In the first picture, Dad looks like you made him eat what was in the second picture.
One of the buttercups is also brooding. She and the lorp brood together in the same box. Both are willing to eat if scooped out of the box.
Rosie barks at the robins. She's enjoying playing ball, and she's had a bath.She slept this morning until 8! I thought that was plenty late.
Happy Anniversary!
Hi,
Came across e Blogger quite by accident when I Googled my Great-Grandfather John J. Bacom and saw that Russell Bacom Hewitt is his Great Great Grandson though his son Francis (family nickname was Frank). I am the granddaughter of his son Samuel (Sam).
Am posting it here because it's the most recent entry by Elm who commented on Russell's November 2011 entry about John J. Bacom. Was concerned that if I commented on the 2011 entry that no one would see it for a long time.
One of the comments said that there was a son Nathan that wasn't listed. That's correct. There was also a son Matthew. I never heard of a son James. I believe that John J. Bacom's son John with Julia Rice Bacom (my Great-Grandmother) did not survive childhood.
As to exactly what happened to Frank, I'm not 100 percent sure. I know out of the sons, he died quite young.
John J. (James) Bacom was a carriage trimmer after the Civil War. He served in the 53rd Illinois Infantry Combined in 1865 through 1866, I believe. At the end of his life he moved to Kansas without my Great-Grandmother but was accompanied by at least one of his sons. I've often wondered if he was trying to take advantage of the Homestead Act after the war and was planning on sending for everyone else later. He died at the Fort Leavenworth equivalent of the Veterans Administration of pneumonia. He is buried in the Fort Leavenworth National Cemetery as a Civil War veteran.
I've never "blogged" before and hope I'm not stepping on anyone's toes but didn't know how else to reach specifically Russell Bacom Hewitt. I note that he hasn't made an entry in about 18 months.
Hi Irish,
We're not aware of a Russell Bacom Hewitt. We are descended from Francis Russell Hewitt.
It seems that out paper was accepted, though a lot of revision has been suggested. My particular portion of it, I would like to say, (and I can only say this to you guys, because in math credit is carefully shared equally in any endeavor,) was singled out by both reviewers as the important part of the paper. One called it "immensely powerful".
Oh, I see what you mean, Irish. Russell, whose real name was Francis, died in the 60s.
Hi, again!
Pasting in blog entry that I'm referring to:
Russell Bacom Hewitt
Since Catherine will be filling in the Riddle side of things, this is a thread for the Bacom line:
In the 1880 census, John J. Bacom (1827) and Julia A. Bacom (1840) (my great-great grandparents) are living in Abingdon, IL, with 6 children ranging from 10-1 (Harriet, John, James, Nathaniel, Francis (age 3) & Samuel (!)). John J. is a carriage trimmer. John J. and Julia are both from Kentucky. Great Grandpa Francis seems to disappear at this point, but 30 years later...
1910- Bettie Bacom (26 yrs.) is living in Abingdon with her 3 children (Nathan (7), Russell (5), & Dorothy (3)) at her parents' home (William (50) & Rachie (45) McKinney) with her 3 brothers (John (23), Jessie (19), & Walter (14)). William and his 2 older sons work on the railroad.
1920- Betty (36) Has married David J. Hewitt (46), and is living in Rosedale, Kansas, with Russell and Dorothy in a house with David's brother, Richard, and his wife Lucille, who is from Sweden. Richard and David are barbers.
1930- Russell (25) is living with David & Betty Hewitt in L.A.. Russell is a checker at a wholesale grocery. David is a vacuum cleaner salesman.
All of this comes from census records. It would benice to find out what happened to Francis between being aged 3 and dying in a hotel room in Texas. And what kind of Civil War did our Kentucky forebears have?

I now notice that this was posted by Chandran. Is Chandran, Russell Bacom Hewitt? That's how I'm reading it, but, obviously, I'm confused!
Thanks so much K2 for responding. No, I'm referring to Francis (Frank) Bacom, my Great Uncle, my Grandfather's brother, and my Great-Grandfather's son.
Maybe we can clear this up! I've got my fingers crossed!
Congratulations on your 54 years of wedded bliss, Jan and Madhu!
Interesting blog by Irish.
Wow, good job on the paper, Kly!!!
Hi,
It's the pest. Sorry, don't mean to be.
The Francis (Frank) C. (Courtney)Bacom that I am referring to that I think is Chandran's Great-Great Grandfather (I suspect it's only one Great) was born on May 22, 1877, in Abingdon, Illinois. He died on January 9, 1933, and is buried at Fort Sam Houston National Cemetery, San Antonio, Bexar County, Texas, Plot: C, 0, 73. This is, I believe, a military cemetery. I know that Frank registered for military service in 1918 (the very end of World War I), and I assume that he must have served in order to be eligible to be buried here.
I also mistyped another brother's name. His name was Madison, not Matthew. As to James, I wonder if he like John, he did not survive childhood.
Well, I will check once in awhile to see if this rings any bells. Hope your family has a wonderful summer. By the by, our Bacom branch lives in the Chicago area, and our immediate family is over 60 now! Thanks so much, Brenda!
