Sarah Mabrey Bass
Sarah Mabrey Bass was born on October 3, 1888, and her spirit departed this life on January 3, 1925. The end was not unexpected, for she had lingered in sickness about a year. Of her life the writer, who conducted funeral services, has heard nothing but compliments. She became a member of the church of Christ at Smyrna, Tenn., on September 19, 1905. At the time of her death she had been for several years a member of the church at Seminary, only a few miles from Smyrna. One of the members of the Seminary church of Christ remarked to the writer that Sister Bass had been a faithful Christian. That statement, when made in sincerity, is a genuine compliment. The funeral was held in the Bass home, and the burial took place in the family burying ground immediately outside the yard that surrounds the residence. The only near relatives left are a brother, George C. Bass; a sister, Blanche Bass; and an aunt, Mrs. Maggie O. Avent. The sister is a member of the church; but the brother, it appears, seldom, if ever, enters a church house. The writer of this wishes sincerely that Mr. Bass may learn more about the will of God.
