Death Record.
Bacon – Frank James Bacon died at his home on East Church street at 10:15 o’clock Saturday night after an illness covering several months, aged about 34 years.
As we penned this death the writer is especially pained, for the subject had been an employe in the composing room of the office ever since the paper was established in this city, and in consequence there was a friendship between us such as exists only between brothers or father and son. He was of quiet, unostentatious disposition and a cripple from birth, therefore looked upon with a certain degree of tenderness. As a carrier boy at the Evening Express office he spent much time in the job composing room and readily learned the art preservation to such a degree that he was employed in the Keystone job office by G. A. Forbes, where he worked until the Times took over this plant. He continued with this office almost 17 years, until a few months ago, when poor health compelled him to lay down the “stick” for the last time. He was an apt job compositor and had few equals as an artistic printer as the jobs from this plant will attest. He was honest and extraordinarily industrious, often, very often at the case when we knew he was not able, towards the last even going to his home during the day to take a rest that he might continue to be of better service. As a boy he was not healthy and as a man he was by no means strong and when he met with an automobile accident a year ago last summer it so reduced him that he was scarcely able to work at all. And yet he was absent but a few days, working when life itself seemed a burden. We all loved him and all hands did their bit to relieve him and lighten the load as much as possible. His passing away has caused a profound sorrow in our hearts and and fond memory of his life and example will ever linger with the editor and the entire office force.
He is survived by two brothers and two sisters: George E, Clarie, and Mary at home, and Thomas C. Jersey Shore; also one aunt, Miss Mary Connally.
The funeral took place on Tuesday morning from the Church of the Immaculate Conception, by Rev. Father Davies. Interment in St. Mary’s cemetery.
