    Notes 
    • Thomas A. Bass Dies On Farm At Chosen
      Was Father of the Late Elvin A. Bass; Death Due to Stroke

      Thomas A. Bass, 65, father of the late Rep. Elvin a. Bass, of this city, died Sunday morning. He suffered what apparently was a stroke and died before aid could reach him. He died at his farm at Chosen.
      For the last 14 years he had made his home at Pahokee after having lived here for several years.
      His death recalled that of his son here last September 29 when he suffered a heart attack.
      Mr. Bass was born at Orlando and made his home for many years in the central part of the state. He lived for years at Kissimmee where his son, Elvin Bass, was born. In 1915 the family moved here.
      Mr. Bass operated the Bass Boat Line between this city and Lake Okeechobee on the West Palm Beach canal prior to the construction of Conners highway.
      He is survived by his wife, Mrs. Bertha L. Bass; two sons, Lloyd Bass, of Chicago, and T. A. Bass Jr., of Pahokee; and four daughters, Mrs. C.M. Blount, of Fort Myers, Mrs. L.E. Steele, of Dallas, Texas, Miss Thelma Bass of this city, and Miss Mary Louise Bass, who is attending Stetson University at DeLand.
      Funeral arrangements will be announced later from the Everglades Funeral Home at Pahokee.
