    3. Here is the last of the info on BACON found in the "History of Crawford County, PA, 1885." On page 1022, in the Biographical Sketch section for Spring Township: "R.B. Greenlee, PO Mosiertown, is a native of this county, born January 1, 1827; son of John and Mary (Chamberlain) Greenlee, the former a farmer and a native of Crawford County, Penn., died in 1865; the latter a native of New Jersey, died in 1867. They were members of the Baptist Church. Our subject, the fourth child in the family, has all his life been engaged in agricultural pursuits. He was married May 3, 1854, to Jane A. BACON, a native of New York State, and daughter of John S. and Sallie BACON, who came to this county in 1836. They are parents of four children, and are members of the Baptist Church, both now living with our subject. Mr. Greenlee and wife have had born to them four children: Mary J., Jerome B., Cassius M. and Marshall, some of whom are members of the Baptist Church at Mosiertown. Our subject is owner of 116 acres of land. In politics he is a Republican." In "Meadville...Its Past and Present, Sesqui-Centennial Edition of The Tribune-Republican 1788-1938," in Section G, page 25, I found the following BACON reference: "Florence Rosannah BACON is not a native of Meadville, but lived in the city from the time she entered Allegheny College in 1907. She was born in Union City, the daughter of Charles H. and Carrie L. BACON. "Miss BACON is now superintendent of the psychological hospital of Bellevue Hospital, in New York, N.Y., having held that position since 1934. She was graduated from Allegheny College in 1911 and taught several years in the schools of Erie and Crawford counties, going to Bellevue Hospital for her training in 1918. After graduation, she was for many years assistant to the superintendent of nurses of the Allied Hospitals of New York City. "Her sister, Miss Ethel Katherine BACON, has had a somewhat similar career. She was graduated from Allegheny College in 1914, and is also a graduate of the Pennsylvania College of Music. She entered training school at Bellevue Hospital in 1922, and was for a period superintendent of that institution's school of nursing." That's all for BACON!
