Your query is somewhat confusing. TITLED "GE" posted to Bailey county Texas regarding Ethal Lee Bailey.

You should post to Bailey SURNAME not this county board. What is the GE for ?

NO person listed as Ethel L/Lee Bailey in Mercer CO WV in 1900 census. No Wm Patton Fletcher either, following Ethel Fletcher matching criteria is in Beaver Pond, Mercer CO WV in 1910 married 5 yrs with two children husband listed as Dudley Fletcher. You should recognize children's names?
There were Bailey's listed in Beaver Pond in 1900 but no Ethel Bailey.

Unable to find Lewis Bailey and family in 1930 census. Checked for surname Shufflebarger and found some to be in Bluefield, Mercer county in census records assuming Lewis' mother could be a Shufflebarger.

Death certificate possibly would have her parents name on it.
