link fence. He built Awassa Lodge on Lake
Content and owned all the shore line of Lake
Content, except one piece. He also owned the

Donald Bailey
Residency: Late-1960's
Don operated
Bailey's Resort on Pickerel Lake (Cty J) for many
years. He was a very active chief of the St.
Germain Fire and Rescue Department and his efforts
laid the foundation for the fire department as it is
today. He worked ceaselessly to bring new equipment
and needed improvements to the department. He
challenged the State of Wisconsin to lower the
town's fire insurance rating and succeeded with an
almost flawless performance by the fire department.
Two of his last projects before his death were to
have a hook-and-ladder truck in the department and a
Forest Fire Conditions sign installed in front of
the Chamber of Commerce. He worked on these with
his usual enthusiasm.
Although he did not
live to see either one completed, the department finally
did get the hook-and-ladder truck. The fire
conditions sign was also installed in front of the Chamber of
Commerce and, curiously, dedicated to
George Lorentz. The
Don Bailey
Memorial Tree was planted in front of the fire
department
in memory of his many achievements.
