JUDGE BACON, OF
HANNIBAL, DEAD

Prominent Jurist Passed
Away at a Hospital There.

HANNIBAL, Sept. 1. -- Judge Thomas H. Bacon, one of Hannibal's oldest citizens and one of the most prominent members of the legal profession, died this morning at 8 o'clock at the Levering hospital, where he had been taken from his home about a week ago. For nearly two years Judge Bacon has been a sufferer from kidney trouble, which has been slowly getting worse in spite of all that the doctors could do and which has confined him to his bed for the last six weeks. At his bedside were his daughter, Ethel, and his brother, Robert. He was 69 years, 1 month and 21 days old and had spent nearly his entire life in this city.

He was married to Miss Jane Walters at McVeytown, Pa., Nov. 30, 1876. But one child, the daughter Ethel, is now living of the two she bore him. Mrs. Bacon died in Hannibal Sept. 9, 1904. The daughter and the brother are the only immediate relatives.

He was a member of the Methodist church for many years.

Judge Bacon was the son of George and Catherine Lakenan Bacon and was born in Palmyra, Mo., July 10, 1839. The family moved to Hannibal on March 3, 1847, and it was here that the future jurist obtained his education in the public schools, afterwards attending St. Paul's college for one year and later still studying under the private tutorship of Rev. J. W. Dunn, of Hannibal. In February, 1860, he began the study of law in the office of the firm of Lamb and Lakenan, but gave up these studies to respond to the universal call to arms in the stormy times of the following year.

June 14, 1861, he joined the Missouri state guards as a volunteer and on July 15 of that year enlisted at Cowskin Prairie in Col. John Q. Burbridge's Pike county company, known as the Jackson guards.
