Samuel S. Bacon |
HON.
SAMUEL S. BACON.
Judge Bacon was born July
11, 1833, in Licking county, Ohio, and when but
three years old was brought by his father,
George Bacon, to Putnam county where he
located on a farm near Gilboa. Judge
Bacon's boyhood days were spent upon a farm,
attending the common school and helping with the
farm work. As he grew to a suitable age he
engaged in the work of teaching, having taught
in the public schools of Gilboa, Pendleton (now
Pandora) and in the country districts for five
years.
He was married Mar. 16, 1858, to Miss Emeline H.
Stewart, a native of Huntington county,
Pennsylvania, where she was born Aug. 28, 1835.
The year after his marriage, in the spring of
1859, Judge Bacon settled in Gilboa and
engaged in mercantile business, continuing so
engaged for about five years. He was
appointed postmaster at Gilboa in the same year.
He served the people of Blanchard township as
justice of the peace for two terms of three
years each.
In the fall of 1870 he removed to Ottawa and became
interested in the purchase and shipment of live
stock and followed that business until the
spring of 1878. In the fall of that year
he was elected Probate Judge of Putnam county,
and re-elected in the fall of 1881. In
1885 he retired from that position and engaged
in the drug business, in which he is still
interested. He served as mayor of Ottawa
for one year to fill a vacancy caused by the
death of John H. Gordon.
Judge and Mrs. Bacon have but one child living,
Mrs. Gertrude Paul (Bacon) Robenalt, who was
born Jan. 4, 1871, and on the 18th day of March,
1891, was married to Alton R. Robenalt.
Judge Bacon is, and for very many years has been, a
member and one of the ruling elders of the First
Presbyterian church of Ottawa. His life as
a conscientious teacher, a capable, efficient
and faithful official and a successful business
man marks Judge Bacon as one of the
representative men of Putnam county.
