Son of Daniel Doubleday and Mary Frances Kemp Bacon
FUNERAL SERVICES FOR THOMAS BACON AT NEW HOPE CHURCH SUNDAY
Tom Bacon died Friday, April 11, at his home near Oakland. Funeral services were held at New Hope church Sunday afternoon. It was estimated that twice as many people were on the outside as inside the church.
The services were conducted by Rev. William Huffman, a former pastor of Lebanon Baptist church, assisted by Rev. J. D. Patterson, pastor of New Hope church.
The Edwards quartet sang several favorite funeral sings with Mrs. Mary Windsor accompanist.
A large number of floral offerings banked the altar and long time friends of the family served as pall bearers.
Thomas Daniel Bacon was a son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Doubleday and Mary Frances Kemp Bacon who settled in a vicinity east of Lebanon not long after the close of the Civil War.
The little log school house in the neighborhood was first called the Conner school for another pioneer family but another school also bore that name so the name was changed to the Bacon school. Three generations of Bacon children have received education there. The deceased later attended a business college at Wichita, Kan.
Thomas Bacon, who was born on his father's farm in that district grew to manhood there. He married a school days sweetheart, Miss Lizzie Galloway and they celebrated the 50th anniversary of their wedding day March 25, 1946.
With the exception of a few months Mr. Bacon spent his entire life in Laclede county.
He leaves besides his wife, a son, Ivan Bacon, of Lebanon and two daughters, Mrs. T. T. Speaker of Lebanon and Mrs. Joe Houston of Higginsville. A sister, Mrs. William Berger, of near Oakland also survives.
