Died – Benjamin Bacon, Esq. – at his residence in Pulaski, on Thursday the 24th inst., Benjamin Bacon, Esq., aged between sixty and seventy years.  We had the pleasure of a life long acquaintance with the deceased.  He was endowed by nature with an intellect of unusual capacity, and always wielded a commanding influence in the community where he resided.  As a member of the Methodist Church he ever occupied a prominent place, and was for some years a local preacher.  But we are incompetent to the task of doing justice to his merits, and trust some friend will furnish us with more extended notice.  The Schuyler Citizen, August 1, 1860.
