Sure, I'd love to hear about Bacon. I'm not sure why he witnessed my g-grandfather's naturalization. Perhaps they just needed someone and he was handy. My g-grandfather was a bartender at Burke's Bar in Sedalia. He died in 1873. His widow and her two children stayed in Sedalia until about 1879 and they then moved to St. Louis. I've never been to Sedalia, but I hope to stop there sometime. I live in California. Marilyn
