Death of A. S. Bacon.
Algernon Sidney Bacon died at his home in this place at 11 o'clock on last Saturday, after a long illness. He was born near Richmond 74 years ago, and was raised in Louisa county, this State. He came to Lexington in the year 1842 and in 1848 married Miss Cornelia A. Lewis, a daughter of the late Capt. Wm. C. Lewis.
For about forty years he was a prominent merchant of the town. He was noted for his pleasant and genial disposition, and was universally popular, especially with the young people, among whom he was a great favorite. Four or five years ago his health failed, and since he has been a confirmed and helpless invalid.
Mr. Bacon was connected with the Quartermaster's department during the war, but served at the battle of Piedmont as Captain of Reserves and displayed marked gallantry in that hotly-contested fight.
He leaves three surviving children, one son and two daughters; Dr. W. L. Bacon and Misses Jennie and Nina Bacon.
His funeral at 4 o'clock Sunday afternoon was from the Presbyterian church, of which he had long been a member. The services were conducted by Dr. Preston, pastor of the church, in the presence of a large congregation of the friends and acquaintances of the deceased.
The honorary pall-bearers were: Prof. J. J. White, Prof. C. J. Harris, J. D. Anderson, Esq, Wm. White, Esq., Prof. S. T. Moreland, J. T. McCrum, Esq.
Messrs. S. O. Campbell, Wm. H. White, W. C. Stuart, S. R. Moore, W. G. White, and J. Will Moore officiated as active pall-bearers.
His parents are William and Jane Bacon.
