Obituary
MRS. CHARLOTTE BACON
Mrs. Charlotte (Pooler) Bacon, wife of Mr. Geo. B. Bacon, died from Bright's disease at her home in this city last Friday, October 6, at 9 a.m. Mrs. Bacon had been ailing for several years, but was confined to the bed only five weeks before her death.
Deceased was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Silas Pooler and was born at Mentor, Ohio, August 28, 1838. She moved with her parents to Fulton, Rock county, Wisconsin, while she was yet a child, and thence to White Creek, Wisconsin, in 1850. Here she was married, January 17, 1856, to Mr. Geo. B. Bacon, who was then engaged in milling, merchandising, farming, etc., at White Creek, where they lived until 1890, with the exception of two yrs. spent in Chicago. For more than 20 years the subject of this mention presided as landlady in the Bacon House, which hostelry was well and favorably known throughout central Wisconsin and its name was synonymous with the most open-hearted hospitality. Their children having all grown up and left home, Mr. and Mrs. Bacon, in May, 1890, sold the old homestead in White Creek, and moved to Algona, Iowa, where they re-engaged in business and remained three years. Closing out at Algona, they spent the summer of 1893 visiting friends at various points.
Early in the fall they attended the World's Fair and in September they took up their residence at Des Moines, Iowa. Here it was that Mrs. Bacon's health first failed and in September, 1894, they gave up their Iowa home and moved to Cumberland. The following year they built a pleasant home here near that of their youngest daughter, Mrs. F. F. Morgan, and settled down to the enjoyment of a well-earned rest. Mrs. Bacon's health contender to fail, however, and they spent the winter of 1897-8 in Florida with the hope of improving her condition, but without success.
Deceased was the mother of four children-three daughters and one son, as follows: Mrs. E. C. Higbee, who died at her home in La Crosse in 1886, aged 29 years; George Warren Bacon who died from spinal meningitis at the old home in White Creek in 1872 at the age of 11 years; Mrs. P. S. Engelhardt, of Milwaukee; and Mrs. F. F. Morgan, of Cumberland. The two last mentioned daughters, with her husband, her aged mother; four brothers and two sisters survive her.
Funeral services were held at the home here at 11:30 a.m., Saturday, October 7, conducted b Rev. D. H. Leland. The remains were shipped on the 12:50 p.m. train the same day to White Creek, Wis., accompanied by the husband and son-in-law, F. F. Morgan. The funeral party reached its destination at one o'clock Sunday afternoon, and on account of the large number of friends who had gathered from all parts of the county, a short funeral service was held in the Congregational church where deceased was for many years an active Christian worker. The services in the church and at the grave were conducted in a very impressive manner by Rev. J. F. Bacon, of Kilbourn City, a brother of the bereaved husband. The body of Mrs. Bacon was laid to rest in the family lot beside that of her only son in White Creek cemetery, where the last sad rites were pronounced in the presence of a very large concourse of sympathizing friends.
Mrs. Bacon was a woman of strong character and pure motives. She was a recognized leader in social and religious work in Adams county for more than 40 years and she endeared herself to all who knew her. She possessed to a remarkable degree those excellent qualities of mind and heart which made friends of every acquaintance. She was acquainted with grief and always met it with the strength and fortitude of a true Christian. Deceased was a woman who made the world better for having lived in it, and her pure, noble and dignified life leaves an influence for good that is like a sweet fragrance. Standing out with conspicuous prominence in the life of Mrs. Bacon were those charming attributes of character which ennoble an dignify womanhood, which hold up high ideals, and which depreciate all forms of indifference to and disregard for that which elevates and purified society. She has been a power for good and her life must ever prove an inspiration to those who love true womanly virtues. Her death is deeply mourned by those who knew what her friendship meant, and sympathy for the bereaved husband is freely extended.
