The heavy stupor which had held him, with Increasing heaviness, ever since his accident, last Friday night, deepened by steady degrees all yesterday afternoon and evening. By little and little his pulse grew faint and his breathing slow. The relatives who watched beside his bed could hardly say at what particular moment the end came. It was near the hour of two o’clock this morning.Mr. Bass was seventy-one years o’d or thereabout. He was born near Carthage, Indiana, and spent Ins boyhood there. As a youth he went to Richmond, and began to learn the barber’s trade. In the early forties he came to Connersville, and spent the rest of his quiet life here. In 1S57 he was married to Fannie Moore. Their union was childless, and the wife died shortly afterward Six years after that marriage the sec*' ond, which was with Elizabeth Williams, took place. The widow vives, as do four of the eight dren who were born to them, living are Mrs. Farabee Evans,Cora Tuttle and Mrs. Alberta Fairfax, all of Connersville, and Harry Bass, of St. Paul, Minnesota. The son has not arrived as yet, and the funeral arrangements will not be made until he comes.The simple facts in this man’s life require no lengthy space for recitation. But to those who knew him books and sermons might be written concerning his quiet good sense, his everlasting kindness, his unchanging disposition to give his own time to his own concerns, his rare and contagions humor, his absolute honesty, and his sterling citizenship. He was a manly man, and he will be sadly missed, not only at home, but about that corner of Court and Central, under which he had kept his neat little shop for more than forty years. Fie was a member of the orders of Masons and K. of P., and of the Methodist church. Three members of the family only are left, a brother, William Bass, of the National Soldiers’ Home, in Marion, Indiana, and two sisters, Mrs. Mary Robinson, of Indianapolis, and Mrs. Sadie Hill, of Connersville.
