There were several Bacon families who lived near the intersection at Baker Road and West Pelham Road back in the 1870s. In fact, John Harrison Bacon lived in his house there until he died in 1920. My Great-Great Grandfather, Calvin Carter, was murdered at Bacon's home in May 1871 by Lyman White. Lyman White about 300 feet away from Bacon's house. So this obscure geographic area has quite a connection for me from a family & historical perspective.
