The arrangements for the anniversary dinner were made by their daughter, Mrs. Nettie M. Church.  Among the remembrances received were a box of beautiful orange blossoms and a crate of luscious oranges from their daughter.  Mrs. Walter Griffing, of Miami Fla.; and their son, Arthur Bacon, of MacClenny, Fla.  Among the attendants at the anniversary was their son, George Bacon, of Norwich, whom ill health prevented taking an active part in the preparations.  Mr. and Mrs. Bacon received the hearty congratulations of a host of friends upon their happy completion of half a century of married life.
