Henry Bass
Henry Bass, third child of Seth and Mary (Whitney) Bass, was born in
Braintree, May 11, 1814. He married Mary P. Cady, of Randolph, March
25, 1847, and had born to him children as follows: Henry Royce, born
September 1, 1848, married Carrie L. Simmons, at San Diego, California, October
4, 1883, died April 1, 1884; Mary F., born November 28, 1849, married
Warren E. White, May 14, 1871, died January 31, 1872; Selvy A., born May
12, 1852, married Clara S. Fowler, June 13, 1883, and is a physician at
Elkader, Iowa; Julia A., born May 24, 1854, married Fred H. Packard,
August 15, 1877, resides in this town; Hattie L., born January 10, 1858,
resides with her parents. Henry Royce, (the son) by dint of great energy and industry,
secured a liberal education, graduating from Oberlin (Ohio) college with high
honors, but with broken health, which he never fully recovered. He taught
school for a time, but his last work was in gathering material for a history of his native town, which work shows his ability as a writer and compiler, and reflects much credit upon its author. In his early death the town lost an able and public spirited man, his large circle of relatives and acquaintances a true friend, and his wife a devoted husband. Henry Bass (the father) is a well preserved man of seventy-three years. His business has been that of farming, and his
pleasant home is on Braintree hill. Mr. Bass is a devoted christian, and in
the absence of a clergyman conducts services at the old church near his
home, reading sermons and in other ways doing the Master's work.
