Madge tells the story of growing up in a family of 16 that settled on a 120 acre farm in the New Mexico mountains. A book written that the generations to come might remember their stories and trust in God.

Hello Seppi family!
My name is Lisa Morrison and I am the Granddaughter of Ollie Bell (Jones) Selzer. I live in central OK and borrowed my Grandmother's copy of "The Bailey Kids" and am loving it...can't put it down. Especially since there are family ties! I jumped online hoping to find an outlet to purchase my own copy and possibly more for some other family members. Would you know of such an outlet? Thank you so much for posting the picture of the Bailey girls! Would you have any more, possibly younger and/or the boys? Thanks so much for any help, Lisa

Hello Lisa!
Aunt Madge just passed away on her 95th birthday. I don't know of any books still available. I've written some about our grandma, but that is still a draft.

Grandma did not have many photos. The boys were much older than she, so they are rarely together in pictures.

Feel free to e-mail us at dneseppi@aol.com.

Thanks so much for the info Regina!

I am so sorry to hear of your Aunt Madge's passing.

You will be very happy to have all the fabulous stories from your Grandmother chronicled. What an exciting endeavor for you to take on.

I found a copy of the book online last night! My sister is just ramping up her search for our family history and the book will be both helpful and treasured. We are not yet sure how we are kin to the Baileys, but this should help solve the mystery.

My Dad used to talk about “Uncle Daniel”…? Would you happen to know the married names of all the girls? Perhaps it’s all in the book; I haven’t gotten very far along and suppose I am a bit over-anxious. :)

Thank you again,
Lisa
