The funeral of Calista Bacon was held today at 4:00 PM at the home of her son, Linus Plimpton, 63 Spring Street.

The funeral establishes Linus Plimpton’s place of residence.

  1. According to the obituary in the Courant on May 22, 1878, Calista Bacon’s funeral was to be held in Worcester, where she had died. In all likelihood, today’s funeral was a memorial service arranged by her four sons who lived in Hartford.
  2. Also, the notice in today’s paper was an announcement of the funeral to be held. So far, I haven’t found any account of this service after it happened.

Calista Plimpton died on May 21, 1878.

Calista Plimpton will be buried in Southbridge, MA.

“Friends are invited to attend without further notice.”
