HIS LIFE WAS EVENTFUL
CAREER OF HIRAM BACON JR.
Interesting Man Who Died Recently Was Born at Homestead Place, Which Later Was Divided Into Lots for Malott Park.
Hiram Bacon, who died last week was born April 10, 1832. He united with the M. E. Church at Broad Ripple in 1860, under the pastorate of the Rev. George Havens. He was for many years a deacon of that church, as well as a faithful teacher of the Bible class of the Sabbath school.
On April 23, 1855, he was married Miss Priscilla M. Given, who survives him. Mr. Bacon was born in Marion County on the old Bacon homestead north of the city, which was divided up in city lots and upon which is now built the suburb of Malott Park. Upon his marriage he bought a valuable farm near Broad Ripple and added to it from year to year until he became an extensive land owner in that section including the site now occupied by Broad Ripple Park.
About the year 1872 he purchased the Blue River flouring mills at Morristown, Ind., in Shelby County, and conducted an extensive milling business for a number of years. In 1883, owing to a severe catarrhal affection, he moved to north western Iowa in Sioux County, where he engaged in the lumber and live stock business.
Having accumulated a comfortable little fortune he began speculating alone different lines. The wheel of fortune turned backward and misfortune followed misfortune in rapid succession until the accumulation of years of patient endeavor was swallowed up in a few years, and in 1893 he returned to this city and had since lived here until his death, which occurred at his home, 1122 Trowbridge avenue.
He was a man whose heart and judgment were just and impartial to all humanity. His nephews, John Coulter and W. H. Coulter of Frankfort, Ind.; James Q. Johnson and Ralph Easterday of this city, and a grandson Guy E. McCoy, of Rushville, Ind., and John Fetrow, a life long friend, of this city, were pallbearers at the funeral. He leaves a widow and two daughters, Mrs. W. T. Jenkins of Pittsburg, Pa., and Mrs. Carrie H. Walker of Greenfield, Ind., and three sisters, Mrs. Electa Thornton of College Hill, O.; Mrs. Caroline B. Sloan and Mrs. Mary A. Tuttle, and one brother, William Bacon, of Broad Ripple, Ind.
