Bacon, Everett (1837 - 31 AUG 1889)
Everett Bacon, an
old resident of this city (Neillsville, Clark County), and who went
to the far west two or three years ago, died suddenly at Portland,
Ore., Saturday, Aug. 31, 1889. The following particulars of the sad
occurrence is taken from the Portland Evening Telegram of Sept.
2:
"The funeral of Mr. Everett Bacon, who died very suddenly last
Saturday, took place this afternoon under the direction of
Washington Lodge, A. F. A.M.
The announcement of his death was made Saturday. The particulars
are as follows: Saturday morning he thought he would go to work and
went to his bench, he being a carpenter. About 9 o'clock he was
seen to fall to the floor and remain motionless. Some men went to
his assistance, and found him unconscious. He was immediately
carried into the house and Dr. Caples summoned, who on arriving saw
that the man was suffering from a stroke of paralysis, and beyond
all human help. He lingered in an unconscious state until one
o'clock, when he died without a struggle. He never spoke after
receiving the stroke. He was a man about 52 years of age, and
leaves a wife and four children."
Mrs. L. M. Sturdevant, of this city, Mrs. D. Bailey of Greenwood,
and Mrs. Wilson of Black River Falls, are sisters of the deceased.
Mr. B. was an honest and upright citizen of this city for a great
many years, and witnessed the growth of the town from a small
village to a prosperous city. The attack of paralysis which caused
his death was the third stroke he had experience. He went west
thinking he would have better health, but the complaint had taken
too great a hold upon his system. The family and other relatives of
the deceased have the earnest sympathy of the numerous
acquaintances here.
The deceased was insured in several benefit association,
aggregating some 5900.
