MRS. H. BACON DIED YESTERDAY
Well Known Resident of Fairfield Passed Away After Extended Illness

Mrs. Henry BACON, one of the best known residents of this city, passed peacefully away at her home in the Wilson flat on the south side of the square yesterday afternoon at five o'clock. Mrs. BACON had been ill for some time and her death was not unexpected by her large circle of friends.

Mrs. Carrie STUFFEL-BACON was borne (sic) in Douds-Leando June 20th, 1848, being the younger daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Peter STUFFELL, sturdy pioneer settlers of the then new village in Van Buren county. She grew to womanhood in the town of her birth and there was united in marriage to Henry BACON on November 9th, 1869.

Mr. and Mrs. BACON continued to reside in Douds-Leando after their marriage until 1885 when they moved to Fairfield where they have since lived. To them were born three daughters--Mrs. Charles G. BELDING of Ely, Iowa; Mrs. Frank SHRINER of this city and Mrs. Hal. H. BROWN of Keokuk, who with their father are left to mourn the death of the mother. One sister Mrs. Henry GREEN of Douds-Leando also survives Mrs. BACON as well as little grandson Robert, son of Mrs. Hal BROWN of Keokuk.

During her life time Mrs. BACON had enjoyed remarkable health and vigor and when three months ago she was stricken with Bright's disease her large circle of friends were shocked and many expressed the belief that she would be able to throw off the disease. Almost from the first her condition had been serious and only the most intimate friends and relatives were admitted to her room.

Mrs. BACON was one of the greatest readers on the present day subjects and was a woman of more than ordinary education. She had been for a number of years an active and untiring worker in George Strong Corps No. 19, W. R. C., of which organization she has long been a member.

A short time before her death Mrs. BACON confessed her faith in christianity and was received into full membership in the Christian church of this city.

The funeral services will be held Friday afternoon at two o'clock at the Christian church and will be conducted by Rev. G. W. Burch. The interrment will be made in Evergreen cemetery. The last services will be in charge of George Strong Corps, W. R. C., who will attend the funeral in a body.

Friends of the family who desire to may call at the home from nine to twelve Friday morning as the casket will not be opened at the church.
