BACON.--In this city, September 23d, 1880, at 1 p.m., Frona, daughter of L. C. and H. Bacon. Funeral from the residence of D. G. Tunnicliff, Friday, at 9 a. m.
Frona Bacon was born and grew to womanhood, in Tennessee township, this county. For several years past, she has made her home with her sister, Mrs. D. G. Tunnicliff, this city. She has been an invalid for eight or nine years. Her disease, consumption, insidious and deceptive at all times, has with her been even more so than usual. She seemed at times fading from earth, then she would rally and apparently regain accustomed health. Vainly she sought the climates of Colorado and California; their genial atmosphere failed to give back the rose to her cheek and strength to her frame; returning from each found her weaker than when she went.
For the past few weeks she has grown thinner as the days past [sic] by, and yesterday she took on the rest of death. Kind-hearted [sic] and of gentle disposition, Frona Bacon will be missed by a large circle of those who knew and loved her.
