Death of Leonard Bass
Leonard Bass, of Bengal, died Tuesday morning at 11:30 o?clock in this city at the boarding house of Mart Barnum. He had come to Franklin on the morning train from Martinsville, where he had been eight weeks receiving treatment. The hope had been held out to him that he was improving, but on Monday the physician told him it would be best for him to go home. On his arrival here Tuesday morning he was suffering great pain and had to be carried from the car. He was taken by George McCue, an old neighbor and friend, to his boarding house at Martin Barnum?s and Dr. Payne summoned. The end was fast approaching, however, and no medical aid could be of any avail. Death was due to a complication of diseases, including Bright?s disease and muscular rheumatism.
Deceased was 52 years old and leaves a wife and four sons, the former being now at the Central Insane Hospital. He is a brother of Wm. Bass, trustee of Hendricks Township. None of his relatives were present when he died except Wm. Bass, who had been notified and arrived about one half hour before his brother?s death.
Funeral services were held yesterday at 11 o?clock at Second Mt. Pleasant church, conducted by Rev. P.O. Duncan.
