The Obituary of Edward J. Bacon

25 October 1859 - 5 December 1920

From the Livonia Gazette, 10 December 1920

Edward Bacon was killed near his home in the village of Hemlock about 6 o’clock Sunday night by a car driven by Truman S. Stevens, who, with Mrs. Stevens, was on his way home from Buffalo. There was a wind, with sleet and snow and Mr. Stevens did not see Mr. Bacon until after the car had struck him. The head and spot lights were on. The car was on the right side of the road and no blame whatever is attached to Mr. Stevens.

It is not likely that the reason for the accident will ever be known. Mr. Bacon, whose home is but a few yards from where he met his death, had been to the house of his son Glenn and was returning home when struck. Word was immediately sent to the coroner at Avon, who gave permission for the removal of the body. He arrived soon after, but made only an examination, not deeming an inquest at all necessary.

Mr. Bacon was the son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Philip Bacon, who with three children, Philip, Caroline and George, came from England many years ago and settled in the town of Richmond, where six more children were born among them being Edward who thirty nine years ago this fall married Miss Alice Sharpsteen, also of Richmond. They had three sons, two of whom are living. Mr. Bacon was born October 25, 1859 In business he followed farming in his home town, Richmond, until about ten years ago when he moved to Hemlock and engaged in the hardware business.

He leaves, besides his wife, two sons, Clarence of Richmond, who resides on the home farm and Glenn, of Hemlock; one sister, Mrs. Sennett of Honeoye and four brothers, George of Hemlock and Fred, John and William of Honeoye. The funeral was held from the Methodist church Wednesday afternoon at 1:30, the Rev. Mr. Bucher of Spencerport, an old friend of Mr. Bacon and his former pastor and the Rev. Mr. Williams the resident pastor, officiating. The interment was in Lakeview cemetery at Honeoye beside his son Ernest, who died several years ago.

Edward Bacon was one of the town’s best citizens, and his death has caused a feeling of sadness to come over the entire community. Mr. Stevens is grief-stricken at being the cause, of the death of his life-long friend, and the keenest sympathy goes out to him as well as to the members of the family bereft of husband and father.
