department of the Louisville University; there he graduated in 1855; he
then commenced the practice of medicine in North Christian; remained there
but a short time, and removed to Princeton, where he practiced about one
year.  In the fall of 1856 he removed to Henderson County; there practiced
his profession till [sic] 1860; he then went to Philadelphia and received a
course of lectures at the University of Pennsylvania, from which he
graduated in March, 1861; he then returned to Roaring Springs; there
continued in the practice of his profession till [sic] 1874, when he
removed to Cadiz, where he has since resided.  Dr. Bacon was married in
