From the 1887 History of Vernon County,
Missouri. Brown & Co., p. 414-415:
|
| GEORGE W. BACON |
| (Farmer and Stock-feeder,
Section 10, Post-office, Hume). |
| Himself a native of the
Buckeye State, Mr. Bacon came partially of Ohio antecedents, his father,
Lorton Bacon, also having been born in that State. He was an early
settler in this county, coming here in the fall of 1856, though previous
to that time he had lived in Illinois. He died in Kansas in 1859,
leaving three children: George Washington, Malinda J., wife of
Austin Bird, of Rich Hill, and Nancy Ann, who married Adam Hofsess.
Mr. Bacon's wife, formerly Christine Horn, of Germany, died in 1871.
George W. first saw the light July 23, 1847, and afterwards continued to
live in Ohio until the family moved westward, when he accompanied them.
He was reared on a farm, and later on acquired a knowledge of the stock
business, both of which branches he now carries on in a successful
manner. His present place he settled in 1868, and since that time
it has been improved in a comfortable and desirable manner. All
that he now owns has been gained entirely through his own good judgment
and sagacious management, and speaks well for his industry. He
owns 160 acres of good land. In 1873 Mr. Bacon was married to Miss
Mary E. Corey, who was born in New York, and five children have blessed
their union: Zoe Edna, Libbie E., Louie C. Daisy R., and George H.
Mr. B. is a member of the M. E. Church South. |
