daughter, Mrs. Lena Stringfellow, in
Rose Hill, at o'clock p. NJ, Satur-
day, April %, 1900, aged rs years, 8
months and 81 days, after lingering
illness of several weeks. 1t was
thought for about ten days prior to
his death that he would get well, as
he had been able to walk up town
each day; but he took violently worse
just after supper Saturday evening
and died one hour later. Mr.. Bacon
was born in Washington county, Ohio,
January z, 1924. He moved to Iowa
in 1913 and settled in White Oak town
ship and had been one of the success
full pioneer farmers as long as he was
able to look after that business. He
had about $50 acres of good land,
most of it underlaid with coal. There
has been local bank in operation for
a number of years under the super
vision of Mike Carey. The subject
of this sketch was married to Nancy
E. Wymore April ID, 1858. To them
were born eleven children, seven of
whom are still living. They are all
married and they, with their families,
were at the home of their father quite
often during his illness and were all
present at the funeral. His wife died
September IL, 1894. Since then Mr..
Bacon had made his home with his
children. He united with the Chris
tian church of Rose Hill in the fall of
1895 and has been faithful member
ever since. The funeral was held at
the Christian church on Monday at
10 am, conducted by Rev.J. ID. Guth-
rie, of Oskaloosa, assisted by Rev. j.
w. White, pastor of the Free Meth
odist church, and Rev.A. w .McBlain,
pastor of M. E. church. Interment
was made at the Wymore cemetery
and there was very large crowd in
attendance. Thus ends the life of one
whose quiet, peaceful life is well worth
initiating. His two brothers, Martin
and X. P. Bacon, of Oskaloosa, the
