A.T. BACON, farmer, P.O. Edinburgh, was born in this county January 28,
1816; son of William and Polly Bacon, natives of Connecticut and Vermont
respectively, and who came to this county about 1800, where they lived and
died, the father in 1850, the mother in 1864.  Our subject was married
August 31, 1843, to Cordelia C. Darling, born in New York in 1826, daughter
of Thomas and Margaret Darling (both deceased).  Mr. and Mrs. Bacon have had
three children:  William T., Wyllys D., and Mary V., wife of D.P. Shillady.
Mr. Bacon, who was reared on a farm and has followed agricultural pursuits
all his life, owns 195 acres of improved land in this county.  He has filled
the office of Township Trustee with credit to himself and to the
satisfaction of his constituents.  The Bacon family is an old and well
respected one in this county, where the members have passed many years.
