| 2929 | The Pulaski Citizen, Tennessee, 4 January 1900 James Bass The destroyer, Death, has invaded our community again, claiming for its victim, James Bass. This sad death took place on the morning of Dece. 30, at 12:30 o'clock. The deceased was born Nov. 13, 1820, died Dec. 30, 1899, being 79 years, 1 month and 16 days old. He was married to Miss Sarah Houze between fifty and sixty years ago. They raised a large family of children, seven boys and four girls, six of whom are still living, some at the old homestead and the others within a short radius of it. Uncle Jim and Aunt Sallie (as his wife was called) lived a long, prosperous and happy life together, she having preceded him to their home above about eighteen months. Uncle Jim was a man of fine mind and business sense. He was of a political hint of mind and studied and kept posted upon the politics of the country. He was a man of firm will and strong convictions and his position upon any and all subjects could be found easily. He was a good, substatial citizen, a kind, obliging neighbor and the latch string of his door always hung on the outside to his friends and to the stranger, and he never forgot the poor, the widow and the orphan. He was a member of the Primitive Baptist Church at Lynnville, Tenn., and he was strong in the faith. Uncle Jim's health began to decline soon after his wife's death, and he suffered a great deal from dropsy three months preceding his death. His children, grandchildren, and friends nursed him as faithfully and tenderly as any one could desire. He was interred in the family burying ground at the old home near Bradshaw, Tenn., Dec. 31, 1899, being attended by a host of friends and relatives. The country has lost a good citizen and useful man, the family a kind father and the community a good neighbor. Peace to his ashes. | Bass, James (I48292)
