  Notes	Ann Arbor Register, May 30, 1895 Buried Treasure An Old Negro Plows Up a Pile of Curious Money Mr. E.M. Bass, of the well known house of E.M. Bass & Co., is counting a pile of Mexican and Spanish coins and trying to decipher the various descriptions and peculiar marks on them. Mr. Bass and his brother own a farm near Carrollton, and Friday the money was plowed up in the field by an old negro farm hand. The coins has been buried for years near the stump of an old tree, and their discovery was entirely accidental. The old man?s plow turned one of the pieces of money out of the ground, and a little work resulted in the finding of over $100. The coin must have been buried fifty or more years ago, for the most recent date on any of the pieces is 1838. The oldest of the coins is a Spanish 2 cent piece, which bears the date of 1746. Many of the smaller coins have holes punched in them and look as if they had been worn strung around the neck of some person. The coins were brought to Atlanta yesterday by Mr. Bass? brother and given to him to dispose of. The old man who found them promptly reported it to Mr. Bass, who says he intends to give the proceeds of their sale to him, says the Atlanta Constitution. Many of the coins are very quaint and there is no doubt many a collector of such things that would be delighted to get hold of them. 1870 Federal Census of DeKalb County, Tennessee (August 17, 1870) Ezekiel Bass - 47 - Male - Tennessee - Farmer 10,000 1900 Susan - 37 - Female - Tennessee - Keeps House Thomas - 21 - Male - Tennessee 200 William - 20 - Male - Tennessee Josiah - 17 - Male - Tennessee Jordan - 15 - Male - Tennessee Henry - 13 - Male - Tennessee Charles - 11 - Male - Tennessee Rachael - 9 - Female - Tennessee Ezekiel - 3 - Male - Tennessee Sallie - 9/12 - Female - Tennessee and two hired hands Living next door 1870 Federal Census of DeKalb County, Tennessee (August 17, 1870) John A.
