Early Morning Accident at McCormick's Camp Results in Death
of Alonzo P. Bacon
--
While driving to work yesterday morning with a two horse team and heavy wagon, Alonzo P. Bacon, an aged farmer of Prunedale, was jolted from the seat and sustained injuries which proved fatal about half and hour later. The accident occurred at 6:30 o'clock about fifty yards from the camp of Dan McCormick, the contractor who is constructing the new Prunedale Dunbarton road, and was witnessed partly by Elbert A. Bacon, a son of the deceased. The deceased had been employed by McCormick about three weeks.
At the inquest held at Prunedale yesterday afternoon the son testified that his father and himself hitched up a little in advance of the other employees. The father stated first and in making a turn the wheels of his wagon passed over a small ditch, causing a jolt of sufficient severity to pitch him off the seat. Mr. Bacon did not see him fall, but his attention was attracted by the voice of his father calling to the team to stop. He went to his assistance, stopped the team and found his father holding on to the reigns and dragging between the front and rear wheels.
He assisted him to his feet and ran after his own team which had started up. The old man leaned on the fence a few minutes and then collapsed. By this time a grandson had appeared. The grandson and son caught hims as he sank to the ground.
Elbert A. Bacon then left the grandson in charge and went to the McCormick camp. Returning in a few moments with a buggy, the elder man was placed in it and driven home, a
distance of babout two miles. He died ten minutes after arriving there. Just before passing he partly recovered
consciousness, raised his head and surveyed the surroundings. Asked if he felt better, he replied that he thought he was going to die. Those were his final words.
The deceased arrived in Prunedale from Mexico a few months ago to join his son. He was a native of New York, and 72 years of age. A widow survives him.
The coroner's jury, consisting of Thomas Edwards, R.E.L. Haley, Henry Dirr, P.S. Harvey, S. Panigo and W.H. Read, found that death was caused by an internal hemorrhage following the fall.
The funeral will be held from his late residence tomorrow morning. Services of an appropriate nature will be
held at the Prunedale Baptist church at 10 o'clock and the remains will be interred in the Prunedale cemetery.

A SAD TRIBUTE OF LOVE
------
A. P. Bacon passed away on Jan. 20, 1910. He came to his death by his team accidentally cramping his wagon in such a way as to throw him from his seat with such violence as to cause his death within an hour.
A. P. Bacon was born in New York state, July 3, 1838. His father and family moved to Nebraska in his youth, and he lived there until he was married to his first wife, and who bore them four children, two boys and two girls. One boy died in infancy, and one girl later on in Colorado, leaving Elbert A. Bacon, of Salinas, Cal., and Mrs. Lilly Miller, of Mangum, Oklahoma. When his beloved country made the first call for volunteers to help put down the Rebellion he enlisted. From this service he had an honorable discharge, and afterwards lived in many different states. He came to Oregon in 1905, where he married Mrs. Mary E. Jackson, formerly of Canyonville, Or. They soon went to Oklahoma, and from there to New Mexico; thence to near Salinas, Cal., on Oct 9, 1909, to make their permanent home.
Mr. Bacon was enlisted in another war for 25 long years. That was to put down sin and rebellions against the weak and honored Nazarine, one who had given his life for he world, and who was and is today calling loudly for willing volunteers who are anxious to stake their lives on His word. He who has said, come unto me all ye ends of the earth and be ye saved for why will ye die? From such loving service he asked no discharge. There is where he was calmly standing when he fell as his post.
His Wife,
MARY BACON
