Diary of Edward Bates, Monday, July 18, 1859

Attended the funeral of James. H. Bacon (who died suddenly Saturday night) at the Union Presbyterian church. My wife, and daughter Matilda attended the body to Bellefontaine Cemetery, but I did not, having business at the Office.

Several persons lately have died of sun stroke [.]
