Here is more info I found on the BACON surname in the "History of Crawford County, PA, 1885." On page 855, in the Biographical Sketch section for Cussewago Township: "Daniel C. Waldo, farmer, PO Venango, was born March 23, 1843, in Cussewago Township, this county, and is a son of Calvin Waldo. He went in defense of his country in 1863, as a soldier of the Fifty-sixth Pennsylvania Volunteer Militia. He married, September 23, 1865, Miss Clara O. Randall, an adopted daughter of A.P. Harris. She died February 28, 1872, leaving four children: Mary, Effie, Clara E., Calvin Gersham, and one infant (deceased). Mr. Waldo married, December 1, 1872, Lucinda, daughter of Smith and Aurilla (BACON) Wiard, of Spring Township, this county, born April 29, 1845. They have five children: Smith (deceased), Mabel E., Alice A., Morgan D. and Lucia M. Mr. Waldo has a fine farm of 117 acres. He and his worthy wife are consistent members of the Seventh Day Baptist Church. Our subject has served his township as School Director, Tax Collector, and Census Enumerator. In politics he is a Republican; a member of the Crawford County Republican County Committee." On page 818, in the Bio Sketch section for Conneaut Township: "George L. Wade, formerly junior member of the firm of Moses & Wade, editors and proprietors of the "Cambridge News," Cambridgeboro, was born April 25, 1857, in Chautauqua County, N.Y. His father, Lewis N. Wade was born in 1831, and died in 1874. He was a farmer and lumberman and for many years was in business in Union City, Erie County. He was a member of the I.O.O.F., and A.O.U.W. His wife, Relief M. (Bates) Wade, was born in the State of New York in 1839. They were the parents of three children: J.E., F.E. and George L. She is now in Cambridgeboro, the wife of H.L. BACON, whom she married in 1880. Our subject received a common school education, and began the printing business with J.A. Pain, of the "Corry Telegraph." He picked up the trade with rapidity, and in two years he held cases in Meadville, and subsequently at Greenlee, Penn.; Warren, Cleveland and Akron, Ohio; Grafton, W.Va.; Erie, Penn.; and other places. In 1879 and 1881 Mr. Wade engaged in the job printing business in Bradford, Penn., under the firm names of Lerch & Wade, and in 1882 he bought a half interest in the "Cambridge News," on which he has been instrumental in assisting Mr. Moses in making it a lively newspaper, such a journal as is demanded by the intelligent reading community through which it circulates. July 10, 1884, Mr. Wade sold his half interest in the "News" to his partner, Mr. Moses, but is still an attaché in the office. Our subject was married December 4, 1882, to Grace H., a daughter of A.B. Ross. She was born in 1851, and died December 24, 1883, leaving to her husband the care of two sweet little girl babies, named Grace Ross and Georgie Ross. He is a member of the I.O.O.F. In politics a Republican." One more to follow on BACON! Kathy Brubaker Volunteer Genealogist Linesville Historical Society kbrbkr@toolcity.net
