SAMUEL BACON, a retired merchant of Winnebago City, Minnesota, was born in Livingston county, New York, in 1832, son of George W. and Jemima (Sparks) Bacon, both of whom were natives of the Green Mountain State. Mr. Bacon was reared to farm life and received a fair education in the public schools of his native State.
In 1849 George W. Bacon and his family came West and settled at Princeton, Green Lake county, Wisconsin, where he engaged in farming, remaining there until 1863, when the family removed to Minnesota, locating on a farm in Nashville township, Martin county, where the parents resided until their death. They had a family of two sons and five daughters who grew to maturity, and six of the number are living at this writing (1894).
Samuel Bacon followed farming a number of years, and made the business a success. He is still the owner of 300 acres of good land in Martin county. About 1877 he gave up farming and engaged in merchandising in Nashville, and continued in business at that place until August, 1891, when he sold out. He then came to Winnebago City and opened a general store, which he conducted with success until March, 1894, when he sold out and retired from active business pursuits, and now lives at ease in his pleasant home on HoIIy street.
Since casting his first presidential vote for Abraham Lincoln, he has been an uncompromising supporter of the Republican party, but has never been an aspirant for political honors. For several years he served as Postmaster at Nashville, receiving his first appointment from President Grant.
April 10, 1855, at Ripon, Wisconsin, he married Miss Frances E., daughter of William and Rebecca (Parsons) Clark, both of whom were natives of the town of Sterling, New York. Mr. and Mrs. Bacon have no children of their own, but have raised a number of orphan children.
In religious faith they are Free Baptists.
