Charles was the 2nd son of Levi Bacon Jr. and Emma Whitehead. He at the age of 29 married Mary Stuart Sweetzer Ashby in April of 1890.
Mary passed away at the childbirth of their daughter May Ashby Bacon in Dec 1892. May survived and was raised by Charles with help from his sister Belle and his mother Emma.
Of some note, Charles invented a "Torpedo Protector for Boats" (Patent #1271415 issued Jul 3, 1918)... it is of some dispute whether or not this item was ever used, but perhaps is part of the little-known history concerning warfare and defense.
He primarily was involved with the dry goods business, and as such eventually became the president of Chandler & Co. of Boston, an old and well respected firm.
Upon his death in 1930 a trust was established with $2.7M of his estate, the funds of which were to be allocated to help underserved members of the community, and this Trust currently exists (2011), known as the Charles F. Bacon Trust.
Charles' good will continues to be a positive influence in the world today...
