JAMES BASS PASSES
Another of this county's pioneer settlers passed away in the death of James Bass who departed this life at his home in Dayton, February 28, 1916, aged 83 years, 10 months, 1 day. He was born in North Carolina, April 27, 1832, and when three years old, came with his parents to Owen County, Indiana. In 1852, he came to Webster County, and purchased the old homestead in Yell township, northeast of town, where most of his active manhood was spent. On February 27, 1857 he was united in marriage to Miss Cassie Halloway of Boone County, who preceded him to the Great Beyond February 3, 1901. To their union was born 9 children, three sons and six daughters, all of whom survive him: Sherman, Grant and Miles Bass of this vicinity, Mrs. Mary Scott and Mrs. Addie Bragg of Gowrie, Mrs. Rachel Miller and Mrs. Elsie Each of Dallas, Oregon, Mrs. Ella Eslick of Rockwell City, and Mrs. Nina Nichols of San Antonio, Texas. On March 1, 1906, he was again united in marriage to Mrs. Anna Butler of Kingston, Canada, who survives him. He is also mourned by twenty seven grandchildren and seven great grandchildren.
During the Indian troubles of the early day, he united with a Boone Co. for defense of the settlers, but their services were not needed upon arriving at Webster City, and they disbanded. In 1863, he again enlisted for service against the Indians, and went with his company to Chain Lake on the Iowa-Minnesota boundary, where he served six months under Captain Ingham. November 18, 1864, he enlisted in Company K, 16th Iowa Volunteer Infantry for service in the Civil War. At Nashville, his company was transferred to the 132nd New York Infantry. He took part in the battles of Fort Negley, Kingston and Goldsboro, North Carolina. At the latter point, his company was reunited with Sherman to Raleigh, thence to Washington, D.C., where he participated in the Grand Review of the Federal Army. They were then ordered to Louisville, Kentucky, where he remained until his honorable discharge, July 19, 1865. At the close of the war, he came back to his farm, where he remained until March, 1896, when he came to town, where he has since lived.
His funeral was held last Thursday afternoon from Grace M.E. church, Rev. Moore conducting the services, and his remains were laid to rest in the Dayton cemetery. Mr. Bass was a man of sturdy character, a leader in his community, and enjoyed a wide acquaintanceship. As one of the early settlers of this region, he helped its development, and he prospered with its material growth. His advice was valued by his neighbors and friends, and he was a trusted counselor in the community in which he spent the years of his activity. His labors are ended but the influence he left among those with whom he lived are lasting. A host of lifelong friends sympathize with the bereaved family in their sad hour of sorrow.
