Silas Bass
Died, at Warsaw, N.C., January 23d, 1891, Silas Bass, aged 70 years. He died after a few hours illness of heart failure, being generally strong and robust for a man of his age. he was not, as was announced in these columns in a recent issue, a member of the church, but in his latter years at least, evinced a great respect for religious matters. He had been in the employ of the W. & W. Railroad for forty-seven years, and as a remarkable testimonial to his great fidelity to duty the Railroad Company retired him on a pension in his old age and gave him the light duty of superintending a section pump. Of a quiet retiring disposition he was best known and appreciated by children and grandchildren who deeply lament their loss.
