pioneer family moved by horse-drawn wagon to Elk River, Minnesota in 1870. Since there were no school in the frontier town at the time, the Baileys schooled their children at home until they and several other local families established a school in 1873. Hiram Bailey was a woodsman and hunter and taught his son how to hunt at an early age. Bailey began collecting specimens and forwarding them to Dr. C. Hart Merriam, founder of the Bureau of Biological Survey (the predecessor to the current U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service). Bailey was appointed special field agent to the Division of Economic Ornithology and Mammalogy in 1887. By 1890, Bailey was awarded the title of Chief Field Naturalist. He served in this position until his retirement in 1933. He was the president of the American Society of Mammalogists from 1933 to 1934.〔(Biographies of ASM Presidents, American Society of Mammalogists )〕 In 1899, he married ornithologist Florence Augusta Merriam Bailey. The two traveled the United States together and separately collecting and observing specimens in the field. They co-authored several articles including "Cave life of Kentucky" with Leonard Giovannoli, published in the September 1933 edition of ''American Midland Naturalist'' (Vol. 14, No. 5).
