Obituaries: Died, Charles O. Bacon, 17 years and 28 days; Caleb J. Bacon, aged 7 years, 4 months and 15 days and George W. Bacon, aged 3 years, 10 months, and 9 days. It would seem as if the cup of grief was brimming full when the shadow of the dark-winged angel rests upon one loved member of a household. But who can depict the anguish as death claims in quick secession each of three darling children. Who can tell of the terrible depths of sorrow---the awful climax of grief---reached as the parents take the last sad look on each dear face, as each is successively laid away to dreamless rest. All that could be done for the afflicted family (who arrived but a month before) by kind neighbors, was done, and in their deep grief they have the entire sympathy of their neighbors in Pleasant Plain community. They all died of diphtheria.
