FUNERAL SERVICES FOR ARONCE BACON HELD ON SATURDAY

Prominent Ville Platte Merchant, and Former Mamou Resident, Dies Friday

Funeral Services for Aronce J. Bacon, 53 years old and prominent Ville 
Platte citizen, were conducted here Saturday morning at the Catholic Church 
and cemetery, Father J. M. Bourgeois officiating.

Mr. Bacon had moved to Ville Platte from Mamou only a few months preceding 
his death. His newly built general merchandise and hardware store here was 
one of the latest additions to local business and enterprise.

Forty members from the Mamou, Ville Platte and Eunice Woodmen of the World 
camps were here for the funeral procession and ceremony at the grave. Wesley 
McCauley, consul commander of the Mamou camp, was in charge of the 
ceremonies. Mr. Bacon was a charter member and financial secretary of the 
Mamou camp for fifteen years.

He is suvived [sic] by his wife, formerly Miss Carrie Buller of Ville 
Platte, two sisters and a brother: Mrs. Bernard Pierottie and Miss Amanda 
Bacon, and Russell Bacon, all of Mamou.

Deceased was a son of Louis Bacon and Carrie Chachere, among the earliest 
pioneer settlers of the Mamou section. He served as both mayor and alderman 
of Mamou when the town was a small village following its incorporation 
approximately 24 years ago. In fact, he was always foremost in all the 
activities of Mamou and Evangeline parish progress.
