Los Angeles Herald 11/12/1898:
LONG BEACH, Nov. 11.-Elmer Bacon, 60 years of age, while out riding with his wife this morning, complained of severe pains in the region of his heart, and, hurrying home, he expired almost immediately afterward. Mr. Bacon was one of the substantial citizens of the place, having the respect and confidence of all who knew him. His sudden death causes a shock to the entire community. The deceased came here with his wife and daughter between three and four years ago from Streator, I11., and, investing in property, he decided on making this place his future home. Mr. Bacon was a prominent member of the Christian church, contributing of his means generously to the building and support of the edifice in which that congregation worships. His wife is completely prostrated over his loss. His daughter Luru, who was married last summer while with her parents visiting in Illinois, remained in that state with her husband.
