F. C. BACON

They grew to mature years here. In 1923 Johnnie Mentzer wrote a sketch of the useful life of F. C. Bacon who was then ninety-five and his good wife still with him was ninety-four years old. Mr. Bacon was born at Charleston, Massachusetts, and she at Garland, Missouri, but by some strange romance they were married at WhitensviUe, Massachusetts, January 1, 1855, and lived a while in New York City before coming to Linn County in 1857. What a wonderful period of human history was encompassed by their lives!
